Story: Maleficent and her goddaughter Aurora begin to question the complex family ties that bind them as they are pulled in different directions by impending nuptials, unexpected allies, and dark new forces at play.

Likes: " Hello breasty" Maleficent is back and on top form with a specular sequel that follows the first film perfectly with a more in-depth story explain who Maleficent truly is, as a fantasy film the special effects and the way the story unfolds is amazing with more action this time around.

I do feel however that the PG certification is a little low for this film, as there are some scene this in this film that a little bit frightening for the younger viewers, but apart from that Angelina Jolie performance play the mistress of evil again was outstanding, like she was born for this role and just comfortable with the character.

 Elle Fanning giving more to do with this film, as the first film was more focus on Maleficent, Here we see a more grown-up Aurora putting in a stella performance by Elle. Michelle Pfeiffer performance was amazing as well give a sinister queen with agenda, which end up in a Game of throne style battle.

The creative way this film is done, in introducing more of Maleficent kind shown in the trailer, but reveal something more about Maleficent to why she is different from her kind was set up pretty well, special with supporting cast from Chiwetel Ejiofor and Ed Skrein who gave an in-depth look at the different types of Maleficent people.

The CGI work and cinematography with the flying and camera angles really set the tone of a fantasy world, that really need a third film to make it a trilogy as this is the best Angelina Jolie film ive seen, special the best Disney film ive seen, which most of the other disney live-action film have been medicroe, im not really one for prising disney, but Maleficent is one of the best fantasy film ive seen in a long time as it got that certain charm to it Angelina Jolie looks beautiful as maleficent. 
   
Dislikes: Some might find it predictable which may ruin your experience in this film, the film does push that Lovely dovely a little too much at times, the title is a little miss leadingas well as Maleficent wasnt really that evil in this sequel, the certification is way too low. 

Overall: Outstanding performances, Great fantasy story, Jolie was on top form

Rating: 5 out of 5 for Entertainment / 9 out of 10 for the sequel
