Oz the Great and Powerful
Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)
6/10
Importance of Casting

Warning: Spoilers
OZ has its moments. The camera work at the beginning of the OZ's introduction to the Land of Oz, the banter of Zach Braff as Finley the monkey, and the capture of the colourful nature of the land of oz.

However, poor dialogue and awful casting decisions hold this film back. Mila Kunis was embarrassingly bad in this film. I have never noticed her in previous roles whether for the good or bad, but she so clearly does not belong in this picture. Franco has his moments, but seems aloof and disengaged through much of the film. Michelle Williams, Braff, and Weiss are the clear stars of this film.

Is it worth watching? Maybe, but definitely a rental.

Please don't see this movie
22 June 2009
I went into this movie hoping that Cera's dry sarcastic wit would be the redeeming quality of another predictable Jack Black performance. Though there were were a couple humorous moments, this movie was utterly unfunny. As has been said the only remotely funny moments are in the preview and to be honest, they came across as far less funny with the setup and delivery of the scene in context. This is not the Micheal Cera from Superbad, Juno or even Nick and Nora. He seems out of place and dominated by another over the top juvenile Jack Black performance.

Spare yourself.

I got a free screening and I still would like money back for my wasted time.
