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…

These elements give the movie a nice shine, but when you bust out the polish to make your shoe look pretty, it doesn't make a difference if the sole is missing. Jan 10, 2020 | Rating: Catch It On Cable | Full Review…

Mistress of Evil is simultaneously overdone and undercooked, with a lot of the customary mistakes of giant studio entertainment. Dec 20, 2019 | Rating: 5/10 | Full Review…

Maleficent 2 is weirdly memorable with strange visual choices, great costumes, and two true movie stars giving each other the stink eye. Dec 18, 2019 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

... a feast for the senses and the mind in terms of pure fantasy and imagination... buries significant character opportunities, as if the writers were tasked to combine three different scripts that defied being strung together. Dec 7, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Mistress of Evil could have done anything it wanted with its unconventional villain. And yet, for some reason, Disney chose to clip her wings - keeping her story from ever taking flight. Dec 6, 2019 | Full Review…
