I really like that trailer. It's more simple and direct than I expected.

Angelina Jolie makes a fantastic Maleficent. But there's something about Aurora/the sleeping beauty that annoys me.
The picture I get from this does not make me excited about the movie. I want to see revenge and destruction, not a happy ending. :/ But it's a Disney film, what can you expect.

How does this fit into Kingdom Hearts's continuity?
Really excited after that trailer, ngl.

Well she turns into a dragon and dies in the original story, so if they stick to that I don't really see how it can have a happy ending.
I think she's going to make a fantastic Maleficent, and I can't wait to see how this movie turns out!!
EDIT: Elle Fanning's accent is terrible though. Also she doesn't really look tall enough to be Aurora as I'd envisioned her.

I don't think she looks old enough either.
Which is no surprise I guess, after all she was 14 when they started shooting the film.

Unpopular girl doesnt get invited to the popular kids birthday party. Vows revenge for being shunned.

The Disney version is more like, dangerous kid doesn't get invited to the nice,leagal party, and crashes it and (almost) ends up killing someone...
and now Disney is having them wonder why nobody likes them? It's only slightly obvious from the cartoon version why nobody does. It stinks of someone trying to be hip/cool with an old classic that should be left well enough alone.
Probably has to do with how I didn't watch many Disney Princess movies as a kid, but for some reason my parents had no problem with me reading the actual fairy tales by Charles Perrault and the Grimm Brothers... where most of the villains aren't misunderstood at all...
Side note: the Charles Perrault version of Sleeping Beauty definitely has the fairy who curses Sleeping Beauty portrayed in a (very) negative light. The king forgot that she existed, or forgot to send her an invitation, and when she crashes the party he actually makes an effort to apologize because he didn't intend not to invite her. And then she goes and gives Sleeping Beauty a death curse... yeah.

It turns out the step-mother of the Prince is an ogress and wants Sleeping Beauty and her kids for lunch...

The trailer didn't really do much for me, but it looks like the movie could be OK. I mean the visuals look nice (the shot of Maleficent and the branches is great) but nothing really stood out to me to set it apart from stuff like the recent Oz movie and Snow White and the Huntsman. As for the story, I was expecting it to be more like a kind of prequel but it looks like they're doing some sort of retelling? She better still turn into a dragon.

It makes me regret kicking her ass in Kingdom Hearts in her regular and Dragon form as Sora, beast and goofy. :[

I really can't wait to see how she turned evil. There aren't a lot of films that show the viewpoint of the villain. By the looks of it, could be one of the best films of this year. Roll on May!

Maleficent has some amazing cheekbones. Just like Peggy Bundy.
I won't knock it until I see it. Angelina usually plays a roll that is typical for her kind of appeal. I feel like every time I see her face on a movie ad, I already sort-of know what kind of movie it's going to be and what kind of character she's going to play. Maybe she'll steal the show, who knows.
Charlize on the other hand can play any roll in any genre and make everyone around her seem slightly more meaningful just by standing in the same room with them. Did you see her in Monster???
I won't speak on the matter of Kristen Stewart's acting skills, just like I won't speak on the matter of dull, boring, constipated looking rocks.

I'm sorry but... What the hell are you talking about? Neither of them are in this movie.

Sorry, a few pages back there was a conversation about how these movies are redone and SWATH was mentioned. I forgot to quote the post I was replying to.
