The Latest in the recent trend of rewriting fairy tales is what I guess would be considered a prequel to the Wizard of Oz, which seeks to explain how the wizard got to Oz and became the Wizard.
This is a stunningly beautiful film, with lots of special effects, The Film opens with a small screen black and white section in Kansas, which contrasts brilliantly with the big screen vibrant colours of Oz, which really brings the film to life.
The Story itself is well written and fun, in the classic kind of fairy tale model, this is defiantly one that Kids will enjoy. I saw the 2D version, but maybe this is one film where the 3D might add that extra something that just gives it the extra edge.
For all the brilliant special effects cinematography and vibracy, this film is perhaps lacking slightly in the acting category, there is very little in the way of emotion in this film, and nothing to really make you care about the fate of the characters involved, but maybe that can be forgiven slightly.
This is a stunning visual masterpiece 8.5/10
