Sheesh guys...just because it has a similar LOOK to ALICE IN WONDERLAND doesn't mean it's going to be as equally bad. Different director/different method of storytelling (or in Burton's case - NO method of storytelling). I'll take Raimi and Franco over Burton and Depp any day of the week...I'll bet you this turns out to be pretty good.

Thanks for the links Solid Snake PAC.
The guy who called Mila Kunis a man is going to be hearing that for awhile
I am very excited for this movie. I think the subject matter is great for Sam's directorial style, and I cannot wait to see how it turns out.

Well, based on the trailer the performances look stiff as a board. Mila Kunis can't act. Was she really wearing skin tight spandex? Rachel Weisz can act, and she looks stiff and bland as well. Michelle Williams is decidedly "meh" in my opinion, and she doesn't look all that great either.

Actually, I think Kunis is wearing leather pants, possibly the ones she had on when she posed for the cover of Esquire.
I am going to bet

Saw a fan screening today at Epcot center. I enjoyed the film, certainly more than Alice In Wonderland, which I found boring. As a big Sam Raimi fan, I was pleasantly surprised to find many of his signature camera touches throughout the film, especially during the tornado sequences and the depiction of the Wicked Witch (some very Evil Dead/Deadite vibes there). Someone on twitter called it Army of Darkness for kids, which isn't too far off as their plots are quite similar at times. It definatly sags in the middle, but theres some good laughs and I thought Franco did a good job. Probably would give it a 7.5

I've been thinking about your statement of this being an Army of Darkness for youngsters, and if that is the case, I actually have a pretty good idea about the plot (at least I think I do).

If you are trying to avoid spoilers for this movie and have been successful so far, avoid this weeks Entertainment Weekly like the plague since the cover is one giant spoiler. I think most people who are following the movie already knew about it since they haven't worked too hard on keeping it a secret.

I'm kind of curious about this film as I generally like Raimi and The Wizard of Oz was a childhood favorite (I'm sure it was for many of us). From the previews though I get the feeling that the film is either going to be really average or really bad.

I laughed my ass off after reading that because the cover image completely spoils the identity of the actress.

Yeah, the cover pretty much spoils it. However, it's whom I guessed based on the trailers.

Who's doing the marketing for this film, Robert Zemeckis?
That said, that spoiler was literally the FIRST THING I learned about the movie, because it was an article written when the actress was cast and it spelled out who she'd be playing.

The reviews are a bit mixed so far, but the reviews that like it seem to really like it and the reviews that don't aren't overbearingly negative.

Spoiler:
The cover doesn't list the actress who is the witch, but anyone can see that's her in make-up with a fake nose. Not to mention that she still has on the black leggings.
Saw that Danny Elfman did the music for this one, seems that he does his best work with Raimi and Burton. FWIW, I would be willing to bet that had Johnny Depp been cast as Oz before anything else was written, this would be yet another collaboration between him and Burton.
I'll also say that the reviews for Alice in Wonderland were quite meddling as well, but because it was such a huge hit, nobody cared in retrospect, and it seems the critics are forgetting they bashed that one and referring to it fondly at this point.

I think the whole secret will be about as big a surprise as when we discovered Senator Palpatine was actually Darth Sidious.
