Oz where is it playing

At first he thinks he's hit the jackpot-fame and fortune are his for the taking. That all changes, however, when he meets three witches, Theodora Mila Kunis , Evanora Rachel Weisz , and Glinda Michelle Williams , who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity-and even a bit of wizardry-Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.

Top review. A Perfect Prequel. Oz the Great and Powerful tells the story of how the great wizard Oz from the Wizard of Oz came to be. It follows the young Oz James Franco as he is swept away to an enchanted land ending up in the middle of a power struggle between three witches.

This attitude has consequences and those consequences are what drives the story forward. James Franco plays the young Oz brilliantly. The character is a shallow small time magician and the story shows how he comes full circle to be the Great and Powerful Oz from the Wizard of Oz.

Unfortunately, his change happens after taking a grievous toll. The three play their parts and give great performances to add to their resumes. For those who watched and loved the Wizard of Oz in their childhood, this movie is the perfect prequel. Watching it as an adult was a treat. The writers did well to adapt the script to make it a worthy prequel. In addition, the movie does well to entertain both children and adults.

It slots in perfectly as the precursor to the Wizard of Oz. The film didn't have the best reception but I encourage you to ignore this. The directing is probably the weakest link in this movie, but the story and actors more than makeup for this.

The character development is amazing and shows exactly why things were they way they are in the Wizard of Oz. Simply stated Oz the Great and Powerful is truly a prefect prequel. DrewAlexanderR1 Aug 14, FAQ 5. Is this a reboot or a prequel? Where is Elphaba?

OZ chronicles the attempts of McManus Terry Kinney to keep control over the inmates of Em erald City as well as the drug trade and the violence.

Quotes [repeated line] Vern Schillinger : Niggers are up to something. User reviews Review. Top review. Its influence will elevate the level of television drama for years to come. The stature of this program must be measured in the context of its format.

These are not feature films, but one hour dramas, no different in concept or constraint from countless other network counterparts. But, oh how different in result.

Oz is not for everyone.
