What I liked:
- The opening credits are the best that I have seen in a while.
- Great 3D effects.
- Finely might be the cutest flying monkey ever. I would watch a spin off film with him. Zach Braff voiced him well.
- The China Doll was adorable too. Also, another spin off that I would watch. Or perhaps an animated short.
- James Franco played the cad well.
- Mila Kunis and Rachel Weisz played sister witches well.
- It also stars Michelle Williams, Bill Cobbs, Joey King, Tony Cox, Abigail Spencer, and Bruce Campbell.
- They did well on the costume design.
What I didn't like:
- The story seemed old. If you want a fresh take on Oz, go see Broadway's Wicked.
- It's slow and kind of boring.
- It felt like Williams was drawing too much from her experience as Marilyn Monroe.
- Franco was a great cad but couldn't transform himself into a character that had heart or goodness.
- Spoiler Alert? Theodora turns into an evil witch because some guy broke her heart? Granted, she had some help from Evanora, but still. Not a great message.
