re: Oz the Great and Powerful (possible spoiler)

My expectations were a little higher for this movie than they should have been, but the trailer was so good, I couldn't help it. The movie, however, had few redeeming qualities whatsoever. It looked cool.....if you saw it in 3d. Too many scenes that required 3d to enjoy IMO. Other than that, it was abysmal. The china doll was the only decent actor in the whole thing. James Franco looked high and awkward the entire time, and ended up being nothing more than a man whore magician. Mila kunis looks good, but her character was on fast foward the entire time. Falls in love immediately, throws out the lifetime together card, and goes straight to wicked murderous witch after getting dumped, with no good reason as to why. Overall, 2/10, because it looked cool. Hell, avatar was better than this.

No, it wasn't. This was much more believable, and that's saying something.
I went and saw this Friday in 3D. I'm not particularly a Franco fan, and I didn't think he was great in the role. I do like that they tried to incorporate some of the books into this while also trying to make it a prequel to the film.
And that's the problem. The original is too ingrained in our heads with Judy Garland and musical numbers for this not to be compared to it. Hell, look how Return to Oz (another Disney movie) fared in our collective reviews.
When you watched the Wizard of Oz for the the first time, did you really worry about plotholes like the Wicked Witch of the West not offing the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion while they were walking? No, because it's a kid's movie for the most part.
This one is, too. The only difference is that we all have the original ingrained in our brains and approach movies with logic. Can't really have too much logic weighing you down when China people are alive and talking, flying monkeys wear bellhop uniforms, and a broken heart makes you turn into a acid-tear crying chick.
The movie was good for what it was. It wasn't Toy Story, but it certainly wasn't the Phantom Menace.
