Saw one Oz movie back in the 80s that was absolutely wretched.

As was the more recent “Tin Man” or whatever that was called

Most of the negative reviews complain that it doesn’t slavishly follow the 1939 movie. Which makes me want to see it. Although the last time I watched the original I realized it’s REALLY weird, a lot weirder than I remembered. Kind of like the first time I watched Willie Wonka as an adult and figured out just how much Wonka hates kids. Both are completely different movies when viewed through grown up eyes in front of a brain that’s largely forgotten the movie.

My Daughter always loved all the Oz stories. We got her a book with all of them when she was only around 10. Same about the 1939 movie. She liked some of the newer ones but not some of them too.

She told me Rachel Weisz is her favorite actress. I don’t even know who she is. They are not taking the kids to see it because it might be too violent or intense.

I have read a few of the reviews and they are generally mediocre. I will wait until it comes out in dvd which probably won’t be all that long.

I saw it over the weekend. I liked it. Nothing earth-shattering, but a nice story that’s safe to bring the kids to.

I’m planning on taking my kids to see it next weekend. I’m expecting to be stunned by the CGI, but greatly disappointed by the story, I’ve heard that there’s a parallel between the transformation into the Wicked Witch of the West and how George Lucas portrayed Anakin Skywalkers transformation into Darth Vader: both were fairy naive, angry and emotionally damaged people who were simply tricked into becoming evil ... if that’s the case then it really undermines one of the classic villans of American storytelling.
