Well, OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL hit theaters today and is sitting at 60% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with our own Chris Bumbray giving it a 5/10 in his review. It’s not exactly BATTLESHIP numbers, but certainly not THE AVENGERS numbers either. I didn’t expect that it would rock our worlds, but merely be a flashier substitute to the garbage we’ve been fed so far at the box office that most would be happy just to have anything even remotely entertaining. Still, I’m sure Sam Raimi wasn’t going for “mediocre” when travelling back to Oz, but it appears that this is a long way from Kansas in terms of a worthwhile venture.

So, with that, we have Fortress of Attitude with a JoBlo.com exclusive musical review that sums it all up in a nice little ode to the original WIZARD OF OZ. I love these guys and the Zach Braff thing at the end got a good chuckle.
