Based on the work of Frank Baum, “Oz the Great and Powerful” is an enjoyable…and at times visually stunning…film starring James Franco as Oscar Diggs (Oz), a magician/con man who is swept away to the Land of Oz…where the people have been waiting for a man name Oz to arrive, defeat the wicked witch, and become ruler of their land.

Even though this isn’t the same story as “The Wizard of Oz,” it’s tough to revisit such an iconic film. Viewers familiar with the classic, will have a difficult time not comparing this release to the original (both story and characters).
