Rating:  - WHY?
I only ask WHY are books and movies of purest fantasy always labeled or classified as SCIENCE FICTION? They have nothing to do with science, and this mislabeling makes it difficult to find anything that IS science fiction. WHY cannot these two categories be separated? SURELY it is not that difficult.
Rating:  - a Grown-Up's Trip down the Yellow Brick Road, still full of magic and wonder
WARNING: some spoilers.
My close-second (after Return to Oz) favorite film rendition of Oz is the recent SciFi miniseries, Tin Man. It keeps all the magic and fairy tale of the original works, but this time infusing it with new energy and more modern twists. This is a much more adult version of Oz, but it still maintains the perfect balances of magic and meaning, fairytale and modern images, and it is still distinctly American.
Baum, I believe, would have loved this clever adaptation of his stories. It totally keeps the spirit, the meaning, the heart, and the magic of the Oz tales. The magic is still here in the form of the American fairy tale: a brilliant blending of bits of American life (subberbia fallen, a doomsday machine, drugs, bars and psychics) and mechanisms (robots, super computers, hippie vans) with the land of the fairy (witches, monsters, princes and princesses). The symbolism/meaning of Baum is still here; the commentary on American life is still here.
DG (played by the wonderful Zooey Deschanel, who maintains a difficult balance between wide-eyed child and cynical adult, human and magical creature), like Ozma and other Oz heroines, is a little lost girl on her journey through a warped and symbolic version of her own world. She is a lost princess on the search for her identity. Like Dorothy, her greatest strength is her courage and her ability to make odd friends along the Brick Road.
In the O.Z., DG meets up with symbolic and ... Read More
Rating: - Classic gets Steampunked
An incredible re-imagining and new look for the classic story. I watched the entire thing straight through. I think this will be a cult classic, it will astound you but the big question will be if you love or hate it.
Rating: - nicely done..
Purists might not enjoy this "re-imagened" look at the Wizard of Oz, but I thought it was a refreshing take and update of the familiar story. Not a big-budget production, but an enjoyable story, but good chemistry among the actors. Zooey Deschanel is especially impressive.
Rating:  - Tin Man
Outstanding CGI, good actors doing fine job, but sad excuse of a story! (No value, No lesson, just politically correct...sad.)
