Oz: The Great and Powerful Reviews

Movie Reviews

• this trip isn't so notable. It's not bad. Some bits are enjoyable. But ultimately, other than some genuinely impressive visuals, it never makes a compelling-enough case to justify its existence

  by Bill Goodykoontz [Arizona Republic ]

• the moral here is that we are capable of more than we know, so how can we not be won over - especially if munchkins are involved? But "Oz the Great and Powerful" is a rougher slog getting there than it needs to be

  by Kenneth Turan [Los Angeles Times ]

• Oz the Great and Powerful is a grand adventure notable for its enchanting visual artistry

  by Claudia Puig [USA Today ]

• don't be fooled by the smoke and mirrors. There is nothing here that is great, or powerful

  by Elizabeth Weitzman [NY Daily News ]

• "Oz" represents the dizzy high point of Sam ("Spider-Man") Raimi's considerable career. He directs with skill and velocity, tossing another unsuspecting Midwesterner into a whirlwind that leads to a dazzling land of munchkins and airborne monkeys

  by Colin Covert [Minneapolis Star Tribune ]

• "Oz the Great and Powerful" may not have real magic, but it comes close
