Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) Synopsis :
Oscar Diggs (James Franco) is an ambitious illusionist/con man employed by a midwestern traveling circus. Despite being greatly ambitious, Oscar's magic career isn't taking off. His illusions are cheap, his suits are torn and patched, and he's barely making enough money to keep his head above water. Frank (Zach Braff), Oscar's circus assistant, barges into Oscar's caravan as he puts the moves on his latest magician's assistant May (Abigail Spencer). He produces a small wooden music box, which he claims once belonged to his great-grandmother, and gives it to May as a token of his love. Frank reminds Oscar, (or Oz, as he's known), that his next show is about to begin. Frank hands Oz the show's cash takings: an old hat filled with a dozen quarters and nickels. Oz reluctantly plucks a pair of coins from the hat and gives them to Frank, and pockets the rest. Frank is unhappy with how Oz treats him.The magic show begins with Oz striding out onto the stage in a mystical, quasi-oriental robe and turban A.......

Story: Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz. 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.

Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) Review by Footserve from New Mexico
Mildly entertaining look at the origins of the characters from 'TheWizard of Oz" has everything down pack. From great visuals toimaginative set pieces, this film has everything. Its does not havehowever a single interesting character outside of the film's mainvillain and her good witch sister. Not to mention the fact that itsscript is as thin as a sheet of paper and the plot reeks of a Star Warsprequel but with out the light sabers. Its main hero Oscar Diggs(Played by James Franco) is not interesting at all and it does not helpmatters that Franco is miscast and while Oscar is supposed to be a bitof a conman with a heart; Franco comes across more as a degeneratedeviant with his performance. While Franco is sputtering out of controlperformances wise, it falls on his co-stars to pick up his slack andone of them is Rachel Weisz, who plays the oldest witch sister Evanora,who rules Oz with a velvet iron glove. She is manipulative and cunningand in my mind the best thing about this film. While most of the thingsin this film are mostly kids stuff, Weisz infuses her character with awickedly sassy seductive charm that elevates this film past most of itsproblems. Her showmanship with the material is greatly appreciated,especially when after a while; you are getting quite annoyed with mostof the characters in this movie, especially the computer generatedones. Another actor who picks up Franco's slack is Michelle Williams,who is very charming in a good girl kind of way and is the only actorin the film who can hold the screen with Weisz performance wise. Themovie could have worked much better if it just had Weisz and Williamsas the leads but unfortunately, its not and we have to suffer thoughFranco trying to be charming in a squirmy kind of way and suffer thoughprobably the movie's worse offense, which is the character of Theodoraplayed by Mila Kunis, who redefines the word "Miscast". Theodora issupposed to be innocent in this film and gradually lose her innocenceto become (Spoiler) the iconic "Wicked Witch of the West".Unfortunately, Mila comes across as interesting as a block of wood inthis film and her transformation towards the climax ends up being morefunny in a very bad sort of way than revealing. It does not helpmatters that Mila looks as disinterested in her character as theaudience is and a better actor with more range could have brought moreto it.
All and all, it had its moments but its problems weight it down.
Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) Review by bourdan from NY
Sam Raimi's prequel to L Frank Baum's Series of children's books playsgreatly into Raimi's strengths as a director. A strong imaginary worldthat is covered in light and darkness and characters that inhabit thatworld with a quirky feel of childhood imagination. Raimi literally putshis heart and soul into this production and it shows, giving a festivalof the senses with the viewer's imagination. While Raimi is workingover time to make all of this work, a weak script and bad casting oftwo very important key roles set him back. The only thing that putsthis film back on track is the game performances by two of the film'sother actors, one in particular whose performance keeps this film fromsinking from its own lack of depth.
For what does not work, look no further than the script, which is notvery well put together. Yes, it is a kid's film but kids are a lot moresophisticated than some of the dialog here and some of the kids in theaudience I was with moaned a bit while hearing it. Moreover, yes, it isa prequel to a story that many people know, so there should not be anyreal surprises but that is no excuse to be lazy with the script and thescriptwriting is lazy here. What makes the problems with the scriptjump out here is some of the casting, which is just bad. A good actoris able to make a bad script some how work for their character; a badactor only magnifies the scripts problems and makes their characterlook worse. Unfortunately, we have two actors completely wrong fortheir roles here and it only makes this movie even a bigger chore tosit throw. The first cinematic offense is the main character OscarDiggs, who is not only the weakest character in the film but has anactor who just not believable in the role. James Franco can be a decentactor when he tries and he can be infuriatingly bad when he just standsthere and not care about his performance, which he does here in thisfilm. The character of Oscar Diggs is supposed to be the anchor of thisfilm, a man that has to see the error of his ways in order to be theman that he is destine to be. However, thanks to Franco's lazyperformance and the weakness of the script, we really cannot see thegood in the character and is not impressed with his changed of heartwhen the time came to prove himself. Oscar comes across more as asleazy opportunist than a man conflicted with his inner self and wecannot root for him at all. The character is wasted opportunity andreally does not add to the story and thanks to Franco's inability toshow sincerity with his role, we really do not care at all about poorOscar or his problems. Another character we end up not caring for isthe character of Theodora, who (Come on, the cat has been out of thebag for a while) becomes the Wicked Witch of the West. Thanks to thescript and Mila Kunis inability to show range or any emotion outside ofanger, we do not care about how this character loses her innocents tobecome the evil witch and we do not care what happens afterwords. Whileboth Kunis and Franco fall flat on their faces performance wise, notall the actors fall by the waste side and some of them are able totranscend the weak script in order to gives performances than is ableto salvage the good Sam Raimi tries to give to this film. The first onebelongs to Michelle Williams, who plays Glenda the good witch andmanages to give off the right kind of goodness and decency that hercharacter needed to be believable with out the added fake sweetness.She is genuine and believable and is able to make her character workdespite the weakness of the script. It also helps that Williams is anamazing actor with a lot of range and is able to tap into her strengthsto achieve this feat. The best performance however belongs to the greatRachel Weisz, who almost single handedly saves this film from all ofits shortcomings with a performance that not only transcends its weakscript but also manages to be even better technically than the film asa whole. When the script keeps moving south, Its Weisz that keepsmoving the film forward. She gives a fun and sassy performance thatmanages to make the character of Evanora much more than the standardfairy tale villain and manages to give off a level of understanding andcomplexity that does not talk down to its audience. It is a brilliantperformance with a weak script and only the best actors manage toaccomplish that feat with out breaking a sweat and Weisz does thateffortlessly.
While the script is weak and some of the performances pretty bad, it isthe efforts of Weisz, Williams and Raimi that keeps it from falling offa cliff. For them only is the reason you should see this movie.
Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) Review by offbased from United States
Sam Raimi's excursion into the Land of Oz is somewhat of a sight tobehold, with great sets and wonderful use of CGI that does not overpower the senses or your cinematic tastes. Too bad for this film, badcasting decisions on two of the characters and a way too simplisticstory sets it back somewhat. Raimi does not throw up too manycomputerize affects and a great deal of Oz is old school charm withgrand sets and costuming. That benefits this film greatly and makes Oza real cinematic treat. The performances are for the most part spot onwith great turns by Rachel Weisz (Weisz has the most fun in her role)Michelle Williams, who gives a noble performance as Glenda the goodwitch and the third best belongs to the voice over of Zach Braff, whogives a funny performance as a talking monkey sidekick. With theseperformances and Raimi's technical savvy, the film almost takes off,almost. What keeps it from being any better is the story, which is finebut flimsy and predicable. Yes, it is a sort of prequel and you knowwhat is going to happen but there are no surprises to be found here andmost of the so-called surprises are ruined thanks to the marketing ifyou have been following this movie. Another factor that keeps thismovie from soaring to better heights is some of the other casting,which is baffling to say the least. Mila Kunis is disappointing as theyounger sister Theodora, who of course becomes the Wicked Witch of theWest. No flare in her part and just looks miserable through out theentire film. The biggest casting violation is James Franco who comesacross as sleepy and somewhat creepy as the main character Oscar (Oz).He overacts in some parts and under acts in others and is with out adoubt the weakest member of the cast.
While there is a lot to admire with this film, the problems it has(Mainly the story and the miscasting of Kunis and Franco) keep it fromachieving a better grade from me.
