Sooo, a digitally enhanced fairytale that’s a riff on “Sleeping Beauty” kind of from the villain’s point of view?
Angelina Jolie has the title role. Is she “big” enough to embody that much evil? Is there a hint of self-aware humor in the character? Not here.
We’ll have to wait to see if it is more than meets the eye.
“Maleficent” is due out next May.
