I could have done without the humanizing backstory.

My favorite thing about Maleficent is that she's just evil. Maleficent, for me, destroyed that. If I'd never seen Sleeping Beauty, I might have enjoyed the movie. As it is, it's a good movie if you choose not to connect it to the animated film, which is how I'm treating it :D
