I despise this film. I thought the actors did a great job with what they were given, and the film is visually stunning. However, the story itself is terrible. I have always said that if you have to demonize other characters to make the re-telling work, then you're telling the wrong story. And it took demonizing King Stefan, making the queen a complete non-entity, and turning the three good fairies (one of whom, Merryweather, was my childhood hero) into complete idiots to make the story work. It didn't work for me at all. I would have much preferred an entire tale of Maleficent *before* Sleeping Beauty. Tell me about her entire life. Don't tell me the tale of Sleeping Beauty from a different point of view. I found the film poor because of it.
