After the Wizard

I've never been a fan of the original Wizard Of Oz & I think I've only liked 1 or 2 of the remakes.I really didn't know what to expect of this version but I was surprised that I truly liked it.It was something different.I enjoyed watching the journey the Scarecrow & Tinman took on their way to find Dorothy & the people they met along the way.I especially liked the Scarecrow & Tin Man's costumes.I thought they looked pretty cool.My only problem with the movie was that the girl thought she was Dorothy & wanted everybody to call her that but her actual name was Elizabeth.It just made it seem like she had.... problems.Why couldn't her name just be Dorothy? I can imagine not everybody will like this movie but I think for a low budget movie, they did a GREAT job

I am a 40 year old man and I watched this movie on one of the streaming services at my mom's apartment last year. I watched very intently while she tuned in and out while doing other things. While I have a hard time calling this movie good, I did thoroughly enjoy it.

There are many awkward and amateurish aspects to the production but these are also part of what make the movie so distinctive and intriguing and what make this what I consider to be a pretty special installment in the Oz universe.

The train scene where Tin Man and Scarecrow have a protracted conversation with another passenger is probably the most successful moment in the movie, in conventional terms. But the movie is full if dissonant performances that create a unique and porous reality which is dynamic and appropriate to the subject matter. .. The location shooting is a big part of this and the bumbling visitors from Oz make for excellent surrogates for anyone who is curious and wandering in a sometimes sad and confusing land.

I was enjoying this movie when it seemed to end prematurely and I would have liked to have seen more happen.

I give After the Wizard 7 stars because it warrants a cinephile viewing. The flaws in this movie are part of what make this movie as dynamic as it is - very dynamic. If you love cinema and you like to wonder about and question what it is while you are witnessing it, you may find this movie a suprising and rewarding viewing like I did.

This was one of the WORST films I've ever seen in my entire life. Horrendous acting, terrible editing, idiotic dialogue, and an interesting concept that was executed poorly. It even has NO budget whatsoever, almost as if the actors were being held hostage. If I were in the studio, I would've had the FBI on speed dial.

And whoever likes this film are unemployed. 😀

Also, I'd like to note that people who milk the original IP are uncreative and should at least think of a BETTER idea for a film and actually put some effort into it.

Watching this movie is a fate worse than death. DO NOT WATCH!!

I have no ill will towards the actors who were involved in the making of this film.

This film is absolutely terrible. Its boring from start to finish really poor acting no imagination Rubbish characters tin man dressed in a suit?? Scare crow dressed in a suit with a bit of straw??? Really come on this movie has no budget No imagination Walking round a modern day Kansas city, this movie is terrible. Nothing from Oz here just awful story line so annoying and worse than watching paint dry. Really this movie has no resemblance to the great wizard of oz film I loved. This film just stinks so bad I had to write this review. Save your life not wasting time watching it there is no magic just boring silly directed film. No wonder it was never in the cinema its so bad

Elizabeth lives in a Kansas orphanage, run by a lady who has been there thirty years. Even though twelve year old Liz doesn't want to upset folks, she does. That is because she lives in a fantasy world, where the young gal believes she is Dorothy of the Oz books. Everyone is instructed to call her Doro, which they refuse to do, resulting in punishments galore. Meanwhile, the Tin Man and Scarecrow have landed a balloon in New Jersey and are making their way by train to Kansas. The journey many problems as this duo doesn't understand money, state boundaries and more. Fortunately, they do have a pocketful of emeralds from the E city, which do come in handy. Will they be able to locate Dorothy at the time she really needs them? There may be a tornado approaching, too! This sweet film moves so slowly that some children will give up a view, despite the delightful Tin Man and Scarecrow. It is a well conceived tale, that an orphan girl, rejected by many, invents a dream world to cope. Therefore, Oz characters are part of an imaginary world, which may not be clear to kids, either. Nevertheless, if boys and girls are the patient type, this little film may thrill those who adore the original Wizard of Oz movie.
