While it's far from cursed, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil too rarely supports its impressive cast and visuals with enough magical storytelling to justify its existence.

There's no need for this [sequel]... It's almost not campy enough. Oct 21, 2019 | Full Review…

We get a classic buildup establishing heroes and villains; gorgeous, screen-popping visuals featuring beautiful and mysterious worlds; a bounty of colorful and magical creatures, and a lengthy, CGI-laden, climactic battle sequence... Oct 18, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The bottom line is that Maleficent 2 takes a brilliant character and doesn't completely bugger things up. Oct 18, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

As is so often the case, Maleficent didn't exactly cry out for another chapter, but if forced to do one with a sharp spindle pointed at your head (or finger), this is about as good as one could have hoped. Oct 18, 2019 | Full Review…

And [Jolie] is a star here: something amazing to behold, an Old Hollywood glamour shot come to...well, not exactly come to life, but mobile, anyway. Oct 18, 2019 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Sadly, such fun is not to be had in "Mistress of Evil," a needless sequel to the 2014 "Sleeping Beauty" riff that fails to fully value the entire of appeal of these films: Jolie's Maleficent. Oct 18, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is likely to have its fans given their admiration for the original but when compared to the aforementioned films, it's sorely lacking. Nov 9, 2019 | Rating: C | Full Review…

The plot seems a touch thin, the battle scenes interminable, and resolution, when it comes, unearned. Nov 8, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

It goes down easy, thanks to a colorful palette and Woolverton's refusal to soft-pedal the nefarious lengths Queen Ingrith will go to carry out her anti-fairy agenda. Nov 7, 2019 | Full Review…

Declares that Maleficent is hostile and threatening and scary, while also telling a story in which she is specifically not those things. It's very confounding and sloppy. Nov 4, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

With the overwhelming razzle-dazzle of computer-generated vistas, there's definitely something missing. Fairytales are meant to be whispered, invoking wonder and mystery, even at their darkest. This is shouty and loud. Nov 4, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…
