I took my daughter to see this film in 3D when it was in theatres because I grew up watching the original and my kid likes the it too. The film stars James Franco, Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz, Mila Kunis, Zach Braff and Bruce Campbell. There are other people that I recognized, but those are the main cast and notable others.
Plot: This is the story of how a “magician” gets transported to Oz and becomes the Wizard of Oz. The film is a prequel to the original film, but I am glad that they used the story from L. Frank Baum (the guy who wrote the original books) for their source material.
Overall, the film isn’t the best thing you’ll see, but it is a fun film to watch that doesn’t sully the original. There are some scenes that pay homage to the original and that’s always a nice thing to see a director do, especially when the original is a classic.
