Review of Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) by Scott N — 29 Nov 2013

Its a visual masterpiece, but its fails to deliver the emotional impact of The Wizard of Oz. James Franco give it his best shot, but he just never feels right for the part. While it is fun and interesting to learn the background of some of these characters it just feels wrong not to have certain elements from the original which I understand is due to legal reasons but its a constant reminder of what is missing from this film.

This is still a well meaning film but it will be forgotten long before the original one will be.
