The movie "Maleficent 2: Mistress of Darkness" started in the American box office with a dismal result, which actually put an end to its ability to pay off at home. USA rental is a completely different matter. Angelina Jolie still enjoys such authority in our country that, despite not too convincing trailers, the picture started much better than its predecessor. Whether she will keep this high bar will depend solely on the viewer's sundress. How effective it will be depends directly on the opinion of the readers of the Cinema News edition.
"I expected much worse than in the first part, but to my great surprise, I really liked the sequel. Angelina Jolie is still incomparable. , charismatic and even sexier than in the first movie. All the humor is tied to her character and it works without any interruptions. Elle Fanning isn't that annoying. As well as the fairy godmothers, whom they spent very little time, for which the creators are sincerely grateful. Michelle Pfeiffer's character is a typical formulaic villain, but Pfeiffer's acting and charisma are doing their job, and it's impossible to take your eyes off her. Diaval was given much more screen time than in the original, which allowed the creators of the sequel to make him a much more independent character. The rest - "well, norms." The plot is simple, but for such a fairy tale there is simply no point in complicating it. The visual component of the Swamp World is striking in its beauty and diversity. I liked the costumes, the scenery is also beyond praise. The final battle is even bigger than the original. In general, Disney surprised. "Eugene Sh
Although they themselves (one in the first part, the other in the second) created such situations for each other. In the movies, perhaps, watch, but with children? ". MiB
" Angelina in the role of Maleficent is still beautiful and ominous. Although there is a transition of the character's arrogance into theatrical cardboardness. Maleficent is twice as motivated as she was in the first movie, augmented by the 'secret weapon'. Aurora-Fanning is sweet and spontaneous, but her status in the swamp, and not only society, could not help adding to her audacity, which is often observed in the plot. The king in the movie, despite the cynicism, is only a `` tool '' in the hands of the antagonist. The prince, as it should, plays without memory a lover who does not notice anything around. Only in the end does he show a little valor and monarchical inclinations. The queen's character is angular, her motivation is strained to the ears. But Pfeiffer's play is pleasant to watch, although her face is mostly twisted with anger in the frame. The confessions of the queen in the finale look more like a mockery of Aurora than carry some kind of semantic load. Diaval became, so to speak, a more independent character, it's good even that for a while he was `` cut off '' wings. The swamp world is beautifully drawn and contrasted well with the monotonous order of the Human Kingdom. The final battle is larger than the previous one in the first movie, but the impression was constantly created that you were watching, I apologize for the tautology, an alternative view of the events of the final episodes of one very famous series. A good fairy tale, no better than the first part, but no worse. "Xen04158602
" Much better than the first, gorgeous fairy tale, unparalleled spectacle, probably the best spectacle of the year, got great pleasure, so 10/10 from me! PS These movies can only be watched in Imaxe, if possible! ". Maxxx
" The sequel to Maleficent - this is a bright fairy tale without a claim for more. A simple plot and an indistinct antagonist are leveled by a very beautifully drawn magical world and a good message. Someone, judging by the reviews, rejects the excessive variety of races of actors, but this did not bother me when watching it - they are all deeply secondary characters and do not irritate the eyes. Jolie has become a little smaller, and Fanning - much more. If you choose from five Disney play tales this year, as for me, "Aladdin" and "Lady of Darkness" are the best. But the cartoons of this studio are still many times better, and the fourth "Toy Story",
