    This version, while imaginative and ambitious--as Halmi's sumptuous visions almost invariably are--is less successful.

    The miniseries' trite finish falls short of capturing the amazement we felt the first time we saw Judy Garland bring Dorothy to life.

    It's a dour retelling of the L. Frank Baum story, and it just keeps sinking further and further into pointless thematic complexity and visual density.

    Best remake/remix of an old story EVER. As a fan of the original, I actually prefer this version.

    They had a good idea but failed to execute. The "Got to get to the special item before the bad guy does" has been done so many times before this that left Tin Man with the difficult task of character development in this scenario crucial to keep it interesting. Unfortunately, the acting was monotone and without much emotion. Although DG is a beautiful girl, that beauty was spoiled by her placid ho hum emotional state throughout the film. Rarely a smile or frown or any indication that the circumstances were dire. The dialog had a lot to do with this as writing could have been much better. Visually, the movie was appealing but I wouldn't watch it again because once you get used to the scenery the boredom takes over. The anticlimactic ending just added to the disappointment.… Expand
