What to Know

Critics Consensus

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.

Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com There's a lot of money on the screen, Angelina Jolie is once again really good in the film, the musical score is great, and some of the action sequences are cool. But the story this time around is even less investing than last time. Rated: C Jun 8, 2020 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review It just did not know what it wanted to be. Oct 24, 2019 Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International "Mistress of Evil" has its heart in the right place, but good intentions can't overcome a nagging blockbuster familiarity. Oct 21, 2019 Full Review Francesca Faccani Loud and Clear Reviews The new “woke” and conscious interpretation of the Sleeping Beauty story is a fairy-tale for the present time, the one we want to grow old with and tell our children about. Rated: 4/5 Sep 21, 2024 Full Review Samantha Puc The Beat There’s a distinct feeling that the filmmakers wanted this sequel to feel as stakes-heavy and intense as something like Return of the King, which is honestly just too ambitious. Jul 10, 2024 Full Review Kate Boyle InSession Film Maleficent: Mistress of Evil was a huge surprise for me, I found it vastly more enjoyable than the first film.

Angelina Amazing. Loved Angelina Jolie! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/23 Full Review Chloe Definitely a must see sequel to the original! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/05/20 Full Review Audience Member NOT ENOUGH MALEFICENT! This movie is pretty long but Angelina Jolie AKA Maleficent is only in about 20 minutes of it total. Pretty disappointing as most people watch it for Maleficent. The best parts are the beginning and end. It seems more so like they just threw something together than actually took time on it. The dialogue was also incredibly cheesy, uck. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Charles B Angelina Jolie was great in this role! She adopted the role of a sorceress with a disdain for mankind wonderfully, yet at the same time, you could always sense the undercurrent of her love for her adopted child and the desire to see humans and the fey living together in peace. Special effects and cinematography were excellent. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/20 Full Review Antonio Reyes Angelina jolie. That's it, that was the movie. She's the reason I watched it. She's magical. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/04/20 Full Review Brigitte B The war is to much for kids... really cute and fun colors tho 🤪 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/01/20 Full Review Read all reviews
