Jackson W. @RT13238980 4d The witch scares me and that movie is so confusing to understand See more Blake- N @PBSAniDom Apr 9 Oz the Great and Powerful is a decent and visually impressive entry into the Wizard of Oz universe, even if it doesn’t fully reach its magical potential. The film shines the most in its stunning visuals and colorful world-building, which really capture the wonder of Oz in a way that feels larger than life. James Franco delivers a solid performance as the flawed magician who slowly grows into a more responsible figure, and the supporting characters—especially the witches—add charm and personality to the story. The movie does a good job of expanding the mythology of Oz, giving us a fresh prequel-style perspective. However, the story can feel a bit predictable and the emotional depth doesn’t always hit as hard as it should. Some pacing issues also hold it back from being truly great. Overall, it’s an enjoyable fantasy adventure that looks fantastic, even if it lacks strong storytelling depth. A solid 6/10.

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.
