This prequel of The Wizard of Oz had quite a strong cast, including James Franco and Mila Kunis. However, they failed to put across the charm of the movie. The overall tone of this film was so uneven that despite its visual effects, it was somewhat a mixed bag of humor and drama. Character development was pretty shallow, at least for fans, especially how Mila Kunis was presented as the Wicked Witch. The movie failed to impress the die-hard fans of the classic because of its ambitious attempt to expand the lore of Oz.
