Angelina Jolie's performance was fantastic, that and the visuals, and directing alone are enough to score this movie a high grade.
I am ambivalent towards some of the choices in scripting. Part of the novelty of Disney's first effort is the three good fairies being unconventional heroines. They squabble, and are silly yes, but in SB they facilitate every move the Prince makes, put the revision into Maleficent's curse that allows it to be broken and are just these badass matrons of a type you don't often see. Here they're purely comedic, and also very annoying.
But in it's place we get Jolie's Maleficent, so I guess that's a fair trade off.
