Reel Talk:
We all know the story of The Wizard Of OZ, well this movie gives us the orgin of how the Wizard came to be over OZ. How Theodora (Kunis) went from a good witch to an wicked and evil witch. The 3D graphics are spectacular and the story is not bad either, it just kinda takes a little long to get to where it's going. Still the performances are good and the characters are colorful. So on those points alone, this movie is a decent movie worth checking out. All you gotta do is just sit back and let your imagination go!
