Maleficent

As a major fan of everything Disney, I had been excited for months to watch Maleficent. As soon as it was released at the cinema, I dragged my best friend Lucy to come and watch it with me. I have never really seen a movie featuring Angelina Jolie before, and therefore didn't know what to expect. However, her portrayal of Maleficent was perfect! I was more than impressed with her look, acting quality and her voice. I couldn't have asked for a better Maleficent. 
The storyline itself was a fantastic twist on the original Sleeping Beauty story. Without giving away the story to you people who have yet to watch it, it was highly different in parts to the original which makes for good viewing. 
Elle Fanning is one of my favourite actresses so I knew she was going to be the perfect princess. She still upheld the class and elegance of the original cartoon Aurora, with a little added sassiness and a lot more independence. This princess, unlike the original, isn't going to wait around to be saved.
Disney have made an amazing film with fabulous special effects. The three fairies are really life-like as they shrink and grow throughout the movie. The woodland creatures too are very cleverly made via computer animation. 
This definitely is a must see movie for any Disney or fairy tale fan. I cannot wait till it comes out on DVD so I can watch it again and again.
