Rainbow

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.

Honestly, it is too bad about Rainbow. The preview looked really good, but for some reason I kept it on my list for a while. I was hesitant to watch it and couldn't exactly explain why. Now that I've seen the movie I can tell you why: it's not very good. I thought the vagueness of the Wizard of Oz was creative without making it too hard to see. They didn't make it some blatant shifting of the old tale to a modern one. This was its own story. The characters were all fantastic, and I thought they had a good chemistry together. Everything else about this movie was not good. As I said it IS it's own story, but it's a bad one. The writing was bad, and some of the design ideas were a bit out there for me. I hope there are people that do who do Rainbow, but I'm not one of them.

Un placer visual y auditivo, "me quito el sombrero" para el director.

Un homage a Wizard of Oz, con una historia divertida y fácil de digerir. Un casting ideal.

An audio visual treat, magnificent cinematography, hats off for the director. Wonderfully casted, easy to follow, great homage to Wizard of Oz, but an original and creative story that's entertaining and easy to follow.

Absolutely loved revisé of colors to tell the story, the score is absolutely on point.

Congratulations to everyone involved, I only wish cinema keeps moving in this direction and studios green lit more pictures like this. Good on Netflix for backing this.

In Rainbow, the Spanish director Paco Leon, delivers a new fresh concept of Dorothy. Dora (maybe like Marco ;) is looking for her mother whom she has never met.

The colourful musical is a modern and cool interpretation of the Wizard of Oz .

In Rainbow, Dora is lost like the Quijote in "La España profunda". Lost in today's modern world, Dora confronts several weird and awkward situations in her venture to meet her mother Pilar .

This is a creative new concept of Dorothy in a modern world of todays' Oz. I love the young actress Dora.

The soundtrack has a cool beat and an amazing feeling.

I think I would give a 7.5 overall.

I had such high expectations of this movie. The trailer was delicious, the first scene was done brilliantly, and the first 25 minutes really promised and interesting story. Unfortunately, the stimulating introductory montage was never again to be seen, the story fell apart and we were left with a blob that once maybe knew where it was going but it forgot - probably due to substance abuse. Hence, it dissolved into nothing in particular and definitely nothing peculiar. The movie was absolutely anticlimactic in all possible senses: it just failed to deliver and conclude. I would suggest an unfortunate skip.
