It's the only AJ film I've personally wanted to see since Girl Interrupted. It's definitely dark looking, which I LOVE. If my kids were younger I wouldn't take them, this is an older kids movie IMO.
Maleficent starring Angelina Jolie 'scaring away investors' as it is thought to be too horrifying for Disney movie-goers
Angelina Jolie's latest film, Maleficent, is so scary that it has got investors running scared that it will be a flop and cost Disney millions.
The 38-year-old actress plays the evil villainess from the Sleeping Beauty tale in her first major Hollywood role in four years.
But her portrayal in the dark fantasy film has turned off Wall Street money men.

Angelina has previously been box office gold but her latest starring role has Wall Street moneymen worried.
They are predicting that the pdsa90m film will not be a box office smash and might just recoup its costs.
With Angelina sporting enhanced high cheek bones and headgear with horns they are worried traditional Disney movie goers will find the film too frightening.
Disney has pitched the film, which opens on May 30, at young adults rather than their traditional fan base of children.

Wall Street investors predict that the film will force Disney into a write down which will lower the value of their company.
'It's definitely in the "not a sure thing" bucket,' said analyst David Bank.
Other Wall Street brokers in a circular sent to investment firms expressed doubt that the film would be a box office smash.
Angelina recruited her daughter Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, five, to star in her first major role as the young Aurora.

The beautiful brunette, who has six children with partner Brad Pitt, admitted that the portrayal of Disney's most famous villainess had scared her children.
She said she had to reassure them it was only make up when they visited the set at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire.
Speaking about the role Angelina said: 'She isn't the pretty princess. She isn't a beautiful queen. She's a very awkward, pointy, slightly scary-looking horned creature who goes through a lot in her life, as we discover.'

'I hope in the end you see a woman who is capable of being many things, and just because she protects herself and is aggressive, it doesnt mean she cant have other [warmer] qualities,' Angelina previously told Entertainment Weekly.
As a woman who is used to dividing opinion, Angelina was clearly attracted to taking on such a 'imperfect' character.
She said: 'It sounds really crazy to say that there will be something thats good for young girls in this, because it sounds like youre saying they should be a villain.
Magnificent Malificent: Angelina will next be seen as the evil queen in the Disney movie, due out May 30
'[Maleficent] is actually a great person. But shes not perfect. Shes far from perfect.
'In general, its a very good message to say, "Lets look at something from the other side."
'But then also, what our challenge will be - and the script writer [The Lion King and Alice in Wonderland's Linda Woolverton] has already cracked it - is not to simplify it, not to just reverse the story but tell a bigger story that doesnt point the finger [at Princess Aurora] either.'
Introducing: The movie will also star Angelina and Brad's daughter Vivienne, who was the only little girl not afraid of her mother's scary costume
The film tells the story of how Maleficent became evil after being betrayed by a child.
Moviegoers only know her character from the cartoon classic Sleeping Beauty while the new film explains how she became evil.
A spokesman for Disney was unavailable for comment.
