Set to open in the $25 million range, Disney's latest movie "Maleficent" premiered on Wednesday with lead star Angelina Jolie and soon-to-be husband Brad Pitt in attendance. One of the many movies set to open this summer, the film has a strong shot of $60 million in its domestic launch but "fails to live up to its early promise," according to USA Today.

Best known as the untold story of a dark witch from the 1959 animated Disney movie "Sleeping Beauty," the dark fantasy adventure film was written by Linda Woolverton and directed by Robert Stromberg. Featuring the perspective of the antagonist, Maleficent, the movie receive a lot of mix reviews and currently holds a 56% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 25 reviews.

"Its cobbled-together plot meanders more than a stroll through an enchanted forest, presumably the result of a few too many rewrites," USA Today reports. "The scenery is vividly rendered, with tree creatures reminiscent of The Lord of the Rings and winged characters resembling those in Pan's Labyrinth. But Maleficent doesn't come close to the escapist magic of either film."

After the box office Disney hit "Frozen," the movie is in a lot of pressure and aims to target girls and moms and their families, considering the many male-skewing tentpoles in the movies today ("X-Men: Days of Future Past," "Godzilla," "Million Ways to Die" and "The Amazing Spider-Man 2").

According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Maleficent" will not match the two Disney movies success. "Alice in Wonderland" earned a whopping $116 million debut in March 2010 and the $79.1 million opening of "OZ the Great and Powerful" in March 2013.

"Yet the story twists its characters tortuously, and loses sight of its audience early on," a review posted on nj.com. "The direction by Robert Stromberg is an immediate mess. A long-time special-effects whiz making his filmmaking debut, he crowds every scene with gimmickry; the opening CGI landscapes are so overdone they look like bad cartoons."

Although this is a PG-13 movie, parents have to guide their children while watching the movie for it features some scenes that could fill a "Hobbit" movie.
