I saw Maleficent last night and saying it was “pretty bad” is putting it lightly. I kept hoping it would get better even though I knew it was a lost cause.
I watched the movie with a friend who was equally if not more appalled than I, here are a few of the comments we whispered during the film.
Note: comments in bold were said by my friend
This movie is horrible
Never Mess with a Jilted Lover
“You’re my Fairy Godmother.” Seriously Aurora, how daft can you be, when has a Fairy Godmother ever had horns?
That was hardly a kiss /does this mean Maleficent and Aurora are lesbians?
Flounder and Sebastian could have done it faster
Just turn into a dragon and die already!
And they lived happily ever after with the fat fairies
I want my money back
Oh no! That bad?

Complete disappointment, I was a little weary going into it but was not expecting the disaster I experienced.
Lol. So, I guess I'll pass (even though I was looking forward to it).
If you really want to see the movie I'd reccommend watching it on dvd — then you can freely mock it.
I thought the Maleficent/Aurora kiss thing was more of a mother/daughter thing. Men don't have to save you and what not. But this film fell so flat. I didn't see your review sooner.. it was when my family was in town. I wish I would've though!
