Omg, if it wasn't for that raging lunatic at Rolling Stone who thinks that haggard puppet is a stealth-avantardist, it would have been reeeeed (below 50).
Like Tim Burton’s lacklustre Alice in Wonderland retelling/quasi-sequel, Maleficent is written by Linda Woolverton, entrusted with turning another jewel in the Disney collection on its head. Where Burton’s film saw a teenage Alice return to Wonderland, here it’s the villain who takes centre stage, rather than the more traditional Sleeping Beauty. And while on paper it sounds a like a fun idea, particularly when you have Jolie in your arsenal, in reality its all rather uninteresting. Maleficent, like all good villains, has her backstory that turns her evil, but it’s all very familiar, very tired.
Elle Fanning is given little to do than smile and laugh, and similarly Sam Riley, here portraying Maleficent’s “sidekick” is given just as rough a ride. Worse of all is Sharlto Copley, who after his impressive debut in District 9, is slowly becoming one of the miscast actors out there. His Scottish accent is atrocious (on a par with his awful Oldboy efforts), his acting as wooden as the trees that surround his castle, and is only undermined further by the horrid “off with their heads!” King role he finds himself in.
Maleficent certainly teeters very closely to the 12A certificate, rather than the awarded PG. Coming from Disney, this was never going to rate any higher, but the censors must have been close. Murder, war and a light dusting of “sexuality” are a few of the themes on show here, with two scenes in particular that will give parents food for thought before taking any under-7’s.
Random people are liking it. I'm sensing a Cinemascore in the As. A or A-. Maybe B+ because they ultimately make her sympathetic and that might throw some people off guard.
So MJ's new album will outsell Britney Jean worldwide next week (his 2nd week) and he's dead
Outsold by a corpse. The way God RUTHLESSLY punished Britney for abusing her children . First he took away her beauty and her youth. Then he took away her sanity. After that he took away her children. Then he took away her freedom and her rights. And finally he took away her success and erased her legacy.
I'd say he took away her talent but she never had any.

Just remembered that MJ just got a top 10 single too. Poor BRITNEY.
When her stans like to group her with MJ and Madonna as "royalty" as if she's of some sort of importance to the music industry
