A musical classic. It is a bit dated now, but still pretty awesome overall. Good songs and good for the whole family. |

Probably the first truly great film that people are introduced to. The color is breathtaking. Everything about it is memorable, from the songs to the characters. And to think that this movie bombed when it was released in 1939. |

Classic, but Old |
|
The Wizard of Oz is a classic, for sure, but I find the movie to be very over-rated and old.
The story is good, but has its silly moments. First, there's the idea of the slippers taking her home. If the slippers were able to take her home the entire time, why didn't Glinda tell her in the first place? Along with that, what was so great with the wizard to begin with? All he did at the end of the movie was give them material items that really shouldn't give them what they were given. Such as a diploma for a brain. I don't know about you, but getting my high school diploma took a lot of learning and there's no way that would actually work.
The characters were alright, and pretty creative, but for the most part, they were really silly. I didn't really care for the way that they acted in... |

Follow the yellow brick road. |

No film is taken more for granted than 'The Wizard of Oz'. As a Fantasy film, it probably ranks better than any other. As a musical, it probably ranks better than any other. As a family film, it probably ranks better than any other. Any which way you slice 'Oz' you have to admit that it holds its own as a legendary film.The production value for its time was incredible. The musical numbers outweigh any other before or since its release. The choice of the transition from b&w to color is something that will never have the same impact again. The performances are impeccable, including the munchkins and monkeys. I'd say any film that has a midget or a monkey doubles its entertainment value. One of the most memorable heroines and villains ever put on screen.OK. Ninety-nine percent of Americans h... |

We're Not In Kansas Anymore...Yeah Yeah Yeah |

As amazing as this movie used to be at one point in the history of film, by today's standards, it really sucks. I appreciate it for its history and its innovations, but I can't watch it over and over again. In fact, when I was about 12, it came out as a digitally remastered version that my aunt took me to. I loved the movie, but I found that I became bored. Maybe its all the Left 4 Dead I play. Hmm... |
