Pretty adult film

Were you seeing it in 3D?

Sometimes 3D can make it darker. I watched it in Imax (non-3D) and didn't notice it being blurry or dark. The movie looked fantastic with all the different creatures. I really liked the other dark faeries and Maleficient's new lore. To me it was better and more balanced than the original and felt like a satisfying conclusion if we don't get a third one.

bullshit
it started off well enough but then went into the whole fairy tale ending bit - in fact, i'd say it's much worse than the original
peeps are fighting and killing each other one minute and the moment the queen is killed, they are hugging each other - WTF?

The darker the better for children to appreciate, I grew up on dark Russian fairytales about devils (old scratch) and terrfying witches, they were meant for children, not adults, there is a difference between dark and corrupted, in terms of morals.
