Just watched Oz the Great and Powerful, about an hour ago, but I have to say I didn't enjoy it quite as much as those above who mentioned it.

I personally felt like there were too many inconsistencies/differences between the movie and Baum's books - and too many references to the 1939 film, which wasn't the most accurate of adaptions to begin with... I mean, the witches weren't sisters (that was unique to 1939), the WWotW wasn't green skinned (again, 1939 adaption only)... and Glinda wasn't the king's daughter, were was Ozma exactly?

Plus there seemed - in my opinion - to be a huge amount of tonal inconsistency. One second they were trying to be serious, then they were going for old-fashioned humor, then a dash of modern wit... but It didn't seem to have much flow, I found it really jarring :/ I mean, obviously I have no problem with a movie trying to make you laugh, then cry, and then wow you with an action sequence... but I just felt like it wasn't executed very well.

The special effects were "wonderful" of course, but in this day and age it should be about more than that. I can't remember the last big-budget movie I saw that didn't have great SFX.

Of course that's me focusing totally on the negatives. I did enjoy a moderate amount of the movie, I just felt like it had been so over-hyped in my head that it couldn't (or at least, didn't) match up to what I was hoping for.

Nonetheless, I would recommend it. It's definitely worth watching at least once, I just wouldn't personally consider it a classic.

But then again, I thought Witches of Oz was fantastic - and it was pretty much critically-panned as far as I'm aware - so maybe I just don't have very good taste in Wizard of Oz adaptions xD

I just watched an old movie from the depression era called "Hells House".

It was a very good movie. It has Bette Davis in it. She is billed as the lead character, but she has a small part in the movie. The main character is the boy.

If you love "oldies", watch this!
