So basically, Michelle Pfeiffer gets to do whatever she wants (including biological warfare/genocide) with no consequence, and we should all be unreasonably forgiving.
I just don't understand how her character's able to F everyone over and over again! Aurora does nothing but cries and pretends to be useful, the prince is...just a prince, and maleficent barely manages to save the day at the cost of (a whole lot of) magical creatures' lives because she arrives late, gets killed for basically no reason, reborn (yes, you read right), seemingly re-saves the day yet unable to undo any death, turns the castle "flowery" and everybody rejoice! Hug your enemies (never mind that the blue fairy is now just a pot of flower and half of the near-extinct dark feys are gone)!
I literally cringed the entire 2/3 of the movie because of how oblivious everyone is; it's like nobody gives a damn about what just happened. Probably hundreds of innocents were killed, but the perpetrator is now a goat, ha ha! Most of the so-called "plot" is laughable like that unfunny goat, with tropes, played out conveniences, and forced romances:
1. The whole "We dark feys have been hiding here (less than an hour away)" is like a less convincing rerun of How to Train Your Dragon. 2. Maleficent realizes her "Phoenix force" after a Black man sacrifices himself, resulting in her flirting with the reckless White boy who is still alive. 3. One of the human soldiers (who did the most killings) checks out the rainforest-fey lady (10 minutes after her partner got killed)...She likes it and reciprocates.
This movie leaves a really bad taste in my mouth; the ending is so forced and everybody is so blatantly happy despite the tragedy-makes me wanna puke all over Disney.
