With Maleficent: The Power of Evil, Joachim Rønning (co-director of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Revenge of Salazar) takes on the sequel to the famous tale revisited by Disney. This second opus, written by Linda Woolverton and Noah Harpster, plunges once again into the enchanting, tormented world of Maleficent, played by a fascinating Angelina Jolie. Elle Fanning reprises her role as Aurora, now ready to assume her destiny, while Harris Dickinson plays Prince Philippe. The film blends adventure and fantasy to reflect on unlikely alliances, family responsibilities and the struggle to protect a magical kingdom.
Maléfique : Le Pouvoir du Mal is currently available on Disney+ and will be broadcast on M6 on Friday, January 24 at 9:10pm.
Synopsis: Years after discovering why Disney's most famous villain was so hard-hearted and what led her to cast a terrible spell on Princess Aurora, "Maleficent: The Power of Evil" continues to explore the complex relationship between the witch and the future queen, as they forge new alliances and face new adversaries in their fight to protect their lands and the magical creatures that inhabit them.
Maléfique: Le Pouvoir du Mal targets a wide audience, from families to fans of fantasy stories. This second installment will particularly appeal to those who appreciate films combining grandiose visual effects and complex female characters, while deepening the relationship between Maleficent and Aurora. Themes linked to family, intergenerational conflicts and unexpected alliances enrich the story, adding a more mature dimension.
For viewers who have enjoyed sagas such as The Lord of the Rings or The World of Narnia, this film offers a similar experience, albeit centered on a more fairytale-like Disney universe. It also stands out for the addition of new characters and new threats, reinforcing immersion in this magical kingdom.
With Maleficent: The Power of Evil, Disney deepens the enchanting universe of the first film, offering a sequel rich in emotion, epic battles and universal themes such as family love and difficult choices. This film will appeal to both fans of revisited fairy tales and those in search of a visually captivating and emotionally engaging spectacle.
Our review of Maléfique: Le Pouvoir du Mal:
Maleficent: The Power of Evil is a much more accomplished film than the first installment, with Angelina Jolie far more invested and convincing in the role of the witch Maleficent, one of the most iconic villains in the Disney universe. The film is also much denser, with a steady pace and a more complex story.
The film is also much less watered-down, with hard-hitting scenes and a battle that will go down in the annals of Disney film history. The film's magnificent cinematography is also a real invitation to travel through lands each more magical than the last. So let's get out the horns and rush off to the cinema to discover the new adventures of Aurore and Maléfique, folks!
