I'm not sure having Sam Raimi as the director brought out the best in this story but having Rachel Weisz as Evanora was probably genius as she is a marvellous actress and she does brilliantly. Of course, James Franco did a pretty good job as Oz and Michelle Williams was likely perfect for the role as Glinda The Good Witch. Mila Kunis surprises after a slightly staggering and fumbling introduction as Theodora and gives a real good old-school children's film performance and though Zach Braff mainly does voice acting for this particular piece he does so well and does give a bit of life to his character.
The effects were well made enough and the 3D was decent. It looked good and overall the film was rather beautifully crafted.
Oz - The Great and Powerful was a little adventure the good old fashioned way. Nothing new, nothing too exciting. But it was rather delightful all in all and it is actually worth seeing. Especially if one likes the stories about Oz and it's probably a nice film for children. For someone who wants a grand adventure or complexity this is not the film for you. But for everyone else I would recommend it for sure. It was a sweet little story and it had it moments.
