Maleficent 2

Years later and still out of our league.

[Gee]

Reviews are out. Looks like this will continue the streak of "critics hate it, audience loves it" for recent live-action Disney flicks.

Thought it was terrible. Maleficent was very passive in the film and barely does anything. Has a few goofy one-liners and that's about it.

Whoever has kids with Elle Fanning, odds are they're gonna come out decent looking no matter how much of a gargoyle you may be.

I've always wanted to see Elle Fanning as Zelda in a Legend of Zelda movie, and these photos make me want to see that happen even more now. That last photo with the swords & shield, come on!

Seeing Pfeiffer in these photos pretty much confirms she's made a deal with the devil. She looks amazing.

Hitting this after work to see what's up. I hear tell it's darker than the first, and still kinda shocked they stuck the PG rating.

We know she did.

I just got back from seeing the film. It's always a joy to see Michelle up on the big screen... but no doubt this is a flawed film.

Things I liked:
- Pfeiffer really had the lead role here and is given the most material to work with (I can see why she said yes).
- The visuals and climax were excellent.
- Jolie was wonderful once more as Maleficent.
- The story was more exciting and engaging than the first movie.
- The score was quite effective.

Things I disliked:
- The movie had some clear pacing problems. The middle stretch in particular suffers.
- Outside of Maleficent and Queen Ingrith, the characters were thinly drawn.
- The cinematography was a little too dark/dull in places.
- The ending for Queen Ingrith was misjudged (I might be alone in thinking this)

Based on the box office, it appears unlikely that we'll be seeing a 'Maleficent 3'.

I think I enjoyed this more than the first one. The first one was so cringey. However, a lot of the things/characters are quite undercooked and the more I think about it, the story just felt rushed.

Based on the box office, it appears unlikely that we'll be seeing a 'Maleficent 3'.

If Hollywwood movie Execs had any brain , which they dont , they could easily greenlight a smaller budget for Maleficent 3.

Make it for $100-150 million instead of 150-200 and everything will be fine cause this one can easily make its money back although it wont make any significant profit.

I liked it quite a bit better than the first one. It does drag a little bit towards the end and it's nothing special, but I found the first to be a little boring and pretty unmemorable. Whereas this one was far more entertaining.

At least now Maleficent 2 made its money back. Everything from now on will be profit but it wont be much. It will be lucky if its hits $450 mil.

DOMESTIC (22%)
$85,240,391
INTERNATIONAL (78%)
$299,906,164
WORLDWIDE
$385,146,555

They can make a 3rd one with a smaller budget. The first two had budgets of $180 mil each.

 

[DarkKnight88]

They won’t make a third with such a low domestic gross, even with a lower budget.

DOMESTIC (23.1%)
$112,556,631
INTERNATIONAL (76.9%)
$372,173,409
WORLDWIDE
$484,730,040

They may decide to make a 3rd one after all.

Angelina Jolie is the perfect choice for Maleficent and the production design is awesome...but the story (of both movies) sucks hairy donkey balls af
