how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 109 comments (78 from Reddit, 27 from Metacritic, 4 from TMDB reviews) — 34 of them described how it moves.
💀 flatline — One note, start to finish. Hard going most of the way through. It tightens hardest around the middle.

“it just made what was probably supposed to be an 'epic' final battle scene very tame and uneventful”

“And after how dark all the deaths in the movie were I'm surprised the evil queen got a Disney Channel Original Movie ending and was turned into a goat.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“After a run of live-action Disney remakes that mostly play things safe, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is a much needed swing-for-the-fences dose of originality. It doesn’t always hit it out of the park, but it’s wickedly fun to watch it try.”
Caroline Siede, The Verge · 76
“Jolie’s magnetism, plus the way she toes the line between being a fairy version of Batman and a menacing mistress of not-quite-evil-but-pretty-close, is why these “Maleficent” movies work. She fits the character as well as her endless cycle of evolving costumes.”
Brian Truitt, USA Today · 75
“Mistress of Evil is an entertaining thrill ride with a sly sense of humor and some admirable albeit obvious political and social commentary, with messages along the lines of, “It doesn’t matter where you come from, it matters who you love.””
Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times · 75
“Impressive visuals and a very watchable cast make this a fun popcorn fantasy flick that's at its best when it leans into its genre roots and aims to create a truly fantastical fairytale world.”
Rosie Knight, IGN · 70
“For kids maybe this is still magical; grownups, though, will waste many long, busily bedazzled minutes wondering why the powers that were able to bring Pfeiffer and Jolie together on screen couldn’t do at least marginally better by them both, and give them parts to truly sink their movie-star teeth into.”

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
