Truly Dreadful Film

Simply Perfect

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

I had the misfortune to stumble on this god awful waste of film, electricity and time on cable television.It's literally unbelievably slow and stupid. There was this scene on a train where a blind man talks to the scarecrow and tin man and tells them simple and obvious stuff about "The Wizard of Oz" that we already know. It might be the single most boring scene ever committed to film.I sat there with my jaw dropped, wondering how any filmmaker can think anyone would want to watch something like that. And it went on and on and on and on .....................................It's getting distressing to think that the creators of today are so uncreative that all they can do is rehash old properties that have already been rehashed to death already.

The acting and the costumes are atrocious. I think they were purchased at a Salvation Army Store. A woodsman would need a bigger ax to chop wood. The scene sequencing was odd. Dorothy sees the Tin Man and Scarecrow before they set out on their journey. The Lion is left behind in Oz. The pacing of this movie was pathetic.If this had continued in the same era as the original, it might have been more believable that Elizabeth is in fact Dorothy.The passenger on the train continues with the misconception that Kansas is flat and rife with tornadoes. Kansas has for example the beautiful Flint Hills. Kansas elevation rises from East to West as the state reaches Colorado.There are other states with more tornado activity.

Elizabeth lives in a Kansas orphanage, run by a lady who has been there thirty years. Even though twelve year old Liz doesn't want to upset folks, she does. That is because she lives in a fantasy world, where the young gal believes she is Dorothy of the Oz books. Everyone is instructed to call her Doro, which they refuse to do, resulting in punishments galore. Meanwhile, the Tin Man and Scarecrow have landed a balloon in New Jersey and are making their way by train to Kansas. The journey many problems as this duo doesn't understand money, state boundaries and more. Fortunately, they do have a pocketful of emeralds from the E city, which do come in handy. Will they be able to locate Dorothy at the time she really needs them? There may be a tornado approaching, too! This sweet film moves so slowly that some children will give up a view, despite the delightful Tin Man and Scarecrow. It is a well conceived tale, that an orphan girl, rejected by many, invents a dream world to cope. Therefore, Oz characters are part of an imaginary world, which may not be clear to kids, either. Nevertheless, if boys and girls are the patient type, this little film may thrill those who adore the original Wizard of Oz movie.

This film is absolutely terrible. Its boring from start to finish really poor acting no imagination Rubbish characters tin man dressed in a suit?? Scare crow dressed in a suit with a bit of straw??? Really come on this movie has no budget No imagination Walking round a modern day Kansas city, this movie is terrible. Nothing from Oz here just awful story line so annoying and worse than watching paint dry. Really this movie has no resemblance to the great wizard of oz film I loved. This film just stinks so bad I had to write this review. Save your life not wasting time watching it there is no magic just boring silly directed film. No wonder it was never in the cinema its so bad
