Oz the Great and Powerful Ratings & Reviews
Bitch Media
Jenny Catchings
Make no mistake, Oz the Great & Powerful a beautiful film... But any true weight of vacancy rests in the script itself - and no feats of acting could have fundamentally changed this trap.
Grantland
Wesley Morris
The twister that comes to whirl Oscar into Oz is so preordained you could find its departure information and flight time from an airport travel board.

Leonard Maltin
I was a bit skeptical about the casting of James Franco in this role, as a small-time carnival magician, but he is thoroughly engaging as a struggling con man and charmer.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Oz the Great and Powerful is entirely serviceable family entertainment. Problem is, serviceable doesn't quite cut it when you're talking about the magical land of Oz.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
Aside from a trio of witches that can hold its own with Eastwick's in the dishiness department, Oz the Great and Powerful is a peculiarly joyless occasion.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Let us take a moment to praise two great and surprisingly powerful characters: a winged monkey and a wee girl made out of china. Because so much human wonder resides in these two creations of make-up, puppetry, digital effects and lovely performances.

The new Oz falls short of the 1939 Oz in charm and innocence, and certainly in songs. But as family entertainment, it's hard to fault such a rapturous spectacle and astute, suspenseful piece of storytelling.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
Oz the Great and Powerful somehow manages to be both slavish to its hallowed template (when convenient) and completely tone-deaf to the magic that made it a one-of-a-kind cultural milestone.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Raimi's film is supposed to be about magic, but magic is in scant supply.
Detroit News
Tom Long
"Oz the Great and Powerful" will likely dazzle family audiences while satisfying movie purists. Somewhere over the rainbow there may be a more magical movie, but this will certainly do.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
By the end of the two-hour 10-minute movie, director Sam Raimi proves he understands spectacle but not the deeper dreams of the people who consume it.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
It's a journey of self-discovery, rife with movie cliches about believing in yourself, believing in your dreams, yada-yada.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
The real star of the story is the enchanting, rapturously imagined setting.
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
Oz the Great and Powerful aims for nostalgia in older viewers who grew up on The Wizard of Oz and still hold the classic dear while simultaneously enchanting a newer, younger audience. It never really accomplishes either successfully.
Slate
Dana Stevens
A visually over-crammed, emotionally empty mega-spectacle on the model of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
A partially effective jumble whose elements clash rather than cohere, this solid but not spectacular effort stubbornly refuses to catch fire until it's almost too late.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The more you like the Judy Garland film, the more you might appreciate "Oz the Great and Powerful."
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Cary Darling
Yet, like so many big-budget movies these days, it's hard to care much about what's going on, especially as the film builds to its special-effects-driven conclusion.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
[Oz] qualifies as a cautionary tale, not about the perils of ambition and selfishness, but about the movie industry's misguided belief that it can distract the audience from a film's narrative weaknesses with little more than flash and spectacle.
NPR
Bob Mondello
Oz the Great and Powerful tells the story of how the Wizard came to Oz, answering a question I suspect no one was asking, but with considerable digital wizardry.
