What do y'all think?
I'll probably go see it this weekend just to support my girlfriend. But even if Mila Kunis wasnt in it I still think it looks pretty cool. Got high hopes for it.

I'm definitely interested. Hoping it's more like Return to Oz than Wizord of Oz though.

Looks pretty terrible to me. Disappointing for Raimi but it looks stale, and I just don't think Franco has the depth or charm to pull off this type of role.

My 9 year old is super excited to see this, so I'll probably take my wife to see it before we let my daughter watch it. I'm not expecting to be blown away by awesome, but I think it will be worth the price of admission (Groupon = 19 bucks for 2 in the Parlor at Cinetopia + a free drink).

The movie was not great, but it was a solid flick with decent acting. Mila certainly hammed it up and you could tell she enjoyed doing so. It was nice to see some old school 3D effects with stuff coming at you.

Avatar 2 will probably be the first. 24 frames per second is the main reason people get headaches from 3D, it's a horrible frame rate that only ever "worked" because of motion blur. You don't get motion blur with visual effects.

Oh good, the 3D thing again. Maybe Roland will call me grandpa again.
Oz was...meh. Didn't much care for it. The way the movie was previewed on the Disney Channel made it seem a lot more like a kids movie than I felt like it really was. It was mostly pretty boring and dark. No Disney-style happy endings, rather it seems the new MO is the "backhanded happy ending". I probably should have expected it based on the people involved in the movie though.
Zach Braff was probably the best part.
Does anyone else see Franco as sort of creepy? If I came into a room and James Franco was talking to my kids I wouldn't be starstruck at all...I'd just be wondering who the creep was that was talking to my kids. Then, after I realized who he was...I would wonder who the creep was that was talking to my kids.

I thought that The Hobbit was done in 48 FPS, I could be wrong though. I saw it in 3D at the theater and notices much less blurring than with the original Avatar, figured that was the reason.

The Hobbit was shot at 48 FPS, but most theaters still don't have 48 FPS projectors. It's expected that almost all theaters will have it within a year/year-and-a-half.
I had forgotten that The Hobbit was filmed at 48 FPS, even though a lot of 3D showings weren't showing it in that. I haven't even seen it, but I already know the difference it will make; and it was desperately needed.

I did put on my juvenile glasses for a few moments to enjoy some of the assets on display by the cast members... Let's just say I'm pretty sure Franco works out.

...Franco...
Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz also star.
If that's your primary motivation for going though, you will probably be disappointed.
