Review of The Wizard of Oz (1939) by Aiden A — 04 Dec 2014

Um... I'm sorry, why all the praise?! I get that in its day it was innovative, but now NOTHING holds up, I don't think that all old movies are bad, quite contrary actually, I think that movies from the 30's and 40's are really good, because they hold up. This movie looks cheap. I don't mean that it looks fake, they didn't have the technology we have now, that's not what I mean, I just mean that it looks cheap and ugly. Also the acting was awful, and the character of Dorothy was one of the weakest and most uninteresting characters. She shows no strength, unless you count then scene where she gently flicks the cowardly lion on the nose. Also, the plot is STUPID, but that's okay if you care about the emotions and the stakes, but the acting and characters are awful, so you don't care about the emotions, and their are no stakes? It's all a dream. Why does everybody like this movie?!?!?!?!?!?! People only like it because its "a classic". Define classic please. Not as good as everybody says.

2/5.
