Wizard of Oz
Starring: Judy Garland Directed by: Victor Fleming Rated G Theatrical Release Year: 1939 Genre: Family, Musical, Fantasy Synopsis: A young girl is caught up in a tornado and is whisked away to the magical world of Oz and meets some zany characters on her way. My Thoughts: I am telling you people right now, I am going to get a lot of flack for this review. Be prepared to be mad at me. I am going to take on the biggest classic movie of all time. Scorecard Acting- Judy Garland stars as Dorothy Gale a young orphan who is taken in by her Aunt and Uncle. In the time of overacting, Garland does nothing but overact, and it seems like every time she is on the screen she is over acting to her hearts content, but I cannot blame her for that, because that is what everyone did back then. (1/2) Direction- I have no complaints with the direction, and even if I did, I would be mobbed and lynched because he is perhaps the least known director that has done two of the biggest films of all time. He also directed Gone with the Wind. Fleming did a good job here, the story flowed nicely, so I cannot complain too much. (1) Story- A young orphan and her dog go to the magical world of Oz where they meet some strange characters in order to defeat the wicked witch. This story was not written all that well, and was really not played out all that well. This story was well before its time, but not in a good way. (0) Expectations- What do you expect when people claim that this is the greatest movie ever made. I don't agree. I was not at all impressed with what I got, in fact I am going to go out on a limb and say this movie is the biggest over promoted movie of all time, while I can see how people do like it, I just didn't. (0) Boring?- In my opinion this film was 100 minutes of sheer boredom. There was really nothing exciting about this movie and there were so many parts of people just walking and walking and walking...in my honest and wholehearted opinion, I was bored out of my mind watching this film the first time, and when I finally tried to stomach it for a second and third and fourth, it was no different. (0) Final Score: 1 1/2 out of 5 Final Thoughts: Let the hate mail come in. I would love to know what was so enjoyable about this movie. It is called one of the greatest films ever made, and I just do not understand why, there were annoying characters, there was a paper thin story, over acting galore, there was nothing I found worth watching in this movie, and I know that I will get a lot of hate mail for this one, so be it.
