Oz the Great and Powerful

Description

Disney’s fantastical adventure Oz The Great And Powerful,
from the director of the Spider-Man trilogy, follows Oscar Diggs (James
Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics. When Diggs is
hurled away to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot — until
he meets three witches (Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz and Michelle Williams), who
aren’t convinced he’s the great wizard everyone’s expecting. Reluctantly drawn
into epic problems facing Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is
good and who is evil before it’s too late. Putting his magical arts to use
through illusion, ingenuity — and even some wizardry — Oscar transforms
himself into the great wizard and a better man as well. For sheer
visual splendor, Oz the Great and Powerful is hard to beat. Even before the
hot-air balloon of carnival magician Oscar “Oz” Diggs (James Franco) gets
swept up in a tornado and hurled to the Technicolor land of Oz, the sepia
tones of Kansas have a lush, almost velvety texture. Once Diggs arrives in Oz,
he learns of a prophecy that he might be the wizard to free the land from the
grips of a tyrannical witch–and from there, the movie juggles visual delights
with a story that is regrettably half-baked. Some sequences and characters are
skillfully realized (a little girl made of china is perfectly developed, both
visually and narratively), while others seem propped up like cardboard
cutouts. (Unavoidable comparisons to The Wizard of Oz, a masterpiece of
vividly drawn characters, don’t help.) Franco doesn’t have the theatricality
one might want for a carnival huckster, but fortunately his low-key performing
style helps to ground the bright spectacle in human emotions. As witches
wicked and good, Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz, and Michelle Williams all display
charm and verve. The movie is flawed, but when Oz the Great and Powerful hits
a right note, merging wonder and fear, dazzle and darkness, it’s easy to
forgive the weaknesses. –Bret Fetzer About the Actor Oz the Great and
