Oz in 3D - "There's no place like home."

The new 3D Oz is a prequel to one of the most beloved movies of all time, "The Wizard of Oz."  This  movie possess few if any, original ideas; if it only had a brain, or a heart.  It mainly follows the yellow brick road storylines, characters & scenery except in 3D.  Oz does feature 3 of the most beautiful & talented actresses:  Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz & Michelle Williams.  At least these actresses showed some courage with this lackluster script.  James Franco, the great & powerful Oz, brought little magic to his role & a creepy Cheshire Cat smile (perhaps he was in a different movie altogether.)  Glinda the Good Witch (Williams) kept telling Oz "You can do anything if you truly believe."  I truly cannot believe anyone would want to see this movie, it's all hot air & foolish monkey business.  And, where did central casting conjure up so many pathetic extras?  I never realized the power extras had to muck up a movie.  You'll know you're not in Kansas when you see this film.  You'll find youself saying "There's no place like home."
