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

I just got used to everyone’s avatars, and now everyone’s changing them again.

Not to worry. The Terrible Trivium is transitory. I shall don the X-ray specs anew momentarily.

I’ll have to change mine again soon. The current one I have was to make a statement; it doesn’t make good regular use imo.

How about you go with Prometheus? He was a Titan, and he gifted flame to mankind. . . . 😛

I used to have tremendous respect for Bill Nye. Then I watched this and this.

It’s amazing how one can take credibility built up over decades and flush it all down the crapper in the blink of an eye.

I have a feeling this will get political fast.

FWIW, I haven’t a problem with Nye’s politics; he can believe what he wants to believe. But when he uses his reputation to promulgate his political opinions as scientific fact, especially in such a crude, moronic fashion … that’s when I get cross.

It’s amazing how many commenters here respond in all seriousness to tongue-in-cheek suggestions.

I’m hoping the big surprise is Yoda vs. the new spider Ady added in order to better line up with the prequel version of Yoda.

If there was one thing ESB needed, it was Yoda vs a giant spider.

Jedit: Have the lightsaber travel in an arc and cut all the legs off in one single swoop. Haven’t seen that in any of the movies yet.

Not sure if serious, semi-serious, or unserious.

[JEDIT]

To those with sarcasm detectors on the blink, the above fits into the third category.
