Small-time Kansas conjurer Oz (James
Franco) finds himself whisked off to the land of Oz – where three beautiful
women – Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz), and Glinda (Michelle
Williams) – play a veritable whodunit in terms of who among them is the Wicked
Witch. Suffice to say that while Oz – The Great and Powerful – does not do
disservice to L Frank Baum’s original, it is markedly different – in
particular, invoking the great Thomas Alva Edison and a different kind of magic
in 20th century science. Well taken, and contemporary enough overall
to be relevant
13.5/20
