Movie review

     
           I thought that yesterday was kind of a movie day so I decided to go see the movie, Oz the Great and Powerful. I heard some mixed reviews about it, so I wasn't really sure about it. The movie theatre was packed so it definitely had big hype. When it started, in the beginning,  it was kind of confusing, but I started to catch on as it went on. I do think it was alittle superfluous though. I don't want to give to many details away, but it was really cool to see how this pre-qual really tied in to the original Wizard of Oz. It helped me understand that movie much better too. The graphics in this movie were really impressive and it made it seem real, especially that it was in 3D which I think made it a lot better. Even better, the movie had very good actors in it and it appealed to all different audiences. It was romantic, scary, sad, and very funny.The movie had a lot of levity in it. It's kind of hard to put all those "genres" if you call it into one, but they did (though it might not have gone to extremes). My favorite part was when the evil queen collapsed and then turned into an old lady.  I definitely recommend going to this movie and taking your kids because they will enjoy it along with you which is hard to find in some movies. In a rating from F-A+, I give this movie an B+ or A- I thought it was really well done and I really enjoyed it. The director, Sam Raimi, did a very good job.
