The plot flows seemlessly as a prequel to the original classic. There were so many good things in this film from the story to the theme to the characters. I'm sorry but I fell completely in love with the China girl! Uh and the thing the wizard did for her that he couldn't do in Kansas was a brilliant detail!

It'...I almost completely agree with you Alain. <br /><br />It's a nice movie, not a great one though, it's entertaining, very predictable and the visuals are nice, but remind me a lot of Tim Burton's Alice visuals and Oz reminds me of his version of Wonderland (or underland). <br /><br />Even the moral of the story is really similar to Tim Burton's Alice; that you have to find what is Marco Antonio Garcianoreply@blogger.com
