Critic Reviews

Gloria Goodale

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

Jonathan Storm

It's a cornucopia of fanciful sets and costumes and more computer graphic imaging than you'll find anywhere else on TV, and a lot of it is pretty cool. Read full review

Maureen Ryan

Tin Man’s heart is in the right place, even if the execution of the story evokes, from time to time, creakiness of the metal man’s limbs. Read full review

Alan Sepinwall

Some of the performances are good, particularly by Deschanel (who gets to sing near the end, good news for anyone who saw "Elf"), McDonough and Cumming, but solid acting and monkeys flying out of, um, someplace aren't enough to justify spending six hours over three nights on a labored attempt to make a classic children's story seem grown-up and cool.

Brian Lowry

Tin Man proves a bit of a mess. Sci Fi has done well with minis in December, but despite the intriguing concept three consecutive nights of this adventure falls several Yellow Bricks shy of a load. Read full review

Tom Shales

Peeps of sentimentality only serve to emphasize the film's uneven mix of the sardonic and the heartfelt. Tin Man unfortunately seems as bereft of an efficiently functioning ticker as is the titular character himself. Read full review

Linda Stasi

There is a point to this mess, but what it is, I can't say. Read full review

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