What if Sleeping Beauty never woke up when Prince Philip kissed her? What if Maleficent wasn't entirely defeated when the Prince killed her in her dragon form?
As much as I wanted to like this one, I found I was bored more often than not. None of the characters sounded remotely like themselves (not that the author had much to work with, Aurora only has something like 16 lines of dialogue in the whole movie), to the point of distraction. Everyone sounded far too modern and casual to be believable and I honestly hated the whole "this entire thing takes place in a dreamscape" plotline. And I couldn't stand Aurora's constant wishy-washiness. One moment she's a strong heroine, the next she's simpering over the two realties that exist in her head - the ones Maleficent planted in the dreamscape and the real world ones where she lived with the fairies in the forest.
