It seems that “goddess of beauty” Angelina Jolie is not “suitable” for Disney, right?
“Beauty goddess” Angelina Jolie is one of the most strongly sought-after pink balls in Hollywood. With immense beauty and Oscar-winning acting, Angelina Jolie is the name that “guarantees” the quality and success of many big blockbusters. During her career, the female star has left her mark with many excellent films such as Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Mr. & Mrs. Smith or Salt.
However, in recent years, the career of this female star is in short supply of works that are recognized by professionals. In the last 4 times Angelina Jolie collaborated with Disney, there were 3 films that were badly criticized. The only movie that didn’t “get bricked” was the one she only participated in dubbing.
1. Maleficent was popular with the public but was rejected by experts, the “rotten tomato” score made everyone feel disgruntled!
One of the breakthrough and most prominent roles of Angelina Jolie’s career is Maleficent in Disney’s blockbuster of the same name. Bringing a new perspective on the life and mind of the evil fairy in the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty , Maleficent makes the audience fascinated by the content imbued with emotional and humanistic elements.
However, this work is not popular with experts, making many viewers difficult to understand, the current score is only 54% on Rotten Tomatoes. Vanity Fair commented that the film “has problems with storytelling”, while Times UK said “Angelina Jolie’s talent is wasted on this one-color character”.
2. Maleficent 2 captivated the fans, but the “bottomed” score was criticized by the experts too brutally!
Following the success of the blockbuster Maleficent , Disney has produced a second movie called Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. This work was not appreciated because the expanded content was considered “superfluous”. However, the film brought in a temporary revenue (nearly 500 million USD with a budget of 185 million USD) and still attracted the attention and love of the audience.
Maleficent 2 ‘s score on Rotten Tomatoes is 39% – one of the lowest numbers in Angelina Jolie’s career. Many major newspapers called this film a “disgusting” work.
3. The One and Only Ivan has a good record, “the flop is enough”, Angelina Jolie also only participated in the voiceover
In 2020, there was a work of Angelina Jolie that was released that no one knew about: The One and Only Ivan . Produced based on the children’s novel by writer KA Applegate, this film tells the story of a gorilla named Ivan who escapes from the circus and goes on a journey to find himself, with the help of his friends. other animal friends.
The One and Only Ivan was originally a theatrical work, but Disney later decided to release this movie online on the Disney+ system, making the work flop even more. In the film, Angelina Jolie voiced the character Stella – an elephant who is close to monkey Ivan. In addition, she also acted as a producer for the film.

The One and Only Ivan has a “temporary” score of 71% on Rotten Tomatoes. The film received mixed reviews, was nominated for an Oscar for special effects but did not win.
4. Eternals – the most anticipated Marvel blockbuster of the year, is receiving “storms” from public opinion, so there are all kinds of markets that you can see and love!
The blockbuster Eternals from Marvel, and also directed by the Oscar-winning Chloe Zhao, has made many people certain of the quality. However, when the first reviews of the film appeared, the audience was shocked. Eternals has become the movie with the lowest score in Marvel (and the number is still decreasing). Currently, the film is only rated 48% by critics. Angelina Jolie in the film was commented as “lighter than pale”. However, it seems that the audience is still quite “satisfied” with this blockbuster when scoring 84% with more than 2500 votes.
Not only having quality problems, Eternals also caused a lot of controversy related to gay details and hot scenes in the movie. For this same reason, the film was banned in some countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar after Disney refused to cut the same-sex kiss. In addition, director Chloe Zhao’s old statement seems to have prevented Eternals from being shown in China.
Thus, the relationship between Angelina Jolie and Disney can be seen as “cursed”. Even if the audience accepts it, the “green” numbers of rotten tomatoes also show that is it true that the female star is not really “matching” with the Mouse House?
