Looks like another snorefest packed with CGI.

Someone in America takes a ride in an air balloon and then gets caught in a tornado and ends up in Australia?

Bollocks!!

This looks not so much like revisionism but rather just a prequel, which deals with events not mentioned in the previous movie because they happened long before that story started. It actually looks to me like it might be sort of interesting....

(Or by "revisionism" do you simply mean that there are different actors playing the parts of the Wizard and the witches...?)


ETA: You are aware, aren't you, that long before the 1939 movie there were 14 books about the land of Oz written by L. Frank Baum (and numerous sequels written by others after his death)?...and that elements of that movie (most notably the "it was all just a dream " ending) were in fact "disgraceful revisionism" of Baum's work by the producers of the movie?

Complete and utter fiction...

What Econoline said.

Frank Baum was one tripped out guy. The Oz books are completely weird and have a cult following of the even weirder (I dated one, once).

And other than Judy Garland's magnificent voice, I hate the Wizard of Oz, too.
