The Great and Powerful Oz Patrick Leegan

During our class trip to the movie theater we watched the new Wizard of Oz movie.  Overall I thought the move was just ok.  I was really hoping that they would reference more characters from the original Wizard of Oz like the Tin Man.   There were some interesting parts and it really showed how the characters developed.  It seems that the common theme was that each character had a major flaw that would change them drastically.  One witch was totally consumed by the thirst for power, the other was filled with jealousy and rage and Oz was controlled by greed.  The two witches could not overcome there character flaws which led to their demise.  Oz on the other hand decided to help the people, not just for his own profit but because he actually cared about their well being.  He had grown into a more caring person.  Overall it seems that the movie was portraying good vs. evil and of course good wins.  The movie was not really my cup of tea but it was nice to go out and see a movie.
