Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)

I don’t know precisely what compelled me to watch this; I dislike CG/greenscreen-heavy movies, and I no longer have any respect for Sam Raimi as a filmmaker. Perhaps I watched it 'cause I like James Franco. Perhaps I watched it 'cause I hoped the story would flesh out the wicked witch’s backstory and motivation, making her a more three-dimensional character. Well, if fleshing out a character means making them a jilted lover, mission accomplished. *rolls eyes*

The long and short of it: This movie was obnoxious, overbearing, overlong, and very, very trite.

5/10
