Just because this Oz isn’t another bona fide classic doesn’t mean it isn’t worthwhile

June 16, 2013

Oz the Great and Powerful (New to DVD)
Walt Disney Studios; 2013; 131 minutes; PG, but contains scary images and mild violence; Directed by Sam Raimi; Starring: James Franco, Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams, Zach Braff, Bill Cobbs, Joey King, Tony Cox; Screenwriter(s): Mitchell Kapner and David Lindsay-Abaire

 

 

 

OK, so it’s not another bona fide classic. But face it, on average, how many authentic classics are produced each year? Answer: Zero. And while Oz the Great and Powerful cannot claim the mantle of movie immortality, it is nonetheless a worthwhile entry, filling in the backstory of how the wizard became The Wizard.
