There are, apparently, quite a few ways of saying basically the same thing.

Angelina Jolie is magical in @Maleficent, but the rest of the movie lacks spark. Our review: http://t.co/vcQuXsOhwi pic.twitter.com/weiS7TOfVD

#Maleficent: Jolie dazzles w/ icy cold eyes & makes the most of a muddled story. But big biz here from mom demo & beyond.

Review: Angelina Jolie is excellent in "Maleficent" — but even she can't save it http://t.co/f9qhTPfXsG

She almost might have been designed in some special-effects shop to play Maleficent. And Rick Baker’s makeup artistry does her and the character proud, with curling, leathery horns and dark diagonal slashes on her cheekbones that sculpt her face into diamond-shaped severity. To the wolf eyes and Morticia Addams pallor, Jolie brings an imperious vocal styling with echoes of Bette Davis. (Eleanor Audley voiced Maleficent in the animated feature.) She is the visual, aural and behavioral embodiment of an otherworldly goddess capable of anything, from poisonous curses to surrogate-mother love.
