As others who have reviewed "OZ" have said, it rings so true as to how the wizard ended up in OZ, and why he hides behind the curtain and how the wicked witch came to unleash her vengeance on the people and on "Glinda the Good"! Such a great prequel to the original. I do think there could have been a better choice for "Oz" himself than James Franco. I look forward to seeing this again and again with my grand children. Real powers or magic....it never really mattered in the end. It was simply "because of the wonderful things he does!"
