[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took my 15 year old to see it, and I absolutely loved it.  And I'm not a Jolie fan.  With that said, there were numerous kids there under 9 years.  They were also well-behaved but that may have been because they were either mesmerized or scared.  We saw it in 3-D.

There are intense moments, though.  I'm no critic but I think Johnny Depp would have made a better king.  I've read differing critics opinions, thumbs up and down.  What they forget is that it's a Disney movie and not a foreign film.

If your kids might get scared, I might forego the 3-D.[/quote]

So, the NYT review seemed to suggest that Maleficant's theme is older women envy young girls and seek to destroy them.  As I recall "Tangled" also hinted at this.  I'd be interested in your take as the mom of a teen girl, PP.[/quote]

The NYT is wrong.  Dead wrong.  In so many ways, wrong.[/quote]

Actually, the NYT does not say this - simple reading comp - the NYT says, in fact, the exact opposite:  "[Maleficent] does so by suggesting, among other things, that [b]budding girls and older women are not natural foes[/b], even if that’s what fairy tales, Hollywood and the world like to tell us. And while that may sound drippy, it’s exactly the kind of hokey that, movie by movie, may finally make a real difference.[/quote]
