I know. Maleficent basically has it all: she's scary, she's cool, she's over-the-top, she's refined and intimidating, she's elegant and fearsome, and she has Eleanor Audley's voice. She has presence, and a lot of that has to do with how you only see bits and pieces of her.

I can't see Jolie pulling off intimidating elegance at all. I can't see her flying into rages and shooting lightning but also being sweetly mocking to heroic princes.

And her costume looks stupid.
