Movie review - "Oz Great and Powerful" (2013) **

 Decent central idea - origin story for the wizard - but James Franco isn't as compelling a lead as say Johnny Depp would have been, and it's sluggishly paced despite some decent actors and visuals. Maybe it needed songs.

Michelle Williams looks pretty and smiles at Franco. Rachel Weisz is fine. Mila Kunis ditto though you're aware her most interesting work will come later.

The chatty chimp was adequate. The china doll touching. There's GI battles.

It was fine, I guess.
