We're off to see the Wizard, the wonderful...Oh wait wrong property. Here's my poster review for Sam Raimi's 'Oz The Great And Powerful'
It's time to talk about Sam Raimi's 'Oz The Great And Powerful'(pretty sure it's missing a colon), the least successful money wise, despite making $493,000,000, but the 2nd best received of Disney's live action fairy-tales. It also happens to be my favourite, though I haven't seen Kenneth Branagh's 'Cinderella'. As you can see the poster has all the main characters bar Finley(Zach Braff) and China Girl(Joey King). It contains all the normal poster stuff: the name, release date, 3D-ness, IMAX screenings, small print containing credits and the studio(which because it's Disney it's in two places). Though I'm a bit surprised that the cast isn't listed at the top given the celebrity of James Franco, and that Sam Raimi's name is only at the bottom given that he directed one of the most popular superhero trilogies ever and that 'Spider-Man 2' is one of the best superhero films ever made. Though it does show off some of the great looking, CGI landscape of Oz.
I've stated that I liked the film but it did get mixed reviews from critics and is one of Sam Raimi's few less well received films, probably because of comparisons to the 1939 original, so it's not for everyone. And yes, there is a Bruce Campbell cameo.
Thanks for reading and I would like to add that I own this and any future posters I will review.
