Angelina Jolie and her cheekbones steal the day in Disney’s inevitable sequel to its 2014 monster hit,This one basically picks up where the first one left off. You might recall that Maleficent , the evil, winged sorceress who acts as faerie godmother to Aurora , aka Sleeping Beauty, was the one whose kiss awakened her from her deep slumber, not handsome Prince Philip’s .
It seems our “evil” mistress is awkwardly shy around normal humans, and all the Eliza Doolittle-type training doesn’t really work out before she has a fit and basically blows up the dinner, especially when the Queen — theevil star of the story — reveals she now will look at Aurora as her own daughter.
Meanwhile, Aurora is starting to take charge of her own affairs and we get the romantic subplot going in style. Fortunately there can be no mistake that Jolie is the star here, and she has plenty of surprises left in her arsenal, even when thought to be dead. This is where the elaborate CGI work really comes into play in all its Disney glory. This isyour mother’s Sleeping Beauty, even though the memory of that 1959 animated classic is still strong.
Jolie was born to play this role and she does it with relish in those stylish and outlandish costumes, a sight to die for . Pfeiffer gets to chew the scenery and do a lot of scheming herself, and it’s great fun to see the two play off each other, with sweet Aurora caught in the middle. The lovable faeries are back in the form of Imelda Staunton, Lesley Manville and Juno Temple. Lots of cute elves elevate the proceedings too.
