Oz; The Great and Wireless

SPOILER ALERT: THERE ARE A FEW MOVIE QUOTES IN THIS REVIEW; IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO KNOW ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT THE MOVIE I WOULD NOT ADVISE READING THIS REPORT Today was just a regular day. I had school, which was okay, but after that I went to our local theater. There I was amazed at Oz the great and powerful ( he has no need for wires). This man, a great magician, but not too good a person, has many acts that would make Newton gasp. Join Oz, China Doll,and Finley on their epic quest to defeat the wicked witch … Glinda? SAy WHaT?!? The floating bubble chick? Well I guess you'll just have to find out for yourself. In this movie there are plenty of nods to Dorothy and Totos original journey ( Munchkins, Ozs big glowing head, flying monkeys, and we realize that the western witch gets hurt by water…). The thing that bothered me is that Sam Raimi forgot to add in the ruby slippers. I mean come on. How did that easterly, striped pantsed witch get those designer duds? I WANNA KNOW!!! Apparently Jack Nicholson isn't the only one that thinks we can't handle the truth (YOU HERE THAT SAM!?! YOU CAN'T HANDLE US NOT HANDLING THE TRUTH!!!). Other than that, I didn't have many qualms with Sams choices on directing this film. What I really liked was all the nostalgia for the famous, yellow bricky, predecessor. Those four examples are just the start! Another thing that I liked is that it was filmed so climactically. The cameras really move with the people on the silver screen. It also uses a lot of special effects, but seriously, whats a witch without some fancy fireballs or some lightning (an ugly vengeful hag built on derping you to death)? This movie has a few dysfunctions ( unconvincing acting, not making me jump, etc.), but otherwise it was a good production. On a scale of Troll 2 to Star Wars II, this movie would receive a solid Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers ( if you don't speak nerd, it got a 9.25 out of 10). Despite some minor flaws, this movie came out as a tough competitor for my 2013 favorite movie so far. WARNING, AT MY LOCAL MOVIE THEATER ( Tenth Frame Cinemas ) THERE ARE SOME IFFY TRAILERS FOR KIDS BEFORE THE MOVIE (Great Gatsby/ The Host) STARTS. PS: There isn't anything at the end of the credits. );
