The film wastes little time setting the table in the first 1/3 of the film, but the middle act just sags and offers little in developing the characters beyond their plot device roots. The last act suffers from the saggy middle act, and comes to a somewhat soft conclusion for its intended teen audience.
I thought Sharlto Copley's whiny voice was a weak point in his presence in the film, and didn't really bring much to his role. Angelina Jolie is good in spots, but the script is somewhat clumsy in shoe-horning in the old familiar Malificent lines, so her delivery doesn't feel organic to the character.
I give it 2.5 stars, or a grade of C+.
