After its release on Malificient 2, the narrative has received a significant amount of interest. Angelina Jolie's ferocity, beauty, and remarkableness have all intensified. I'm a fan of the idea that she turned to evil because she was in love with a man. This woman nailed it and left an impression on her audience for months.

I think her character in the second film was really reprised as she adapted a sort of newer and better version of herself as the Phoenix. Michele Pfiffer was amazing as per usual, and she added a great depth of meaning to the character in the second film. I wish they would have delved a little more into the history of her character which would've enhanced why she despised the “evil queen” for as long as she did. The scope of the story really helped the audience to seek out the true meaning behind her ways as they saw fit.
Angelina Jolie caught my attention in the movie Resident evil. More so her beauty is extraordinary. In Maleficent, Angelina acted like one of the best characters in Hollywood which she is. I like Angelina

In the second film, she gave the character a lot more depth and significance. I wish they had gone a little deeper into her character's backstory, which would have explained why she loved the "evil queen" for so long.

I loved both of the movies and Angelina Jolie was a huge part of this. She was phenomenal. The rest of the actors were also great and the script was very good too, though I felt the ending was a little too fast and would have enjoyed a few more scenes.

Angelina Jolie is such a Goddess. Leave it to her to make even Maleficent seem beautiful.

I loved both Maleficent movies. Angelina Jolie was fantastic in her role. Her portrayal and character became better and better the further one got into the movies.

I thought Angelina Jolie did amazing as her role as Maleficent. I can't imagine anyone else being able to capture her character and express the emotions and depth in that way.

I think that the she did a terrific job. I really liked her comeback and her metamorphosis into a better version of the character. Maleficent is although a much more romanticized cinematographical version of the original "Sleeping Beauty". A really bold move that the movie directors did was to cast Jolie for this role, as her beauty greatly contradicts the much more villainous and cruel character that what the film had in mind.

She's an amazing actress. She somehow managed to get better in the second film. Nobody could have played that role better than she did.
