A reimagining of the 1959 Disney classic "Sleeping Beauty," first-time director Robert Stromberg's "Maleficent" attempts to wrap a children's fairy tale around a grown-up story of betrayal and revenge. Unfortunately, like the two warring kingdoms in the film, those themes prove to be bad neighbors. “Maleficent” is a decently entertaining but uneven movie that leaves both adult and child audiences wanting a little something more.
