Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Big Critic Was very surprised with how great the movie turned out and there were a couple of promising actresses in the movie. Thought Noel Thurman (sp?) had a great role. She is obviously talented and imagine she'll be snatched up very soon by larger production companies. I admire new retakes on older movies and thought it was refreshing and unique. I'd like to see more of these type of remakes by this director. He obviously can pick a great cast. I was a bit surprised by some of the poor reviews. This was an entertaining movie. Does anyone have recommendations for other remakes like this? It will be interesting to see where this director goes from here and whether any of his cast develop. I think there's a lot of potential. Will be following this cast.

Mikelane1987 I can honestly say I watched this with an open mind both parts 1 & 2.It was horrifically acted save for Christopher Llyod as the wizard.The characters fail to make you feel anything for them, the wicked witch of the easts death was rubbish (she sees the house about to drop on her & looks up & says "Oh dear" in a certificate 12 DVD she could have said "oh $**t!").Toto must be immortal as he was a young dog at the start & continues to look young the entire movie.The guy playing the scarecrow should have been left to burn, all he did was produce crocodile tears when he was threatened.3 odd hours of my life I'll never get back.If you want to see a good version of OZ I suggest you see WICKED at Londons Apollo Victoria theatre.Not worth wasting £10 on the DVD. Should have just set lite to the tenner.If you have not watched this movie & are a fan of OZ for the love of God avoid it.

glenstff This fill in the blank retelling of the Wizard of Ox, is bursting with imagination and fun. This made for TV miniseries have very good special effects and leaves the viewer stunned with it unforgettable scenery. Although, some of the lines are hokey, it still manages to put a smile on your face. If you like the Wizard of Oz, you will at least find it interesting. All the characters are here, and a few more surprises. Is there no place like home ?? Dorthy Gale has all grown up and a writer. Guess what she writes about? If you are an "OZ" lover, you are sure to enjoy this gem, with it's imaginative writing and story framework. Oh and you will laugh in parts, Be sure not to pass this One up, And don't forget TOTO too. Happy viewing.

CygnusXII I was expecting garbage and I was surprised. Owing that this movie came out of SyFy's stables, I thought it was going to be a bunch of CGI trash. I was quite wrong. While the acting is not strong at times, I think that is because the writing is a little flat. Some of the Acting is quite hammy at times, and over the top. Sprinkle in a judicious use of munchkins, and other baddies and I guess it balances out. Some of the prop work and costumes are pretty cool. Christopher Lloyds outfit is spot on Steampunk at it's best, as well as The Tin Woodsman prop works. Some of the City EFX, are lacking, as mentioned the lightning is a little lame. I guess all in all though, it was worth a watch, and could be viewed by the kiddies.
