I was disappointed with the Aurora part of the flashback. Sure the flashback was to serve as a parallel to the main story, but still. Aurora gets that? Couldn't the writers had been more creative? Lets say all the flashback scenes are kept up until the Aurora point. As stated before, Sleeping Curses work if victim willingly accepts, but didn't apply here.

How it should've been done: So Maleficent enters the palace. She taunts Aurora and prepares to inject the Sleeping Curse. Aurora refuses. Maleficent poofs the parents in front of her. She threatens to kill the parents if Aurora refuses. Aurora accepts it, just to save them because she cares.

Seriously? I don't see how true love's kiss worked when Phillip kissed Aurora to wake her from the curse. It felt more of an arrange marriage type of thing in how the flashback of Aurora placed in a Sleeping Curse was handled... Unless I'm missing something.
