Critics Consensus

While it's far from cursed, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil too rarely supports its impressive cast and visuals with enough magical storytelling to justify its existence.

There's a lot of money on the screen, Angelina Jolie is once again really good in the film, the musical score is great, and some of the action sequences are cool. But the story this time around is even less investing than last time.

It just did not know what it wanted to be.

"Mistress of Evil" has its heart in the right place, but good intentions can't overcome a nagging blockbuster familiarity.

I didn't expect much from this movie, but it didn't stop me from thinking, 'Oh, boy, this going to be pretty forgettable.'

4/5

The new “woke” and conscious interpretation of the Sleeping Beauty story is a fairy-tale for the present time, the one we want to grow old with and tell our children about.

There’s a distinct feeling that the filmmakers wanted this sequel to feel as stakes-heavy and intense as something like Return of the King, which is honestly just too ambitious.

NOT ENOUGH MALEFICENT! This movie is pretty long but Angelina Jolie AKA Maleficent is only in about 20 minutes of it total. Pretty disappointing as most people watch it for Maleficent. The best parts are the beginning and end. It seems more so like they just threw something together than actually took time on it. The dialogue was also incredibly cheesy, uck.

Angelina Jolie was great in this role! She adopted the role of a sorceress with a disdain for mankind wonderfully, yet at the same time, you could always sense the undercurrent of her love for her adopted child and the desire to see humans and the fey living together in peace. Special effects and cinematography were excellent.

Angelina jolie. That's it, that was the movie. She's the reason I watched it. She's magical.
