Tin Man is a great movie. I was very pleased that Sci-Fi could produce such a wonderful story. Both the actors and storyline were "original" in effect. I was amazed at the moral value of the story. Good hearts, good friends, true hardship, true lifestyles. I can't place enough emphesis on the characters moral championship and not just good versus evil. The subtle tone of the things learned was where every viewer is challenged to think it out, not just have the movie hand over a synopsis of "why so and so did so and so." I would like to say that Zooey portrays a wonderful heroine. All heroes don't have to start at the bottom of their personalities to make a story. DG has very strong traits to begin with and makes complete sense when you learn her background and inherant family traits. Women can be portrayed as strong, logical and unflustered by crisis and grow from there. Heroes are what we love for being themselves and being better at being themselves. I loved this movie and love talking about the nuances of the storyline. What good would it be if we said "oh that was good" and was never changed.

Movie itself was fantastic, interesting twist on an old tale. My biggest problem was not the story itself but that there was no Closed Captioning, I am hearing impaired and without the CC I find myself missing parts of the dialougue.

Our family loves this new (hip-hop) modern 2000's version of the Wizard of Oz. This is not the sweet, loving, cute and cudley version of the Wizard Oz, this Oz is called the O.Z. Although a sci-fi movie, the kids loved it. They understood the meanings and if they didn't they asked. Our kids love these kinds of stories, movies and shows. Don't get me wrong, some families do not allow their kids to see these kinds of movies or shows. Always preview movies BEFORE you purchase them. It is well worth the time and money to rent a flick to MAKE sure that you want to buy it for your collection. My husband and I decided to get this for Christmas and when the kids saw a preview for this movie before they watched another movie and they said 'I wish we had that movie so we could watch it', we felt good knowing that we at least got one thing they wanted.

I was unsure whether I would like this movie, but after watching it loved it. The characters, even though obviously parallelling the Wizard of Oz story, are in their individual ways different. The imagery and story are for our times, while still retaining the integrity of the original story, even down to the flying monkeys. Very entertaining, and especially love Glitch as the man without a brain. I would recommend this movie to anyone that likes a bit of fantasy and a good story.
