Ok movie 8/10 See more David W Aug 9 Much closer in its dark tone to the source material but it was never going to eclipse the classic Wizard of Oz. Still, it gave it a damn good go.

Dubbed and subtitled in worldwide studios!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Jun 22 the story picks up where the original 1939 classic left off where we see Dorothy trying to convince the adults that she actually went to the land of Oz, sadly no one believes her and they place her in a psychiatric ward luckily Dorothy escapes and transported through a totally different way back to the magical kingdom things have defintely changed since she's been gone; the yellow-brick road has been destroyed, the citizens of the Emerald City have been turned to stone, and the ScareCrow is missing this is most certainly, a darker, more serious and more forboding Oz movie I think really younger viewers will find it too scary considering it involves demented henchmen, severed heads, and hellish-like environments still, the filmmakers make an effort when it comes to the sets, the costumes, the special effects, and the inventiveness exploring more of the Oz lore I enjoyed the new characters such as Tick Tock and Pumpkinhead Jack, the amazing animatronics and puppetry there's even some good emotional ressonace that struck a chord with me the original movie will always remain a timeless film but this 2nd one actually moves the story forward successfully and Bulk plays an adorable, vulnerable, caring Dorothy as we've come to know just like Judy Garland I’m very happy this gained a cult following even 40 years later! See more Eden A Jun 21 This was my favourite movie as a child, so many dark underlying themes, amazing performances and enchanting imagery a mix of enchanting and decrepit. Nothing like the original 1930s film and in a great way, this movie is haunting in a way that you remember, I know many children were terrified by it but to me it was the perfect blend of mild, tantalising visual and psychological fantasy-horror, and I am not a fan of horror as an adult. The adult actors all give very grounded and very realistic performances, more suited to an m rated thriller which only enhances the realness of the world. The naivety and innocence of Dorothy keeps the balance and brings us back to a more wholesome place. See more Read all reviews
