Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)

I honestly don't know what to think about this. On the one hand: Sam Raimi, awesome. On the same hand: Wizard of Oz, pretty cool. On the other hand, I mean... original story connected to the Oz series? I dunno about that. If you want to make an Oz series, I say do a straight adaption of the first movie, follow up with the rest of the books (combining them where possible) and see if you can make it the next Harry Potter ("next" isn't really the right word, since the Oz books are 100 years older, but....).

I like that they're keeping with a lot of the classic movie's designs. Trailer will really be the big decider for me.

Looks alright.

Again, I feel MEH.

The new Alice In Wonderland had great art. Turd festo.

And I think the play Wicked summed in up nice.

It's like the hardcore version of shit The Dark Knight spawned. Do we need it?

-HECK!

The Emerald City seems awful Phallic in nature....

Saw a trailer for this in front of How The Dark Knight Got His Groove Back.

Still, reminds me of the Alice in Wonderland remake. All CGI crapola.

And James Franco has the same expression always.

-HECK!

He is James Franco, you're forgetting.

I thought this was quite a good film when I saw it. Wouldn't call it great but I enjoyed it well enough. It must have been relatively successful because a sequel's in the works apparently

I liked it. It was what it was. It's not the sort of film you go into thinking it's going to be Schlinder's List. It was very pretty and an OK way to pass a couple of hours. I could watch James Franco do just about anything though, so there's that.
