    No. It was going for me until about midway through the trailer. It stopped being Oz and started being Alice in Wonderland. Passing.

    @bawnian-dexeus This is a prequel. Haven't you read the synopsis?

    @narrator It doesn't help that I just finished Farscape off Netflix, a show that almost exclusively relies on puppetry/practical effects besides outside of the spaceship (and even then, it's usually the same stock shots just from different angles. So watching this, the CGI was painfully apparent.

    I'm in the same boat as @dan1.

    Too much overly obvious CGI, and not enough practical here. I actually enjoyed the black and white scenes better, as they gave off a real Raimi vibe. And while I understand Oz (the world) could use an update with more creativity, I can't help but see unnecessary fantasy gimmicks everywhere.

    I was turned off by the excessive CGI, but the presentation is nice, with the black n white into color, and it ending with the flying monkeys. But I wasn't nearly as impressed as I hoped I would be.

    The film itself looks great @thedude-abides, I agree she seems misplaced here.

    Utterly ridiculous. Michelle Williams is better than this crap.
