Great Remake

Very imaginative remake of the W of Oz. Fantastic "grown-up" concept of the old story that everyone knows. Really enjoyed it except for the terrible miscasting of Kathleen Robertson as the wicked witch, Azkadellia. Not sure if it was the corset or her lack of talent, but she was stiffer than a broomstick. Other than that, kudos to the team that gave this extraordinary work life as a TV miniseries. August 22, 2008

Has strong & weak points

I was lucky enough to watch this when it first aired & I loved it from the start. This re-imagining (or a sequel, depending on how you look at it) of the Wizard of Oz had just about a little bit of everything. You had great CGI, amazing actors, and a pretty interesting plot. The premise of a young girl (who may or may not be the granddaughter of a well known WoO character, I won't spoil it) who travels to another dimension to save the O.Z. is not new, but the steampunk twist on it is.

That's not to say that everything was perfect, mind you. At times the plotline seemed to lag a little and there were many developments that seemed to be somewhat unexplained or left to the side in hopes of a sequel or tv series. Still, these are very minor flaws when looked at as a whole and ones that can be forgiven.

All in all, I recommend it. I enjoyed watching it and I enjoy owning it. I really think that the reviewers were a bit overly harsh in their reviews. Maybe it's not the Citizen Kane of tv miniseries, but it was never meant to be as such.

Awsome

This is a great remake of the Wizard of OZ. Maybe not as good as the original, but still a wonderful movie. August 8, 2008

Love it

This is just a plain cool take on the Wizard of Oz, it's convoluted, funny, weird and heart warming. If you're expecting just a classical, modern remake, you're in for a surprise. If you're a die hard Wizard of Oz fan, you might not like it, but if you step into this movie with an open mind and not too many expectations as far as similarities to the original go, you might just love the ride! This is definitely a movie I can watch over and over again. August 7, 2008
