Review of The Wizard of Oz (1939) by Jason M — 02 Jan 2017

Clearly one of the greatest film of all time, by any standard. This film has stood the test of time, and is no less fascinating and brilliant today than it was in 1939. This is the gold standard of children's films and has set the barre for the industry to come. Few films have come close to its perfect flow, soundtrack, acting, plot, directing, cinematography and special effects. The story-line is seamlessly tied together.

It is incredible that the special effects are still as effective today as they were back in 1939, despite the age of this masterpiece. My young children enjoyed this film just as much as I have over the years.

I'm glad Hollywood has not bastardized this film with a "reboot" - yet. The world does not need another horrible Tim Burton remake of a classic novel and/or film, as the modern treatment of Alice In Wonderland has demonstrated.

Whoever is the 1 "professional" critic that posted a negative review of this film is a complete fool. They should be banned from this website and is certainly no professional from my perspective.
