An insult to all things OZ! Run away!!!

Please don't waste your time or money on this movie! It is a dreadful embarrassment to the name OZ! The acting is horrid, the make up and costumes looks like someone went and got cheap halloween costumes at a bargain center, and "Dorothy" had a lack of emotion, a bad wig, and a make-up job that looked like a 6 year old did it. There was no real plot, except everyone hunting for a key. It had the same flashback over and over and over and over again. Nothing was explained until 2/3 through the movie, so not much made sense. There was no good foreshadowing which made certain reveals confusing and like a last minute decision. The special effects are dreadful and a joke. Out of 2 hours and 45 minutes of actual playtime, about 10 minutes worth took place in OZ which was badly computer generated. It mainly takes place in New York City...so that is a disappointment right there. How they EVER talked Christopher Lloyd, Sean Astin, and Ethan Embry to be in this movie is beyond me. I think the fact that their roles were so short, it must have convinced them of some easy and quick money. Lloyd was in it for all of five minutes, and Astin and Embry were brilliantly funny, but in it about ten to fifteen minutes total as little elf-like characters with bad limericks. The movie dragged and dragged and you kept waiting for it to get good...and it never does. If you are a fan of OZ, stay away!!!! AVOID at all costs!! Watch the original Wizard of Oz, Return to Oz, or Tin Man. Now Tin Man was a mini-series that was brilliant and a praise to the series! DO NOT waste your time here!!
