Oz no longer child appropriate
Oz the Great and Powerful is not a children's movie.
Womanizing, open morals, and promiscuity can all be found in Disney's new prequel to the classic tale, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
James Franco plays Oscar Diggs, or Oz, a circus magician known for never being able to keep a female assistant. While running from a love interest's boyfriend, Oz finds himself on a hot air balloon traveling toward a tornado. Past mountains, rivers and lakes, Oz's balloon crashes into trees, deflating.
After seeing the commotion that was Oz's entrance into the land of Oz, witch Theodora, played by Mila Kunis, rushes to help him. She tells him of her sister, Evanora, Rachel Weisz and the troubles that they have been having with Glinda, Michelle Williams, the daughter of the former king of Oz's.
Oz works his charm on Theodora. She falls in love with him, and on his first night in Oz, Theodora and Oz take a trip into the woods to bury his bone. This is another not so child friendly scene in the movie. Later when she finds out he probably will never marry her, Theodora became the wicked witch of the west.
In the end, Oz learns to be moral, stop the womanizing, and be great. He then assumes the role of Oz, the man behind the smoke and mirrors, the leader of Oz.
Oz is a coming of age tale for the middle-aged man.
It can be best thought of as an adult take on an old children's tale.
Children should not be taken to see this movie.
Caught in a movie about a make believe land, children will think this movie is about following dreams. Yet, the sexual innuendos cannot be missed. If you are looking for a feel good family oriented movie, look elsewhere.
