Rainbow

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is definitely worth watching!

I have watched it twice in a row. It is a pure art!

I love all the elements, colors, sounds, music, symbols of the movie. People just have to be enough intelligent to understand it and not to be superficial when it comes to watching this movie

When you read articles how the Wizard from Oz - the movie from 1939. Is filmed, and what happened behind the scenes, some of the scenes of this movie are more clear and understandable.

The movie includes people with troubles in life, people who are often on the margine of society, and it helps them find purpose and a community.

Please watch it, and pay attention to symbols.
