Drag Me to Hell was fantastic! I don't know if you're speaking to an overall lukewarm reception from critics and audiences, but Raimi's horror fans were certainly not lukewarm. One of the best American horror films of the last 20 years, and certainly the best PG-13 one: love that bile and boddy horror still snuck in there.

I have very little interest in this film, though, and your review didn't change that.

Marginal review at best Mr. Jagernauth. We all know it'll be better than the original film because the SFX suck in that one, but what about the story here? Where is it?

I suspected it was bad from the trailer. Can't stand Franco or Kunis, either. Clue that is was a stinker? Depp & RDJ passed on it.

This is not a review it is a retelling of the entire story full of spoilers. Thanks a lot, you must not own disney stock.

I also recently saw it and felt Kunis gave a very solid performance. Just taking a look at other reviews that are coming in, I am not alone in that opinion.

@AB – I was under the impression that The Wizard of Oz is one of the few classic films that pretty much everyone has seen.

But Consider the fact that the "The Wizard of Oz" was released 70 years ago. And this is a prequel/remake of sort. So you would not expect Movie Goers to know the fate of Oz (Unless they are movie aficionado) and hence not very predictable.

This movie is brilliant A+ and Franco is the perfect OZ, couldn't imagine anyone else playing that role. Furthermore, it also has everything a Disney family movie should be, simply just GREAT.

Black Swan was a fluke re: Kunis?

So it's not as good as Jack the Giant Slayer?

Saw it last night, Rachel Weisz and Michelle Williams are the only good things in this film.
