I know this is a little bit of an older movie and it will probably be out of theaters soon, but it is still showing quite a bit and I kind of wanted to see it and my mom and I wanted to see a movie... so we saw this. I wasn't really expecting to like it quite as much as I did, I have been super picky about movies lately and this got such bad reviews, but I really really loved it!
Now it wasn't what I expected the movie to be at all. My sister loves Maleficent and she was really excited about this movie and she was a little disappointed that Maleficent wasn't the same as she was in Sleeping Beauty. She wasn't nearly as wicked... she wasn't really wicked at all, just kind of misunderstood. Speaking of Wicked: I thought this story was going to be like Wicked where its a completely different view of the Wizard of Oz and it tells what happened with the Wicked Witch. Or I thought it would be like a super villain origin story where it tells how she became evil... which I guess it kind of did. But the story itself wasn't that different from the real version of Sleeping Beauty.
I also mentioned I saw this movie with my mom, and I think this is an absolute great movie for mothers and daughters to see together. I don't really want to spoil anything, but it has a very strong female image (in my opinion) and I think its an important movie for young girls to see. It's really good. It's probably not great for dads to see... lol if you saw the movie you understand that, but I don't think I know any men that actually like or would like this movie. It's not a dad movie, so if you saw it on Father's Day... I'm sorry. lol.
There's also a long part in the middle of the movie thats a little boring... well its kind of a lot boring... but its not the worst I've ever seen in a movie. It was still loaded with great visuals, really beautiful movie all around. It was actually kind of moving how amazing the visuals were.
And the fairies that raised Aurora were sooo sooo funny! They were the comic relief in this more serious disney movie and I really enjoyed seeing them. I thought they were great. And one was played by Umbridge from Harry Potter. It's funny because I recognized her, but I couldn't place who she was. At first I thought she was Granny from Once Upon a Time, then I thought she was the nun from Orange is The New Black, and now I looked up who she was. Anyway the fairies made the movie more interesting in the middle when the movie got kind of boring.
Also I should mention I saw this in 3D. I don't see many movies in 3D because I usually don't think its worth the extra money for just a few effects, but this was actually really a great movie in 3D. It was worth the extra money, it didn't have that many effects, but it did put you in the world of the movie and it was really cool.
Definitely go see this one! I was super impressed and I highly recommend it. It's actually a cute story even though it doesn't seem that way. If you like the story of Sleeping Beauty and you liked the original, I'm sure you'll like this. They didn't change anything really, and its just absolutely a beautiful and meaningful story.
