Amazing visuals and a great cast. I love the homage to the 1939 movie with the pre-Oz scenes in black and white/sepia. I'm really pleased that Michelle Williams is in it, she looks really good as Glinda. I really can't wait to see this.

I think it looks great and the cast is excellent and I expect it to be pretty scary in places due to Raimi's filmography.

Looks very eye-poppingly stunning.....but i just hope it's not CGI creature overload. Why can't film-makers just use some real puppets again, i want to see texture's and actual eyeballs.

Looks bad like Alice, I guess if its from the same producers that makes sense. Also Michelle Williams is forever looking miserable, even in a kids movie.

It's only a teaser so I cannot make much of a judgement....

I'm in love with Mila Kunis so I hope this extremely expensive film is a success.

Yeah, know what you mean.
He's not bad, but he just leaves me a little unimpressed.

He was good in Freaks and Geeks but since then he's left me cold too.

It is a prequel to the wizard of oz (also a lot of people think it is a remake and expect Dorothy, the tin man etc. to show up ), so not exactly a happy story in the making.

Did think myself about it looking like Alice in Wonderland, only for the moment when Franco falls down that cliff, but for most people I think that subliminal message worked (from the producer of ŽAlice in WonderlandŽ, only just noticed that bit myself).

Personally, the CGI effects were not that noticable to me (a lot of people are calling them terrible).

As I like most of the cast, even the sulky Michelle Williams, I do hope that it will become a box office hit (and perhaps cleans up on the technical Oscars, judging by the initial reaction and the fantasy subject this is not an Oscar film for the major categories).

I do like Michelle Williams in the right role. She does more depressing adult drama and she does it very well but as Glinda? I'm so not sure unless Glinda hides a secret heartache and she cries herself to sleep everynight then Michelle is perfect.
