As a movie on its own I think it was good, but not great. Especially if you have no idea on how the original Disney movie goes.
Everything below could be a spoiler, so don't read unless you have seen the movie.
The main problem that I have with this movie, is that Maleficent is known to be one of the greatest Disney Villains of all time.
This movie goes away with all of that and now I am afraid that Maleficent will now be looked as a good person. It ruins the original attention of the character.
Other issues...
The good fairies are now good pixies.
The good pixies do not have their original names.
The pixies are shown as idiots. Sure they were sort of like that in the original, but they take it to the extreme in this version.
Maleficent's crow goes in and out of animal and human form. That character is better in crow form than any of the transformations.
King Stefan is a bad guy? I mean why would the fairies err pixies be a part of this families gathering? Was this ever explained?
The crow turns into a dragon?
Side thoughts:
If the overall thoughts on Maleficent as a good guy changes peoples thinking of the character, does that mean she is changed for Fantasmic? Maybe she will now save Mickey...ugh... jk
