Carson P @Parkerdean 6d Thank god wicked exists because that was the true wizard of oz prequel we needed because this godawful mess with James Franco on the other hand ranks as me of the absolute worst with bad acting from almost everyone especially James Franco he was so unlikeable in the film he had no charisma at all and the color panterns are over saturated this is everything wrong with prequels and Sam raimi was the wrong choice to make it at least it was nice to see a film start out black and white then open to color that’s the only saving grace of this otherwise worthless film don’t bother with it and watch wicked duology instead See more Brigid P @Brigideliz Jan 31 The costuming is gorgeous. That's where my recommendation ends. Pretty to look at. See more Brandon K @TheKeizer Jan 31 A pretty fun modern take on the wizard of oz, I don't get the bad reviews, it's pretty good. See more rex w @RT11010153 Jan 24 James Franco was a bad choice to play the Wizard. He doesn't have enough acting skills. This still could have been really good with better direction and editing. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 23 Oz the Great and Powerful is far from a perfect companion piece to The Wizard of Oz, but it remains a surprisingly entertaining and visually engaging fantasy. The film succeeds most in its world-building, expanding the land of Oz with color, imagination, and spectacle that keeps the story engaging even when the narrative stumbles. Sam Raimi’s direction gives the film a playful tone, balancing whimsy with darker elements that hint at familiar origins. The screenplay is inconsistent. Certain plot beats feel underdeveloped, and giving the witches multiple names creates unnecessary confusion, weakening the mythology. Some story elements feel emotionally thin. James Franco brings charm to the role of Oz, while Mila Kunis delivers a solid performance despite questionable character choices. Michelle Williams adds warmth and grace, helping ground the story. Ultimately, while flawed, the film offers enough creativity and visual flair to make it a fun reimagining rather than a hollow retread.!
