I saw this today and I thought it was a decent film. Angelina Jolie's performance was definitely good as Maleficent and I liked how they changed Maleficent up a bit and made the tale a little more tragic. The movie does suffer however from being a bit too fast paced in the beginning, which from my memory is the first movie I that I've had this opinion.

What I'm talking about is that I think the movie could have been a bit longer to flesh out Maleficent's backstory, her motivations.

(SPOILER)I did find it odd at the end how Aurora wasn't upset at all that Maleficent killed her father and just went back easily to living with her. We also had like zero time with Aurora's mother too. I did also think that there should have been some scenes showing Maleficent improving her magic because it seemed to come out of nowhere. Really this movie just needed to be longer.
