I don't understand why this was touted as a reimagined Wizard of Oz? While it tries really hard to make connections to the original story - there is absolutely NOTHING in this that makes it worth sitting through the almost two hour long movie. Additionally, by making that connection - expectations are raised on which this movie fails to deliver.
The story feels cobbled together haphazardly. The director seems to have been confused because the end product feels like he didn't know if he was making a movie or a tele-novella.
The writing is sub-par and the production feels low budget.
This is very disappointing because I read a few articles about the making of this movie, all of which had me hoping for something wonderful, exotic, with a fresh spin on a classic tale. Sadly, it is a tremendous letdown.
