Maleficent: Mistress of Evil

What to Know

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.

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

While Maleficent: Mistress of Evil suffers from treading down some fairly well worn paths it does it with exceptional skill.

Much like the original, there's very little charm and excitement to be found in Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. While Jolie looks impressive in her full Maleficent costume, there is little reason to watch the film outside of that.

Rated: 4/10

Angelina Amazing. Loved Angelina Jolie! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/23 Full Review Chloe Definitely a must see sequel to the original! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/05/20 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Charles B 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. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/20 Full Review Antonio Reyes Angelina jolie. That's it, that was the movie. She's the reason I watched it. She's magical. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/04/20 Full Review Brigitte B The war is to much for kids... really cute and fun colors tho 🤪 Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/01/20 Full Review Read all reviews
