This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

I don't know whose idea it was to make this 'sequel', but it was a very bad one. "After The Wizard" not only has no Wizard in it, but only spends about 10 minutes in Oz! The screenplay is strange and atrocious and the acting is superficial at best, with the exception of Peter Mark Richman as the blind passenger. Dorothy has zero screen presence, while the Tin Man and Scarecrow are laughable as their "costumes" are normal street clothes peppered with spray-painted on accents! Seriously? Community theater does a better job!The director (his first film and it shows it) needs to up his game and write something that makes some sort of sense and lines that don't sound like a six-year-old wrote it. How anyone can say this is a "wholesome film the entire family will love" is seriously misleading you down the yellow brick road...which this film also doesn't have!

Pretty much nothing happens in the entire film! Oz is shown briefly and then it's just an old quarry, there are absolutely no sets or special effects. The Tin Man, Scarecrow & Lions costumes are awful.Dorothy isn't Dorothty (I think, but it's not clear). Toto isn't Toto. My 5 year old was left bored and slightly perplexed. Luckily the DVD was only £3 and that's over priced. Running out of things to say about it to make up the minimum 10 lines on here it is that bad.If you buy this film your kids will unfortunately be disappointed.Expect to see it in poundland soon! It really is a terrible terrible film.

For a family flick, this is a really poorly executed film. The idea is excellent and for the first few minutes, the prospect of a great film gets you. However, this excitement quickly turns into disbelief when you are faced with 10-15 minutes scenes with one dimensional dialogues between two characters. Even my 10 year old daughter, fan of Shakespeare plays (heavy stuff) was bored after a while. We watched all hoping to see a turn of events that made our 80 minutes worth waiting... Nothing was found. The only positive thing was the acting. A great load of the film falls on them and they (in general) deliver. It is not their fault that the director choose substance over entertainment.

It kept my kids attention but it was very disconnected and left some unanswered questions.The acting was not horrible, but could have been better.The costumes left much to be desired, I think the tin mans snow gloves would have been better as just painted skin.Who in their right mind portrays Oz by shooting the Oz scene in a quarry? It was like they drove around and said...OK, that looks good, and free lets shoot there!The Oz lore was way off, whoever wrote the script didn't keep true to the oz books.Peter Mark Richman portrayed a genuine character with some good morals to the story he told, he was very believable.
