Review of Return to Oz (1985) by Andrew K — 14 Aug 2012
The stunningly grim tone of this film has earned it a "cult" status years later- however, it deserved more respect during its original run. Though this tale doesn't meet the standard of the original story, it's still engaging and thoughtful, returning us to familiar elements while exhibiting a bolder, more mature "style".
The practical effects, character and set designs are as creative as they are dazzling- definitely doing the original film justice. It may not target the same type of viewer, but Return to Oz works as a direct sequel to one of the greatest films ever made.
