Here's my review for Oz the Great and Powerful starring James Franco, Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz and Michelle Williams. The film will be locally distributed by Walt Disney Pictures Philippines.
The film is directed by Sam Raimi and is a prequel to the 1939 "Wizard of Oz". This flick basically explains why the Wizard was in Oz as well as the origins of the Wicked Witches of the east AND west.
The movie is pretty to look at especially if you catch the flick in 3D.
Three-time Academy Award-nominee Michelle Williams (“My Week With Marilyn”) plays Glinda, the Good Witch who tries to convince Oscar (James Franco) that the Land of Oz is in trouble at the hands of the evil Evanora, in Walt Disney Pictures’ fantastical adventure “Oz the Great and Powerful.”
At the same time, Glinda is hoping Oscar is the answer to the land’s prophecy—that a wizard will someday come and restore order. Director Sam Raimi says of casting Williams for the role, “Michelle has a real positive spirit and depth of soul. She’s a good person and I needed that in the actress who was going to play Glinda.”
