The opening in black and white seems like a bad idea. Really, do people need to be hit over the head in order to get the nostalgia? This movie should try to gain merit on its own, instead of using a cheap gimmick to ride on the coattails of the classic movie. It shows a lack of confidence, which I guess shouldn't be too surprising, as Hollywood would doesn't want to do anything too risky, i.e. original, these days. I had just hoped that the world of OZ is so bizarre that even for modern Hollywood, this would be something to see. For example, are they going to be using tons of midgets in this? And Sam Raimi is a stylish director… I'd hope to at least see OZ done with glorious modern effects. But, casting Mila Kunis as the wicked witch? I just can't get past that voice…. ("Damn Jackie, when did you get so green and ugly!?")

It was sepia.
