♥♥♥♥♥ |
Great original storyline but OK packaging
|
Tin Man is a Sci-Fi channel miniseries that came out in late 2007. It is a remake of the Wizard of Oz story; supposedly set several generations after the original Judy Garland version of the Wizard of Oz. As a remake, many things have changed. First of, Dorothy is not a blond-haired, blue-eyed prudish girl. Instead, we have DG, a disillusioned tomboyish teenager with black hair and a subtle "whatever" attitude. She is transported to the OZ (short for Outer Zone) by a tornado, but once there the story is very different. She does meet a tin man, who is actually a local sheriff. There is a cowardly lion, though with very impressive powers, and instead of a scarecrow, we have a lobotomized scientist with hidden martial arts skills.
This OZ does have a wicked witch, though instead of old and ugly, she is actually a hot babe who dresses provocatively. Like the original version, there is a great secret revealed, though here it relates to the wicked witch. I personally like this story better as it is very original, with none of the traditional cliches. So I give this a 5/5 stars for the storyline.
However, the execution could have been better. The audio and visual effects were all believable, and the cinematography was good. What was lacking was the costumes. For a land far far away, all the good guys wore dresses similar to what Americans wore during the 1940s and 50s. And the witch's henchman dress eerily like Nazis. So lack of innovation in the costume. The soundtrack is also quite repetitive, and seems better suited for trailer music. A movie like this deserves a full blown orchestral score. So for execution, I give this movie 3/5 stars.
My final disappointment was the lack of subtitles. Overall, a good movie and worth the time to watch it. But not spectacular. |
