Overall, I found it very enjoyable, if not flawless. But the fact is, this is much closer in tone to the original novel than the 1939 film.
So, the thing about her actually being a descendant of Dorothy kind of changed the game a bit...does that mean the spirit of the witch posessing Azkedelia was actually The Wicked Witch of the West?
That is what I thought too! I love Sci-fi fantasy and I loved the way the writers ran parallel to the original book while bringing home the age old theme
of "history will repeat itself." Brilliant? No. A nice piece of SFF? Oh hell yeah! Watch it if you are in the mood for a bit of fun with a
classic. Forget about it if you believe "The Wiz" was better than the original film from 1939.
