Reviews
Critical reception for "Fantastic Return to Oz" has been generally unfavorable. On IMDb, the film holds a low rating of 3.6/10, indicating significant dissatisfaction among viewers. Critics have noted that while the movie's ambition to extend the Oz saga is commendable, it suffers from a convoluted plot and underdeveloped characters which fail to engage the audience deeply. The visual effects and set design received some praise for creating a vivid fantasy environment, but many found the storytelling lacking coherence and emotional depth. English-language reviews are limited due to the film's regional release, but Russian media outlets expressed mixed opinions, with some appreciating the nostalgic elements and family-friendly humor, while others criticized the pacing and script quality. Overall, "Fantastic Return to Oz" is considered a niche film that may appeal to younger viewers and fans of the original series, but it struggles to captivate a broader audience or live up to the legacy of the Oz stories.
