Okay 1010RD, please tells us what offended you in the movie.
We’ve been talking about it on this thread.
1. It needed to be edited down. It dragged on and on.
2. It was a rated PG ‘kids’ movie that wasn’t. This is a long time trend in Hollywood in which they inject inappropriate content into a childrens’ film. I suspect it’s the entire reason behing PG13. Shrek did this, too.
3. The same reasons noted by you. If you liked the Wizard of Oz, this film isn’t consistent with the theme. It lacks any innocence.
Because Hollywood is so liberal, even family men like Raimi are caught in the middle of the road. They have families and children and therefore get some of it, but because they worship at the idol of liberalism they don’t. So you get these muddled films.
Art De Vany did a study of Hollywood film success and failure. It turns out that this billion dollar industry with all its experience, star power and megalomania has utterly no idea how to make a hit movie. I find it shocking that they don’t get the formula.
The Wizard of Oz or the current prequel?
