I went to see The Great and Powerful Oz at the Strand Theater in Clinton the other day. I really enjoyed the movie.

There were a lot of awesome, colorful visuals, there was a very strong story, had some interesting characters, and it had many funny moments. It was interesting how the movie began in black and white and the screen was contained in a square format much like the original Wizard of Oz. The Wicked Witch of the West was very well done, with some of the aspects of the Deadites from Sam Raimi's Evil Dead series incorporated into her character.
There were only a few things I would have to nitpick about. The Wicked Witch of the East could have been done a little better. James Franco was good in the movie except for a certain part where he should have been much more intimidating and grand. But those are just a few nitpicks.
I could tell this film would have been awesome in 3D, but I heard from a friend that it seemed a bit too long of a movie to have in 3D and caused her to have motion sickness.
