Summary: Tin Man is brilliant modern version of Wizard of Oz
Comment: Saw this on science fiction channel as a three parter and just had to own it. Wonderfully done and so nice to see it all the way through without waiting or commercials. Have already played it twice more and my grandchildren love it.

Summary: Tin Man
Comment: I believe that the SciFi version of "The Wizard of Oz" has achieved its goal of providing a different look at the old film. Tin Man is an entertaining way of spending an enjoyable evening. The cast does a fine job of bringing out the new look for the individual characters. I willingly recommend it for those who wish to be entertained by a group of fine performances.

Summary: Great Remake
Comment: Very imaginative remake of the W of Oz. Fantastic "grown-up" concept of the old story that everyone knows. Really enjoyed it except for the terrible miscasting of Kathleen Robertson as the wicked witch, Azkadellia. Not sure if it was the corset or her lack of talent, but she was stiffer than a broomstick. Other than that, kudos to the team that gave this extraordinary work life as a TV miniseries.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Has strong & weak points
Comment: I was lucky enough to watch this when it first aired & I loved it from the start. This re-imagining (or a sequel, depending on how you look at it) of the Wizard of Oz had just about a little bit of everything. You had great CGI, amazing actors, and a pretty interesting plot. The premise of a young girl (who may or may not be the granddaughter of a well known WoO character, I won't spoil it) who travels to another dimension to save the O.Z. is not new, but the steampunk twist on it is.
That's not to say that everything was perfect, mind you. At times the plotline seemed to lag a little and there were many developments that seemed to be somewhat unexplained or left to the side in hopes of a sequel or tv series. Still, these are very minor flaws when looked at as a whole and ones that can be forgiven.
All in all, I recommend it. I enjoyed watching it and I enjoy owning it. I really think that the reviewers were a bit overly harsh in their reviews. Maybe it's not the Citizen Kane of tv miniseries, but it was never meant to be as such.
