Oz: The Great and Powerful
Rated: PG (sequences of action , some scary images, and some brief language) WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS!
YES... another OZ film set for release March 8 2013. But this is NO remake, it is a completely different story from the Oscar Diggs (The Wizard) point of view. It comes to a point where Oscar must make a decision close to the one Dorothy makes in 'The Wizard of Oz'. He can own all of the treasure of oz, if he defeats the wicked witch of the East( Evanora), where as Dorothy can return home if she defeats a wicked witch (Theodora, the good witch of the south, until transformed to with of the west). This film is kid\family friendly, and I think it will be a box office HIT!! I read the book, so I know what happens. Don't be expecting any witches to die though, since they die in the wizard of oz (this takes place before Dorothy) The book was almost 200 pages, and talked about almost every part of the movie. Many things are WAY more clear, once you discover which witch is which! About 3 parts of the movie aren't in the book, which is a little upsetting. OK , saw the movie last night and enjoyed it so much, I think it was the best 2 hours of my life! It was a little jumpy 4 or 5 times, but other than the darkness this movie was family appropriate.
*10 of 10 thumbs up* I think this film is appropriate for ages 9 and up ( as a woman is seen in pants and a slip, while rolling on the floor, that's about the only iffy thing)
