I'm 14, I wasn't SCARED...but I dunno, I preferred the first one. I grew up watching the original. And now I watch it in drama class and their being attacked by WALL COLUMNS? And the motorcycle monkies? The the evil witch was just plain frightening. Creative...very creative...but disturbing...

Oh and when they melted the tin man!! Poor thing...

Yeah, there's some pretty wierd stuff in that film. I saw it when it was first released in the theater. I was only 4 or 5 at the time.

The parts I found most scary were the scenes with The Wiz and the scenes with those giant pink "monsters" chasing them through the subway. To this day I still haven't figured out what they are suppose to be.

I found the evil witch more funny than scary.

My only complaint was the casting of Diana Ross as Dorothy. Dorothy is suppose to be a teenager, and Diana Ross was pushing 40 when they filmed that. She was also wearing the ugliest dress I had ever seen.

There are very few movies I do not like. In fact, I'll even watch movies I don't like twice, just to give them a second chance. But I can say honestly, I HATE THIS MOVIE!

I hate it, hate it, hate it. The first movie screwed up the story enough, but it was so cute I have to forgive it. There's nothing cute here. I'm from Detroit (Motown, hello!) so of course I love Diana Ross, but this movie was painfull. Bad story, bad costumes, bad sets, bad music. How I ever managed to make it through the whole thing amazes me. Possibly the one movie I hate more is TOMMY.
