Oz The Great and Powerful… and Adorable!

I remember being terrified of the wicked witch… I remember shrieking as the lion jumped out to eat Toto… I remember my heart pounding the first time I saw a trailer to the new one before a movie… about six months ago…. I though it was happening again… they were going to make movie magic for my generation…. The creepy green hand dragging black talon like nails across the table sent chills down my spine… and James Franco… SWOON…. and there we were this weekend… and instantly I realized it was not my generation these dark additions were meant to thrill… but that of small child next to me (13 yr old… I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone under 8) and once I got past the disappointment and realization that this was not what I was hoping for… I thoroughly enjoyed it… the scenery is stunning… the witches are both beautiful and creepy… shrill and obnoxious as one might expect…. the munchkins were fun… the tinkers adorable … it was a fun movie! If you are going to see it… spring for the 3D tickets… It just adds to the cheesy fun atmosphere. I would see it again… and the water fairy was awesome!
