ultrashort movie review: Oz the Great and Powerful ****

Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) Poster

I saw this in 3D and it was fantastic. Beautiful, vivid, visually stunning. A really fun movie. Great for families but I went by myself and had fun. A cool origin story to the well-known Wizard of Oz. I haven’t read any of the L. Frank Baum books so I can’t speak to how closely the movie followed the original stories but the Kingdom of Oz felt authentic to me. The plot moved naturally. Some twists seemed telegraphed but would be perfect for kids. Fans of steampunk will probably like some of the sequences in this movie as long as they can avoid booing references to Edison.
