Wow I am way late on this 기사 hahaha.
For this movie I'm going to compare it a little to the original Sleeping Beauty and treat it as a standalone film. So for this movie and for the other remakes I'm going to not only talk about what I've been talking about for the animated movies, I'm going to compare the remakes to the originals while trying not to judge it for being not as good as the original.
Tonight's rewatch: Maleficent
Last time watched: Summer of 2014
How much did I like this movie as a kid?
I kinda liked it when I saw it in theaters but when I watched it again on dvd a couple months later I didn't like it anymore. I liked some of the new ideas put into it but I hated what happened to the characters, especially the Good Fairies.
How much of this movie have I forgotten:
The child actress who played young Maleficent was so...eh. And the creatures of the forest really had a little girl fly off to deal with a possibly dangerous human? The creatures apparantly have no idea how to take care of children, especially the 요정 who "raised" Aurora.
I almost forgot how cool the battle between humans and creatures was. It wasn't the battle in Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe but I still liked watching it. I just wish it hadn't been used so early in the movie 또는 been over so quickly.
This isn't something I forgot but I want to say props to the movie for doing such a good job on the scene where Maleficent loses her wings. It's so incredibly heartbreaking and the symbolism is even 더 많이 so and I 사랑 that it wasn't something just brushed aside and Angelina did a great job with her 연기 in that scene. This is going to be messed up but I was actually disappointed when she got her wings back. I don't know why I don't like it, I really just don't.
I forgot that when Maleficent took over as evil ruler of the forest she just...did it. She just decided to declare herself ruler and the creatures just went with it. I know she was respected before because she was the protector of the Moors but it still shouldn't have been that easy. And we don't see much of a difference in the Moors afterwards. When we do see the Moors after Maleficent takes over she's with Aurora and everything looks about the same and the creatures act the same except for maybe one 또는 two of them actually being scared.
The fact that Maleficent was actually just improvising when doing her curse actually makes me laugh a little. I can't believe I forgot that little detail.
I forgot how much I liked the score in this film. There's a few scenes where the songs sound off 또는 didn't work with the scenes themselves but I loved the 음악 used for the ceremony for the baby
Old vs New:
In the original Maleficent placed a curse on Aurora because she wasn't invited to a party, in Maleficent she did it because Stefan betrayed her. I 사랑 that Maleficent was so petty in the original but I sorta liked this change.
As much as I liked Diaval's actor I wish the 까마귀 stayed a crow. Maleficent in the original clearly had a good bond with Diablo without him needing to be human.
I will forever be angry about how this movie ruined the Good Fairies. Yes, there were times where they didn't agree but in this movie they're so incredibly immature about it and they were so neglectful of Aurora. And I don't even understand how Stefan could have trusted the 요정 in the remake with his daughter when they only just met and weren't 프렌즈 like the 요정 and Stefan were in the original. And the way they just brushed off her curse as her "only sleeping" and only cared about themselves when they had to find Aurora after she ran away was just such a slap in the face.
At first I hated the fact that Maleficent found the hidden cottage right away and was always watching over her but I actually like the idea of a dark fairy with horns being a mother-figure for this happy 노래 little girl. I didn't like Aurora's reasoning for why she thought Maleficent was her "Fairy Godmother" though, it felt a little cheap. To be honest if I was followed 의해 some shadow my whole life I wouldn't be all smiley and assume they were a friend.
King Stefan becoming mad in this movie is another change I find interesting and actually like. King Stefan was a good character in the original but he doesn't leave as much impact as the Good 요정 did so that's why I'm not as angry about this change. When I first watched this movie I thought he was working on having an iron shield so he could protect his daughter later if the curse didn't work out but watching it now (with subtitles) he was 더 많이 worried about himself.
Before rewatching the original I used to hate how smiley and constantly cheerful Aurora was in this movie but after watching the original I can see that this movie actually did her character right. That's how Aurora was in the original, she was a dreamer, she smiled, and she played with her friends. The only differences are that Aurora in the remake didn't sing and she didn't have as good of a relationship with the 요정 like in the original.
The way the part where the 요정 had Philip 키스 Aurora while she was sleeping was even 더 많이 lame than I remember. The 요정 make Philip 키스 Aurora only after finding out he's a prince when they knew the spell would be broken 의해 true love's kiss, not a prince's kiss. It felt like this movie was trying to ruin the original's true love's 키스 의해 going, "See? It wouldn't work because they barely knew each other!" when this movie actually missed the point. In the original Philip and Aurora had a real scene together, they danced and sung to each other and Philip escaped a 성 and fought a dragon to save her. The Philip in this movie was just....there. I still liked Maleficent's forehead 키스 being the 키스 the woke her, at least.
I wish Maleficent turned into a dragon in this movie too but Diaval as a dragon looked so freaking amazing! I don't have an actual problem with it so I can't really complain about this one.
Movie:
Even without comparing this movie to the original there's some parts of the movie that annoy me, mostly the scenes with the 요정 because they're such horrible characters. I might like this movie 더 많이 if there were some better changes for it.
Rating: 2/10
How much has my opinion changed?
My opinion hasn't changed but I can at least look at this movie in a somewhat different light after watching Sleeping Beauty recently.
Would I watch it again?
Maaaaaaaaaaybe
다음 영화 will be Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World and CInderella :)

This girl is beautiful, kind, intelligent and is able to see the true beauty within
Alright, I skipped my trips to the gym for this article, I'm such a slacker! Anyway, at least it is 게시됨 now. A total of 21 users 제출됨 their 가장 좋아하는 DP 영화 lists and I averaged out the rankings. WARNING this list is very typical and expect 2 ties!

I'm going to be honest, the main reason why it's last on my list is probably because it's Pixar. I don't get that feeling of magic watching 픽사 영화 that I get when I watch 디즈니 movies. I only 사랑 a few of 픽사 영화 and 메리다와 마법의 숲 is not one of them unfortunately. People have called it unoriginal and I can't say I disagree,...
