Oz was OK, it tells how he came to be. How he came up with the "Wizard" was good, but the wicked witches... eh... not convincing characters. Glenda the good witch was well played. The landscape and story also wasn't vast like the original. They had BIG shoes to fill trying to spin off the original and I just don't think they filled them. They could have done it better, that's all.
