Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

bearkrug Unlike most of the reviews, I actually enjoyed the series. I do think it could be cut to two hours and be more enjoyable - three was a tad too long. My main complaint was the acting. Christopher Lloyd was excellent and you expect that from him, but the big surprise for me was Glinda, the good witch. I had not seen her before and was very impressed with her work. I think Glinda (Noel Thurman) should have played Dorothy and vice versa. Hope to see more of Noel in the future. The other actors were sub-par at best. On the whole, I think the film is good for all ages. The visual effects could have been better as well as the directing.

mayhem2080 Possibility of Spoilers Altert but I hope not The Wicked Witches' plans to rule Oz are foiled. Dorothy returns to Kansas and now she's all grown up. Dorothy is an author to her own line of Oz books. Dorothy and her partner Allen are offered a publishing deal to the books and are whisked off to New York. Soon they will discover all is not what it seems. That the Wicked Witches still seek to obtain that which has eluded their grasp. Instilled with fear and doubt Dorothy must now find it within herself to face what's to come. She'll soon discover that she's not as alone as she thought. Dorothy will also have to face some hard realities of life and will learn some truths from her past long forgotten as she discovers whom she really is. Will Dorothy discover the Wicked Witches' evil intentions in time and be able to stand in their way and defeat them, or is this just the beginning to our world's demise? That is the key to things you'll see.I'd say See It, it's not a rehashing of what came before, it's modernized brought into our world melding a whole whirlwind of ideas for a new take on the World of Oz and combining all these new but still familiar elements into a standalone new story. It's filled with so many intricate parts to the plot that make it an intelligently brilliant story. Does it deliver? Yes and No. I first saw it back in 2011 but didn't review it and wasn't all that awe struck by it, though still fond of it. I watched it again for the first time a few weeks ago and discovered a new found deep appreciation of what they had created and I saw it in a new light. There was just so much story to be included which they sculpted together brilliantly that I thoroughly enjoyed it. It wasn't made exactly for little kids new to the stories of Oz but for us who grew up watching The Wizard of Oz and Return to Oz and have been waiting so long for something more and up to date. That being said it is a 2 part mini-series of about nearly 3hrs combined. The special effects are stronger in some places than in others. Some are really beautifully rendered and there are some wonderful shots of New York while other effects just don't seem to be enough or on par with today's blockbuster standards. This movie hosts some of the best talent around today. If you're like me you may not fully appreciate it right away and it may take going back to. Return to Oz wasn't a huge success but it is a beloved cult classic. It was a lot shorter and in my opinion better than Syfy's Tin Man and reminded me of say something like the series Once Upon a Time or Stardust, the Golden Compass, Ink heart, Merlin or an older TV mini-series the 10th Kingdom. Movies along those lines, just as good as any of them, if not better.Donald Huggins Jr.

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.

skinnyfish26 Modern twist to a classic tale. Very cute.Read all the books and love how they incorporated the head switching. Think that the other reviews were pretty harsh.THis is a very cute twist... can't wait to watch part 2.My daughter is a teen and she is enjoying it two... apparently I have to write ten line to be able to submit this review. This is my first review written but I'm very disappointed in all the critics.It's not a Hollywood blockbuster, but if you like to story then this is a fun twist.I also like how they are incorporating the characters in a simple manner that if you've read the books to your kids they'll understand who they are and be looking to identify the next one. Mind you Return to Oz is kind of a creepy book from what I remember not your average fairy tale.
