I honestly don't see what the appeal of Maleficent is to people. I mean, it looks like they just ripped-off all of the best fight scenes from Lord of the Rings! And actually, since Maleficent herself turns into a dragon, I guess they gave The Hobbit the same treatment as well. The ironic thing is, Lord of the Rings is FAR more interesting than the story of some lady who's generally a ***** (but she's just misunderstooooooood!!!) and is also a dragon.
That, and I fail to see how a platoon of men with pointy sticks can take on an army of ents. I already saw how that turned out in The Two Towers, and it should logically end the same way! And the ents have a fire breathing dragon! I'm predicting that they're just going to pull the "humans win because humans" card, which makes me even less willing to see the movie. I think the only people who are going to this is are families, since the PG rating allows parents to take their little angels to see some PG violence and have a happy ending where the heroic humans triumph over the much cooler opposing force and devil-dragon.
