Movie Reviews of Tin Man (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: Unoriginal, uneven, and disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
I really wanted to like this series. I love the cast, and I love both the books and movie of The Wizard of Oz. But Tin Man was a disappointment in almost every respect. The acting, even by those who've been good in other movies, was spotty. No one except Richard Dreyfuss turned in a solid performance throughout. The story was a taped-together hash of Star Wars, Dark City, Star Trek, and a dozen better shows. Even the theme music (repeated endlessly and overbearingly) sounded like Harry Potter.
The whole thing seemed listless. The actors didn't seem to be putting much into it, the pace was slow and uneven, and most of the design & art direction was uninspired. It's completely mediocre, and riding on the coattails of Oz seemed like an act of desperation. It did not earn its link to the Oz books/movies in any way. The connection was arbitrary and pointless, though the only modicum of fun was spotting the old familiar faces (Oh! There's Toto! Hey, there's the wizard!). But it seemed unsure what connection, if any, existed in its universe between events in The Wizard of Oz and events in Tin Man. Most of the time the links were random, and when it did try to make a real connection it didn't make much sense. On its own merits, as a fantasy adventure, it has nothing interesting to say or show. Casting itself in the tradition of Oz doesn't help much. There are some good laughs, and the evil witch is inspired and frightening, but otherwise this is a slow and unmemorable series.
Summary of Tin Man (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
A tent-pole miniseries release from RHI Entertainment and SCI FI Channel, Tin Man is a modern science fiction update of L. Frank Baum's timeless "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." When a sorceress named Azkadellia scorches the once-beautiful land of OZ into a desolate wasteland, the only hope lies in an "outsider" named DG, a young Midwestern woman, whose troubling dreams have summoned her to the doomed paradise. D.G. embarks on a journey to find the great mystic man to save the O.Z. and on her way she befriends a scarecrow named Glitch, a tin cop named Cain, and gentle manimal named Raw. Journey beyond the yellow brick road withTin Man, now on DVD for the first time in this 2-Disc Collector's Edition with amazing bonus features and collectible packaging.Action & Adventure DVD Video
