Skip it—this prequel relies too heavily on CGI spectacle and loses the charm that made the original Oz timeless, despite James Franco's charisma and a solid supporting cast. If you're craving that magical adventure vibe, rewatching the 1939 classic or trying something fresher will serve you better tonight.

Plot

Oscar Diggs, a small-time circus illusionist and con-artist, is whisked from Kansas to the Land of Oz where the inhabitants assume he's the great wizard of prophecy, there to save Oz from the clutches of evil.
