Went to a viewing Thursday.I had HUGE expectations for the movie and actually most of them were fulfilled!The 3D and the effects were amazing! I loved all of the little nods that their were for the original! The black and white converting into full colour and widescreen was also another great idea.
The acting was pretty good I thought throughout. James Franco was actually pretty good, many say he was miscast and I don't understand why?He was pretty great,nothing special but pretty good for what was given.His friend a flying monkey, played by the guy from Scrubs had everyone laughing he was really funny! The china girl was good also, many say her part is really the core and heart of the film. Michelle playing Glenda was very good , you could see that she was trying her hardest to live up to her role. Rachel Weiz...she was good but I was actually mad at the script writers for having her more present than her sister. Rachel was great at playing a bad witch but when she became ugly at the end it was just weird and people were laughing cause she looked like an old man.
So....throughout all of this I was the most excited for Mila Kunis, hearing that she would become the Wicked Witch Of The West was something that I thought was great...but when it came to screen...it was odd! The dialogue that was given to her was horrible! I will not blame her for that!But loving Kunis I will say that she wasn't the worst of the cast but she wasn't at her best! I thought that she was either on point or VERY OFF. Her transformation sequence was great...but I feel that she could of put more emotion in it. I am sorta left speechless about her performance...it isn't good or bad...?I really don't know?I simply wished that I could of loved her part better! But I did appreciate that her last words said in the entire movie were on point and not VERY OFF.
Basically the movie was A LOT of fun everyone should see it! I would give it a 8.5/10.
Cast Scores (Oz - 7.5) (Glenda - 9.5) (Evanora - 8) (Theodora - 8.3)
