Recommendation:  C - Selectively Recommended

Grade: GT - Watch if you want to have a Good Time

Notes:

Undeniably a visual spectacle, it fails in terms of screenplay. It makes us ask why such a reinvention for the widely beloved classic fairy tale Sleeping Beauty. It appears that Angelina Jolie was cast to play as a cherry over wasabe. 

For your consideration:

• Costume Design
• Make-up
• Visual Effects
