Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small illusionist and serial liar works in a circus on the dusty back roads of Kansas in 1905. Eventually he escaped from being caught for his deeds, and found himself in a magical world called 'Oz'. The world is being dominated by evil witch Rachel Weisz as Evanora. There is a prophecy that someone come with the same name of 'Oz' and will rescue the people of 'Oz' from the evil witch. Everybody thought that he would be a real wizard. In this magic world Oz found himself in real magic and much fear himself. At last he found himself useful. He used his circus cheating to beat the wicked witch and bring peace to the people of 'Oz'.
Best part of story, including ending: Who doesn't like magic. Yes, this movie is full of magic and illusion. With the use of modern technology, you will find yourself in a magical world even if you sit in your room or cinema. A really good movie to watch.

Best scene in story: 'Oz' tried to flee with a balloon and evil witch burned it. When everybody though that there hope is gone, he came back with his illusion and the talking monkey did really cry.

Opinion about the main character: 'Oz' was a liar but an honest man. He has good deeds in his heart. When there was nothing to fight back the witch, he showed his courage and bravery. Really a great acting.
