I saw the previews and it looked stupid! Did anybody see this? If so how about a review?

I took my 6 year old to see it. It was just okay... Started out too slow and then dragged on.

The premise of the movie was cool - precursor to the wizard of oz, but all in all,not worth going to see. Just my opinion...

There is already talk of a sequel, so it had to do pretty good Box Office wise...

It was okay. My 7 year old was asking "Is it almost over?" towards the end, as were other kids around me.

It's not anywhere near as charming or lighthearted as the original obviously. It's like a Tim Burton version. They tied into the original in some cool ways tho. I'd say it's worth seeing if you're a fan of the original, but no rush. Blu ray would be just fine. If you are going to see it in a theater, I wouldn't pay the extra for IMAX or 3D. The 3D was pretty much non-existent except for a couple of "BOO!!" moments that were filmed just for the 3D effect.

My BIGGEST gripe is the fact they blatantly give away the "twist" in the first minute of the opening credits. WHY they added that not-so-little Easter egg is mind boggling.

I'm not recommending that folks go see it but IDK that the extra couple bucks for 3D wasn't worth it. All of the movies now offer subtle depth as not to give you a headache. I thought the 3D was done well. There were a dozen times or so that it "jumped out at you", but the visual depth of the screen was well presented.

Howard should be happy. I kinda look at him as the Wizard from the original movie.

It has Mila Kunis and Michelle Williams, so Dad dragged the little shits to see them. Dad hoped to have some new rub-out material.

BTW it grossed $70M overseas in addition to the $80M in the U.S.

You couldn't be more wrong. Mila Clitoris is fucking weak. I wanted to take my son to see the Jack and the Bean Stalk one but was over ruled by the wife.

Those women (Rachel Weisz excluded, she's gorgeous) do zero for me as well.

You mean Michelle Williams didn't get undressed and show off her deflated flapjacks and stretch marks?

She does it in every other movie she stars in! Her kid sure wasn't kind to her body.

This description of her post natal physique is

nasty!

On topic: my daughter wants to see this movie, but after reading and hearing all the reviews, I just may wait till it comes out on cable... I heard a critic talk about the underlying sexual line of the Wizard - that the main goal is he wants to screw all 3 of the witches - why would they F with the Oz story like that??

Plus, I can't stand James Franco OR Michelle Williams....duds.

Always considered Rachel Weisz to be a gorgeous woman and Mila Kunis is cute. Don't see anything attractive at all about Michelle Williams. Not even when she was young and on Dawson's Creek.
