A forgotten classic.

Director Walter Murch tries to infuse the story with the inventiveness and adventure of the Star Wars saga, but the results are disappointing.

The work of ingenious technicians who seem either not to know what gave the original film its magic, or not to care.

1985 sequel to American classic is tin-eared and creepy.

It's bleak, creepy, and occasionally terrifying.

Best to see them as individual films with nothing in common apart from source material, one a classic, the other a strong enough picaresque amongst some decent fabulation.

On its own merits, has some very fine cinematic flourishes... if we can but manage the herculean feat of separating it from the older movie.

Any movie in which a Midwestern prairie actually looks more attractive and more interesting than the enchanted land over the rainbow is in big trouble.

Faithfully brings the Oz books to life. A classic.
