I have a confession to make and I don't think most will like it...

I hate the Wizard of Oz. I don't know why, but from the time I first watched it with my grandmother as a child, I never liked it. I tried watching it recently and it was the worst for me.

whew...I feel better now. Had to get that off my chest.

I don't like it either. The only people that do it seems are the people that grew up watching it as a kid

I gotta be honest, I don't like this opinion.

But I also don't dislike it.

I'm in that weird in between area of not giving a shite.

I think it's good and it also ironically brings back memories of my grandparents, but I can't say I have an overwhelming desire to watch it again.

Everyone needs to watch the Dark Side of Oz at least once.

I graduated in 11. You should have heard of this and seen it. I'm sure it's on YouTube if you want to catch it after work.

Odd. I didn't know it was possible to be an adult who is even casually into any of:

a)the wizard of oz
b)classic rock
c)harebrained theories
d)drugs

and not have heard of it.

I graduated in 2013 and remember hearing about the Dark side of Oz in like middle school. Granted, it was an all white school where everyone had money and there was nothing better to do, but still.

Never did it, but I'm also a pussy.

I hate the Wizard of Oz also so you aren't alone.

I just watched it 2 nights ago with my grandkids - it's not very good.

Pros:
--a staggering level of technical proficiency for the era - I can't imagine what audiences must have thought when they saw the special effects and the sets (and the color!)
--tons of memorable/quotable moments/lines
--the witch is just legit scary. it's the woman herself, because she is terrifying even just as a human

Cons:
--horrific "golden age of hollywood" style diction and overacting
--the plot - especially after they get to Emerald City, is just a total mess
--ridiculous use of tropes and one dimensional characters - e.g. the traveling salesman in Kansas



TL;DR - the movie is worth watching to get the pop culture highlights, but overall isn't that great

You have an opinion. That's your right.

I don't have to like it. That's my right.
