Raimi is just better working with a small budget. I feel with this movie and his Spiderman movies he didn't really know what to do with all the money so just threw CGI on the screen. That said its better than the recently released 'The Croods'.<br /><br />Great review as always.Joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12932363773071125345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179127695106064318.post-28146936998019741302013-03-18T08:33:26.292+05:302013-03-18T08:33:26.292+05:30LOL about the LOTR comment.

Three movies. Maybe that is not a bad thing. But Franco is not yet lead material.<br /><br />My favorite thing about the LOTR movies is all the extras on the DVD's.<br />JohnFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294886206454693626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179127695106064318.post-22393534814516914602013-03-18T07:31:47.545+05:302013-03-18T07:31:47.545+05:30Having read your review of OZ on the plane, I have...Having read your review of OZ on the plane, I have not got to the latest elementary yet and will not read you're review till I come to my own conclusions.

He does better in supporting roles.<br /><br />LOTR is one of my favorite trilogies, right along with TDK. I think LOTR will retain its title as <i>the</i> fantasy movie series for a long long time.<br /><br />B2B.Arunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16498276962097853996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179127695106064318.post-65243195837753530002013-03-18T04:12:31.759+05:302013-03-18T04:12:31.759+05:30Not particularly a Disney fan, except for The Aven...Not particularly a Disney fan, except for The Avengers, which I absolutely loved, and a few others. But I am not sure if The Avengers would be considered a "Disney" movie since they bought it from Universal. Probably will rent Oz when it comes out on Blu-Ray just because I have nothing better to add to my Blockbuster queue. It seems Franco is more suited to a supporting role, like he was in the Spider-Man films, where he was great (except Spider-Man 3) and, as you stated, Rise of the Plant of the Apes.<br />I also agree about what you said about The Lord of the Rings. No fantasy film creates such a believable fantasy world filled with great characters than Lord of the Rings.
