"I don't want to be a good man... I want to be a great one."

With Tim Burton's high-tech reworking of Alice in Wonderland having grossed a substantial sum back in 2010, it was only a matter of time before another famous literary property was given a big-budget update. The result is 2013's Oz the Great and Powerful, which is posited as a prequel to the 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz. ... read more

Franco? Kunis? Weisz?! Williams?!? Raimi? How did it all go so extremely wrong? The perpetually moving follow up to the magical 1939 film falls so flat that even though there are many call backs (and set ups) to the original, it is hard to draw any actual connection between the two. Thematically it fails, scenically it fails, structurally it fails, atmospherically it fails, characterization it fai... read more

It’s a folly of spectacular proportions to try and recapture the magic of L. Frank Baum’s texts. MGM’s lavish and beloved musical is a milestone of special effects and makeup while simultaneously being a perfect example of big budget (musical) entertainment operating at the highest level. Any and every endeavor to recapture it has only ended in diminished artistic returns or lack of audience... read more

The not so great and powerful Oz

“Warning: Spoilers

I love anything to do with The Wizard of Oz. The story is a classic, and the 1939 Judy Garland film is for me one of the best films ever made. And I liked the idea of having a prequel to this story, and Oz the Great and Powerful had potential to be great in the right hands. I was kind of intrepid though as well because I heard a lot of bad things about it, and while it was not as bad as I'd heard it was a disappointment. And this was including me taking into account that it is a family movie and that any film should be judged on its own merits.

Oz the Great and Powerful does have a fair few things that redeem it. I loved the visuals, I thought on seeing the trailer that they looked amazing and on seeing the film itself I still stand by that. The colour” read more
