After the Wizard

This film is absolutely terrible. Its boring from start to finish really poor acting no imagination Rubbish characters tin man dressed in a suit?? Scare crow dressed in a suit with a bit of straw??? Really come on this movie has no budget No imagination Walking round a modern day Kansas city, this movie is terrible. Nothing from Oz here just awful story line so annoying and worse than watching paint dry. Really this movie has no resemblance to the great wizard of oz film I loved. This film just stinks so bad I had to write this review. Save your life not wasting time watching it there is no magic just boring silly directed film. No wonder it was never in the cinema its so bad

Elizabeth lives in a Kansas orphanage, run by a lady who has been there thirty years. Even though twelve year old Liz doesn't want to upset folks, she does. That is because she lives in a fantasy world, where the young gal believes she is Dorothy of the Oz books. Everyone is instructed to call her Doro, which they refuse to do, resulting in punishments galore. Meanwhile, the Tin Man and Scarecrow have landed a balloon in New Jersey and are making their way by train to Kansas. The journey many problems as this duo doesn't understand money, state boundaries and more. Fortunately, they do have a pocketful of emeralds from the E city, which do come in handy. Will they be able to locate Dorothy at the time she really needs them? There may be a tornado approaching, too! This sweet film moves so slowly that some children will give up a view, despite the delightful Tin Man and Scarecrow. It is a well conceived tale, that an orphan girl, rejected by many, invents a dream world to cope. Therefore, Oz characters are part of an imaginary world, which may not be clear to kids, either. Nevertheless, if boys and girls are the patient type, this little film may thrill those who adore the original Wizard of Oz movie.

I've never been a fan of the original Wizard Of Oz & I think I've only liked 1 or 2 of the remakes.I really didn't know what to expect of this version but I was surprised that I truly liked it.It was something different.I enjoyed watching the journey the Scarecrow & Tinman took on their way to find Dorothy & the people they met along the way.I especially liked the Scarecrow & Tin Man's costumes.I thought they looked pretty cool.My only problem with the movie was that the girl thought she was Dorothy & wanted everybody to call her that but her actual name was Elizabeth.It just made it seem like she had.... problems.Why couldn't her name just be Dorothy? I can imagine not everybody will like this movie but I think for a low budget movie, they did a GREAT job

While this was a very amateur production with a few good performances, as a life-long fan of the Oz literature I could have overlooked that if the story had been any good. My biggest issue is that it's presented as an Oz adventure when it's not, and whatever story it's trying to tell is muddled by two incongruous plots. Elizabeth is an orphan who pretends to be Dorothy in order to cope with vague and undefined problems, while the Scarecrow and a guy in grey makeup travel across the United States to seek her help with vague and undefined problems back in the rock quarry that's supposed to pass for Oz. I've wondered if I might have liked this movie more if I'd seen it as a child.

This is touted as a sequel, yet nothing about it matches the canon or indicates that anyone had actually read the books despite the frequent praise for them from the writer and the characters. There are already at least two other "sequels" anyway that DO incorporate elements of "Land of Oz" and "Ozma of Oz," the books which follow "Wizard:" Filmation's "Journey Back to Oz" from 1972, and Disney's "Return to Oz" from 1985. This was more like an "add a word" forum game that someone cobbled together into a script, and given that a few dozen people received special thinks for the writing, I wouldn't be surprised if that's what happened. It would certainly explain why the overall premise was so disjointed.

Ultimately if you like stories that have a simple plot with minimal conflict that's easily resolved and a pat happy ending all around, you'll find that here, but if you want something more complex, keep looking.

This was one of the WORST films I've ever seen in my entire life. Horrendous acting, terrible editing, idiotic dialogue, and an interesting concept that was executed poorly. It even has NO budget whatsoever, almost as if the actors were being held hostage. If I were in the studio, I would've had the FBI on speed dial.

And whoever likes this film are unemployed. 😀

Also, I'd like to note that people who milk the original IP are uncreative and should at least think of a BETTER idea for a film and actually put some effort into it.

Watching this movie is a fate worse than death. DO NOT WATCH!!

I have no ill will towards the actors who were involved in the making of this film.
