I expected this movie to be fun like a Letterboxd Movie Night movie. Watching it, making a little fun of it, and writing a joking review afterwards.
Instead I actually enjoyed it. Maybe it's because I just like the world of Oz and enjoy the different versions there are.
The costumes were great. Michael Jackson's Scarecrow looked a bit like he had a double chin, but I think he was perfectly cast just because of the scene where he tries to walk and fails. If there is one thing he was for sure then that's the master of dance.
I loved the Tin Man costume and the lion too, of course.
I just love the interpretation they did. They had very urban sets for a movie set in a wonderful land. My favorite location was the subway. It looked like a normal subway station, but somehow still felt special. It was just a little off, but that fit perfectly.
This movie has its flaws, but it was way better than I expected. The songs aren't that memorable, but they are still enjoyable.
I'm rating this movie 3.5 out of 5 stars (which is probably too high but it gets a buff because I expected something really bad I think). And a like for sure.
