Oz the Great and Powerful


Positives
* The visuals

Negatives
*Wow, I don’t remember the last time I saw acting this bad!
* Terrible dialogue
* Nothing any of the characters do seems to make any logical sense or be consistent with what their motivation should be.

The Review
          A peculiar little movie—it almost seems like this movie is deliberately trying to be terrible on purpose.
            In fact I think that’s what may be happening here.  I suspect some of the more blatant cheesiness of this movie is a deliberate homage to the cheesiness of the original Wizard of Oz and other movies of its time.  I’m not entirely sure the gamble paid off though.

Rating :
2 out of 10 stars

Also, really think this woman is one of the most intelligent Internet movie critics out there. Nostalgia Chic, worst of 2013 (She also ranks Oz the Great and Powerful as one of the worst films.)
