Franco's acting almost ruined the flick

He was actually the 3rd choice for the lead behind Robert Downey Jr & Brad Pitt

A great movie. In Franco's defense he was supposed to play an overly dramatic, slimy, see through con man. Whether or not it was because of his acting, Franco played the role it needed to be played.

I agree.

It's crazy tho cuz they prob acted the majority of the movie on a green screen stage lmao.

why would you expect a lot from a kids movie going in as an adult?
i went in expecting a wizard of oz type show and thats what i got.

I took my kids this past weekend and we all enjoyed it. It's a fun family flick that parents will enjoy as well.

If you're looking to relive the wizard of oz and all of it's characters you will be disappointed.

That Kunis chick needs to hang it up. She sounded like she was reading a book the whole time. Her voice over was dry as hell.

So you gonna call Amazing Spider-man wack but praise this garbage ass display of overhyped marketing? :childplease::scusthov:

What you mentioned above was the only decent part of the film. Plot was weaker than comatose Wayne in the ER. Villains were trash. The green witch's makeup/cgi/acting was all way off. Supporting characters were trash (especially that doll girl.) I'm sure the sequels will be even worse.

I disagree, the doll chick, the monkey, and Knuck were the only things that got a reaction from the audience.

i liked it...saw it last night in 3d.

i like how they separated it from the original by not incorporating musical segments.
midgets wanna sing and dance?


nah...cut that shyt out.

yo, i said dead that shyt...for real!


anyway, i thought it was a good prequel. it addressed many questions about OZ and left more questions.

why were the Witches minions Baboons instead of monkeys?
why was OZ's servant a flying Monkey?
