By Claudia Puig (2,080) for USA Today (4,117) on 06 Mar 2013

The new spinoff from L. Frank Baum's 1900 children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz may not be great, exactly, but it is powerfully entertaining…

Review of Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)

By Phil Villarreal (1,289) for COED.com (65) on 06 Mar 2013

As awful as the movie is, at least there is one truth that it gets just right. Witches be crazy…

Review of Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)

By Rex Reed (1,506) for New York Observer (1,400) on 06 Mar 2013

Nothing in it comes close to the magic, the originality or the everlasting entertainment value of the original, which only cost $2.777 million…

Review of Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)

By Chris Nashawaty (734) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 06 Mar 2013

The film is stuffed with three endings too many. You can't blame Raimi for wanting to give us our money's worth…

Review of Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)

By Joe Lozito (463) for Big Picture Big Sound (482) on 06 Mar 2013

Making a prequel to The Wizard of Oz takes courage and brains. This one's got a little of both, but most of all it has heart…

Review of Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)

By Matt Patches (283) for Hollywood.com (1,014) on 06 Mar 2013

Successfully drowns James Franco in imagination…

By Caryn James (352) for James on screenS (89) on 06 Mar 2013

This Oz doesn't have much heart or wonder, but with appealing characters, terrific actors and colorful action, it's an entertaining fantasy…

Review of Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)

By Damon Smith (31) for Birmingham Post (543) on 06 Mar 2013

Warmth and charm have almost been sucked dry from this incarnation of Oz and performances are muted, especially Franco, who bumbles through…

Review of Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)

By Chris Bumbray (988) for JoBlo's Movie Emporium (1,959) on 06 Mar 2013

Great visuals, but Franco is miscast as a silver-tongued huckster. The story is also fairly blah…

Review of Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)

By David Sztypuljak (18) for HeyUGuys (1,461) on 05 Mar 2013

This in no way will tarnish the memory of the original, and for the most part it's a hugely enjoyable return to Oz…

Review of Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)

By Scott Foundas (913) for Village Voice (8,525) on 05 Mar 2013

Oz tilts towards the mawkish, as the sham wizard learns the value of selflessness and an incessant Danny Elfman score tugs so shamelessly at…

Review of Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)

By Calum Marsh (242) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 05 Mar 2013

An amorphous melange of ill-fitting reference points and misappropriated aesthetics, a lumbering family blockbuster both tiresome and wholly…

By Cameron Meier (130) for Orlando Weekly (1,048) on 05 Mar 2013

Dorothy was right: There's no place like home…

Review of Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)

By Guy Lodge (731) for Time Out (7,510) on 05 Mar 2013

What it lacks, rather like Oscar himself, is any authentic magic: the script's post-'Shrek' wisecracks feel especially out of place, and the…

Review of Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)

By Alonso Duralde (1,351) for TheWrap (3,203) on 05 Mar 2013

Rather than tell us that everything we know about Oz is wrong, the filmmakers take what we already know about the wonderful wizard and thread…

Review of Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Movie Nation (3,875) on 05 Mar 2013

By Staci Layne Wilson (667) for Yahoo! Movies (43) on 05 Mar 2013
