MCT:August 26, 2008In my opinion, the most overated science fiction/fantasy movie ever made! Placid acting, dumb storyline, and so so special effects means that I can't really imagine why Pink Floyd ever bothered to use this film as a backdrop to their Dark Side of the Moon album.
Dark Side of the Rainbow, which their version has been called, is excellent, but if they had chosen a movie that was worthy then what they would have created would have been absolutely phenomenal!! -

MCT:July 28, 2008They gave me this one as a recommendation. Read the synopsis, it's like Great-Uncle Lyman Tiberius (the horse-shoer) drank too much patent medicine.

MCT:July 1, 2008A tremendously bad version of the Wizard of Oz. It got so boring that I could just barely stand it.
-
MCT:May 27, 2008Actually own a copy of this movie and its the orginal I got it off the side of the road by a dvd street vendor.
If you like old grey,black, white this movie is for you. -
MCT:April 4, 2008From the mind of Larry Semon (who wrote, produced, directed, and starred). I don't know why this movie was titled 'Wizard of Oz'. A grandfather/toymaker has Dorothy, Tinman, and Scarecrow dolls sitting in his shop when his granddaughter asks him to read her the book The Wizard of Oz. From the get-go the movie has NO relation to the book. King Krewl has been copied from the earlier silent films from more than a decade ago. Nothing magical really happens in this Oz, it is vaguely like some European nation with a dictator unjustly in power and a "Kynd" prince who is beloved by the people. Dorothy does live in Kansas with an Uncle Henry and Aunt Em. Three farmhands become important: our star Mr. Semon, Oliver Hardy before Laurel and Hardy fame, and Spencer Bell an African American man (by the way the movie is very racist though on the other hand at least Mr. Bell was given a featured part in several scenes). There is a love-triangle between Dorothy, Semon, and Hardy. Krewl has a band of Zoro-like characters do his dirty work, and did you know you can fly from Oz to Kansas by plane!? Dorothy, the three farmhands, and Uncle Henry, but not Aunt Em travel to Oz by a storm. The Wizard of Oz is described as a "medicine-show hokum huckster." Like I said no magic happens. Turns out Dorothy is the rightful queen. To hide from Krewl, Semon dresses up as a Scarecrow, Hardy as a Man of Tin, and later Bell as a Lion. They are all explicitly men in disguise. The movie is filled with slapstick routines. In the end, Dorothy does not choose either Semon or Hardy, but Prince Kynd, and the little girl has obviously fallen asleep from boredom of her Grandfather's story rather than dreaming of happy adventures!

WTH! There was one before the musical one. I gotta see this.
Do people actually read the synopsis, the year the film was released or what actors are in it? Obviously not. I like to give the benefit of doubt but there are A LOT of idiots on this site.
While I've yet to see this, it's not the same Wizard Of Oz that Judy Garland is in and not a musical.

Judy Garland is just a wee pup in this classic. She was so great. This isn't just a kid's movie. If you haven't seen it in a while, rent it. You'll be surprised how great it is when you watch it as an adult.

Interesting silent take on L. Frank Baum's tale from 1925. Highly watchable but it is quite long and the changes made weren't really necessary.

A Classic. If you have never watched this movie I think you're missing out on a great movie experience.

You have to admit, who can ever forget the lines in this movie, and it is nearly impossible not to watch whenever it is on. A true classic that has stood the test of time.
-
MCT:August 16, 2007
more like the actual novels and done a decade or more before the 1930s one. L Frank Baum actually directed some of these
-
MCT:August 6, 2007
What a classic. This is one of those movies everyone has seen, and it is so good that everyone really needs to see it. Just a good story that should never be tried to do again. Must see.

Only worth watching if you're playing Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon over the top. And before you start debating, yes it is pure coincedence that it synch's in with the film.

who doesn't love the Wizard of Oz??? Awesome movie and the special effects for that time were great!!!
-
MCT:July 9, 2007
This truly is a classic, even if after you watch it for the millionth time you do feel like smothering yourself.
-
MCT:July 7, 2007
the reason i give this 4 instead of 5 stars is for the disturbing factor of the film...and that the writer stole the storyline ideas from Hindu religious stories

I love how this site posts rip off versions of classics and dumb people immediately click on the star quality of the real version.
