I'll be honest I find most live action disney movies to be awful. I'm scarred for life from seeing Gaston sing that tavern song live action. Just...

Disney does great animated movies. And I don't know if they still do it, but the stingy f*cks used to only sell copies of the movies at certain times.

And they're squeezing every last drop out of Star Wars they can.

I'm with Leech on this one: I enjoyed the first. More power to you if you didn't of course, but the "Maleficent got done wrong, but now lets focus on softening her back up with a mother-to-daughter care and love relationship with Aurora" angle was a good way to handle the plot.
As far as I remember, it was the first of these live-action remakes of Disney's, no? I own it on Blu-ray (mainly for the kiddos now), and I'll prolly take my daughter to go see it.
- Maleficent: B. Jolie did a great job, Elle Fanning did well in her role as Aurora, and the effects were on point. A few gorgeous shots here-and-there.
- Cinderella: Didn't see it, heard it was pretty good. Kenneth Branagh directed so it can't be that bad.
- The Jungle Book: A, if not an A+. Far superior to the original animated Disney classic IMO. INCREDIBLE special effects and visuals, the actor for Mowgli did great considering he was having to emote through a blue/green screen jungle gym, and Bill Murray as Baloo was too good to be true.
- Beauty and the Beast: C, maybe C-. Bill Condon and the crew recreated the world of Belle's France with some beauty (costumes especially), but no soul. And even at that, Gaston's pub looked lackluster and the backgrounds looked way too fake. It's serviceable, but should have been the gold standard for the live-action stuff just as BatB 1991 is for Disney's animation.
- Pete's Dragon: Haven't seen it, but the kids like it quite a bit .
- Dumbo: Can't be anything but solid. Tim Burton, Michael Keaton, and Danny DeVito re-uniting for the first time since Batman Returns should've been a high mark for this year in cinema, but the Captain Marvel-Endgame one-two combo hurt it (and Shazam!) IMO.
We'll see about Maleficent 2, Aladdin, and The Lion King.
I watched this the other day. Although it took 3 attempts because I kept falling asleep, heh.
It struck me as a little wackier and more whimsical than the first, but I guess that's to be expected. I suppose it's about as entertaining as the first one. Definitely a visual spectacle.
