When Oscar Diggs, a small-time circus magician with questionable morals, is whisked away in his hot air balloon from dusty Kansas to the extravagant Land of Oz, he sees the chance of a lifetime. Everything seems so possible in this astonishing place of lush landscapes, astonishing people, and unique creatures! Even fortune and fame! These seem all the easier to acquire since he can easily pass himself off as the great magician everyone is hoping for. Only three witches, Theodora, Evanora, and Glinda, seem to truly doubt his abilities... Thanks to his illusionist skills, his ingenuity, and a touch of witchcraft, Oscar quickly finds himself involved in the problems facing Oz and its inhabitants. Who knows, perhaps an extraordinary destiny awaits him down the road?
I thought this would be a dumb movie, but I was wrong. Pretty good movie and very funny. He's a magician who the people of Oz thinks he's powerful. He trys to con them all into thinking he has special powers.
Overdone movie for children, with tiring tricks thought for 3D but a poor animation that becomes boring for its colorfulness. If you are a kid, you may enjoy, if you are an adult, better pass ...
