Oz: The Great and Powerful

B and I watched Oz: The Great and Powerful at AMK Hub Cineplex today. I enjoyed watching this film and I like the fantasy in this film. In my opinion, I think the flying monkey was cute, the china girl was brave and Oz did create some kind of magic in the Land of Oz. The film had colourful visuals and I thought the storyline was good. I find that the film was put together beautifully and after watching my mood went up. ^_^

Story
When Oscar Diggs, a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot — fame and fortune are his for the taking — that is until he meets three witches, Theodora, Evanora and Glinda, 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.
