MALEFICENT 2 is VISUALLY STUNNING! (Movie Commentary & Reaction) 

I know there’s a joke about not giving men mics but these men are an exception to that rule and probably my fav

One detail I really appreciated about these movies is Maleficent's magic is normally sparkly gold, her magic is only green when she's casting out of anger. I think it's a really nice way to highlight she's not evil she's just capable of doing bad things.

I also had a problem with this movie, I specifically didn't like the absolute massacre that seemed to have been brushed over in favor of a wedding THAT DAY. Like could they take a couple days to fix the place up, inform the people and mourn the dead first?? It looks good but the first was far better.

54:59 “yes mama gag those dilfs!” Highly unexpected but highly amusing. I cackled and replayed this over and over

I almost choked on my candy when you said the prince was like a thin slice of white bread😭😭

God I remember watching this movie in theaters, surrounded by kids, and being absolutely baffled to be watching a literal church massacre ethnic cleansing scene. The first movie already tackled unexpectedly dark topics, but they really went, uhh... all out with the fantasy racism in this one.

I was wondering if you guys would be interested in "But I'm a Cheerleader" ? It's one of my favorite movies, and I'm very interested to see what you guys would think of it. ( Sam's hair is coming in nice, too :D )

For the spindle since it was rebuilt by magic it is now a magical item, so while the curse on Aurora was broken the magic still remained. So unless it's destroyed like it was later you could curse as many people as you want😈.

I think a point could be made that Aurora grew up very sheltered, she has had minimal contact with humans overall having left her father's castle in the hands of the people there it doesn't appear that she hung around it at all, so her being manipulated by the Queen makes alittle more sense because Aurora is so naive

Aurora and Maleficent really just dropped each other after one fight (that wasn't between them) and about 24 hours of time. THIS is suppose to be the example of true (non romantic/family) love??

I think that Auroa (I butchered that) personal curse is broken, but cursed items remain cursed unless that item has been destroyed by the caster or something more powerful. And sense it’s still active ,she was still slightly connected to it.

"warming up... to what... having a personality." When I tell you I gasped because it was so true

"gag those dilfs" I choked lmaO

"you would think diaval would be a little bit iffy about that." maybe in bird culture its okay to wear the skulls of your best friend/ boyfriend / servant's enemies?

turning the white queen into a goat makes her eat grass also :) that’s a good take from her meet-based menu in the dining scene

You should watch Enchanted, it's one of the best Disney live-action!! Also the referencing to other Disney works is so much fun, the music is light, it's just great :))))

Pinto literally owns my heart. One of my fav characters in this series🥹🫶🏻

“Don’t worry you’re straight. It’s okay” 🤣☠️

“I’ve been waiting on this one... TURN IT UP!!!”

The way they designed the wings in this movie is STUNNING if you could choose to be any fantasy creature I would definitely choose dark fey there so beautiful and there life seems a bit more interesting than the average humans life.

You guys could give The Mitchells vs. the Machines a try it's an animated movie

me: "eh that character is fine, i guess" devil's spawn : *tries to pronounce Maleficent* me: "kill it! kill it with fire!"

OK, am I the only one wondering if Aurora and Philip are cousins? The queen's brother was sent to the moor, but thought he should be allowed to steal and maleficent found a boy stealing from the moor and escorted him back out. They'd be around the right age.

i think the antagonist's ubplot it a bit overdone but i kinda love it as a potential explanation in all of those types of fantasy where you show magical stuff happen in ye olde non-specific past but it's explicitely told to have happened in our universe

Well, stainless steel is iron and quite a common material for cutlery but royalty would probably use silver cutlery.

*u guys referencing the proposal* me: OMG I KNOW THAT ONE !!! I WATCHED THE VIDEO LIKE 100 TIMES srsly made my day

Of all the jokes you guys made im surprised you didnt comment on the "ill see you at the christening" line with is actually so raunchy if you know the history of royal weddings 🤣🤣

I was waiting for this ❤️ not ashamed to admit that I cried with this one even with the whole phoenix thing foreshadowing everything 😂 Not as iconic as the first one, but still it's one of my favourite sequels nonetheless.

For me the problem of "tolerance" is that it is never understood. "Acceptance" is more like I am cool with everything and I invite you in, and that's amazing, but with tolerance is like I can be against something that you do or not agree with you in something, but I'm cool with you anyway and I just let you be and that's fucking beautiful.

Thank the gods I'm not the only one who made a joke about Sonic the hedgehog when that little spiky guy started playing with her golden ring crown. I was just giggling in the theatre. "His only job is to stand here and look pretty - and he's *failing* at it" I mean... you're not wrong. His only function in the story is being on hand in case they need to use his fivehead for a powerpoint presentation. I still ship Maleficent & Diaval; I can't help it. I was side eyeing Ed Skrein, just going, "step off, Francis. She's taken."

These movies are so fun and I loved that y’all watched them! If you liked Michelle in the evil role I think y’all would enjoy Stardust!! I’d be surprised if neither of y’all seen it but just in case it has an amazing, well known cast and is also magical

Bruh I won't lie I cried my eyes out when the Blue fairy Sacrifice herself 💙

Have you guys reacted to parent trap yet?

Bi Stef is my favourite Stef :D

I LIVE for these consistent updates 🙌

You two should check out... Stardust 07' I think you'll enjoy it. I love Michelle Phifer.

I completely agree that this sequel packed too much story into it, which made some things not really get developed enough or get the focus it deserved. That was my main issue with this one.

55:05 omg apart of the lgbts? Yas

I can’t even watch the reaction after you guys used the “Look over there meme” when referring to her proposal. Jaida Essence Hall has made it into my favorite reaction channel😍

I've never been so early!

why did they recast philip? he was so pretty ;-;

I use recently found u guys and u are so funny. I love your chats😂

The recasting of Philip threw me out of the movie 😂😂😂 Edit: misspelling lol

ugh yes i've been waiting for this

Please react to "Get out" the movie☺️🙏

I would absolutely love to see you guys react to Sonic 2 sound too specifically. I actually saw it in theaters for shits and giggles. And I was absolutely blown away by the quality. Like the cinematography the animation the editing like the characters are done so well and it.. Like I'm literally speechless because it's fucking Sonic 2. For a little bit more context I'm 19 and I've already graduated high school and I've also graduated from technical school for audio visual productions. Like it's so unnecessarily good because it's fucking Sonic 2. The level of quality to the special effects reminds me of avengers endgame. Like it's literally endgame level

Wait I’m sorry- Stef, are you not straight?

Petition for Angelina Jolie and Elle Fanning (plus Dakota Fanning) to always have British Accents. And I'm british. They sound so good 🥺🥺🥺

YAAAAY!

Pinto is a car, it's a breed of horse, it's a bean... they're are many things a 'pinto' is. lol

11:31 she's dakota's older sister

@themoviebudz, Im living for all the Drag Race references sprinkled through your videos lately. Which one of you has started to watch drag race

Warming up to have a personality ... I was laughing... best!

Hurray new video :)

I wonder what you’d think of 2019 version of Charlie’s angels. I feel like people don’t like it because it doesn’t follow the sex appeal the others did which is the only reason ppl watched

I don't know if y'all watched tinkerbell. It I think pinto gives off thistle energy and those definitely also trigger that feeling

I've never seen you guys be so savage, and I love it 🧚🏼‍♀️ P.S. Dival (no idea if I'm spelling that correctly), really dropped the f**king ball by so eagerly going to the wedding, and not considering that the invitation that was extended to all the creatures of the Moors was a little bit f**king suss. He didn't even look for Maleficent! C'mon, guys. Wise up. P.P.S. Perhaps the fairies just turn into oxygen, because they're living, breathing magic? I don't know. I want them to explode into feathers, or stars 🤷🏻‍♀️ I have simple expectations

You guys should react to Pan's Labyrinth if you haven't already seen it.

I know you both have probably seen it but will you react to Fight Club? Would love to hear your commentary on the film

This was brilliant 🤩

yaaay Im here :D

Philip is a literal green flag omfg I want a guy like him 😭💟

Can you guys watch Snow White and the Huntsman and its Sequel The Huntsman Winter's War I love these movies especially the sequel. I'd love to know your thoughts. They are super bad-ass films.

I kinda hate aurora in this movie lol

I realy lovee This one💖✨

keeping up these drag race ref i love seeing them here

I know you guys don't like Pinto but I think she's adorable!

3:29- People didn't know the truth about Maleficent because a certain individual was telling lies and people believed the lie. 6:36- Really? You don't know Prince Philip from the original film? Hell, Cinderella and Snow White's princes had names too that people were too dim-witted or lazy to look up.(Their names are Henry and Florian by the way) Funny how people mock Disney classics so much they miss certain details in the story.

I just don't understand why in the dinner scene Aurora didn't speak up more in Maleficent's defense. Literally Philip said more to try to counter what his mother was saying than her own adopted daughter did.

I said it once, I'll say it again: this movie would have been better as a show. There are extremly interesting story beats in here, and interesting world building. But the limiting run time shoots it in the legs. They introduce so many interesting characters, especially the three dark Fai. (The snowl owl one even had he reocuring theme with taking care of children, which later lead into him saving those human children.) But we barely get the time to spend time with them, to the point where I can't rember their names for the live of me! That's just wasted potential! This story would have done so well as a mini series to explore all the things introduced!

just wanted to take a minute to say i really appreciate your guys’ commentaries, from stupid jokes to amazing analysis and questions! this has become my comfort channel, especially going to sleep to help myself and my mind relax. i seriously thank y’all for always putting out amazing content that helps myself and others in different ways! keep doing you, guys!

1:04:51 Maleficent telling him to pull himself together was so much funnier considering he was more hands on in raising Aurora as a child. Feeding her, protecting her from harm, etc.

Okay how is NO ONE talking about what Stef said at 55:00 😂 That statement and Sams reaction to it made my freaking day golden 🤣

I just love that you’re both shredding the prince to pieces.

A few things. First, I think Phillip is one if my favorite live action princes because a) they dated for five years before they got engaged, b) is respectful towards Malificient and Aurora and wants what is best for them, c) loves his parents which explains why he is blindsided because they were the people that raised him, and d) fought for them in the end. Second: i respect how dark they went with the story to show how far hate can go. But the massacre scene was really hard to watch. The pink dust just obliterating dozens of the fae in one shot gave me fictional PTSD. I can’t imagine. I was also freaked out by the lieutenant looking like she was having an orgasm when playing the death organ. Every kill was orgasmic to her. That creeped me out. And of course, them stealing the fae’s dead bothered me and everyone. Third, I loved how they were able to create one huge biodome with a bunch of ecosystems. It was fun seeing many environments and aesthetics that each fairy had. My favorite are the tropical ones because their wings were vivid and vibrant and bright.

Obviously, "Mistress of Evil" in this movie referred to the Queen and all her plotting, but I always saw this movie as "The weaponization of science vs. The wonders of nature," but that is really vague.

Idk but um somehow the Prince slander was just beautiful to me lol. Your guys commentary never ceases to make me laugh.

One thing I just noticed is the disappointed and shook look on Diavol's face when Aurora tells Maleficent to cover her horns.....shows he really does care for her feelings when being told to hide who she is.

I'm not really a Maleficent fan, but the fact that Aurora and Maleficent's bond was broken so easily was uniquely frustrating for me.

The dinner scene with the cat always makes me kinda feel wholesome. I think it gives an idea of how important Diaval is for both Mal and Aurora. They could've left him as surveillance but no, Aurora invited him to go to dinner with e/o's guardians bc she recognizes that he played a big role in her childhood and well-being, Mal took his suggestions without remarks bc she trusts him enough that she knew he won't make a fool out of her. And with that cat scene, Mal showed how she won't just sit there while Diaval is constantly annoyed by a cat, she _will_ fuck you up even if it's just your pet that fucks with him. (Not even adding the fact that they were served birds, with Mal's wings out in the open and Diaval being a literal bird, even if they didn't know that part. You're telling me they didn't have any beef?? Pork?? Also, I _do_ think she knew about Diaval being a bird, they let a cat in, which will feed on birds if they can, and the bird meat, again.)

My biggest problem with this film is how quickly everyone moves on. You've just had dozens of people die, on *both* sides, and now you're just going to sit down at a wedding and be HAPPY? My god, they just murdered your best friend, potentially! Edit: 1:04:25 okay so you guys do mention it, thank god XD

I enjoy Elle Fanning's acting SO MUCH MORE when she does an English accent than when she uses her own. It's very odd. She's charming either way! But when she does American she tends to sound like she has a cold. :(

"dont worry you're straight" skadjskak I almost died laughing

"yas mama, gag those dilfs!!" "what-" "dont worry youre straight" *pat pat*😭😭

I agree that the movie had a lot of potential and good storylines but should've probably been a mini series instead

I think the reason they could still use the curse in this one is because the curse wasn’t broken in the sense that it would never happen again it’s just that the curse was “fulfilled” like the terms were met: 16th birthday, prick finger, sleep like death, kiss wakes her up. And the reason that they give for her “not doing it before” (it being breaking the curse) I think is that she now has the power of the phoenix in her so she can once and for all break the curse. Remember the “no power on earth can change it” part of the curse phrasing? The power to break it wasn’t technically able to be on earth yet, it had to be transferred/realized in her!! Like I know it’s convoluted but that’s just what makes this movie so cool if you look deep enough

Great commentary! Here are my thoughts: the visual aesthetics of this movie are way better than the first and feel more in line with the world created by Eyvind Earle for Sleeping Beauty (my favorite of the Disney animated classics). I really appreciate the way the plot challenges the relationship between Maleficent and Aurora, and how it also focuses on the love between Aurora and Philip this time around. The building rivalry between the fairy and human worlds is gripping and suspenseful and the battle doesn't sugarcoat the devastating costs of war, which was something that both surprised and impressed me for a Disney movie. However, my 2 big complaints are that Michelle Pfeiffer really "phoned it in" as Queen Ingrith and Aurora and Phillip's wedding shouldn't have been held immediately after the big fight. Overall I liked the movie better than the first one, though.

"Don't worry, you're straight, you don't have to understand" absolutely killed me 🤣🤣🤣

Angelina is having so much fun and so am I.

This was just a roast And this is what this movie deserved

Y’all were brutal with the commentary…I LOVED IT!! More please 😂🤣

I loved this movie! Great reaction guys! Ever thought of doing 'Cruella'? That movie was brilliant!

Would you guys consider watching Uptown Girls?? It's a classic with Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning. Love your commentaries they make my day ty :)

I'm watching your reaction now and I don't know if you know this, but "Lickspittle", the elf without wings is played by the actor Warwick Davis. He also played Professor Flitwick (from the beginning) and the Goblin Griphook (only in the last one) in Harry Potter :D

ik its a wedding but the fact that theres probably dead bodies everywhere bc of the very real battle that took place literally 3 seconds before amuses me, like ya'll couldn't have waited a week maybe for everyone to heal 😭

Why the heck did they let child Maleficent stay alone on the surface? When apparently they could have saved her at any time? I assume they just didnt know about her but they never make that explicit, she never asks

I like how they went for the music thing for the genocide of the fairies, because it’s very well known that in WW2 they told the prisoners in concentration camps that they were going to give them a shower, but end up poisoning them with gas

I also didn’t like that they decided to get married while probably dead bodies are still laying around XD

So the only person truly gone is the black guy?

Maleficent never broke the curse,only the spell on AURORA but the spinning wheel was still cursed,thats why the Queen could use It again
