We have the human kingdom led by King Stefan (Sharlto Copley) and the fairy kingdom in the Moors protected by Maleficent (Angelina Jolie). The two used to be childhood friends, then lovers before things turned sour. In his ambition to be king, Stefan drugged Maleficent and sliced off her wings as proof of her death. Maleficent was so incensed by the betrayal that she transformed from cheeful fairy to spiteful "witch" overnight. On Princess Aurora's (Elle Fanning) christening day, she put a curse on her that can only be broken by true love's kiss. Through the years, she spied on Aurora, and started to accept her. When she fell asleep on her 16th birthday, Maleficent simply gave her a true love's kiss, which promptly woke her up. Aurora freed Maleficent's wings from their shackles, and Maleficent is whole again. Big fight between Maleficent and King Stefan, and his men with her dragon, where King Stefan fell to his death. Maleficent takes Aurora to the Moors to rule the fairy kingdom.
The trailer and soundtrack made the movie look scarier and spookier than it is. I found it a bit boring.
