7 | 4h30m | PG | en | Adventure

Set in the spirit of L. Frank Baum's classic, the "Tin Man" follows the adventures of DG, a waitress and part-time student, as she travels through the mystical world of "The O. Z. (Outer Zone)", discovering her hidden past. This well-known story takes a twist in this SyFy adaptation as DG battles the sorceress Azkadellia along with the help of four friends; Glitch, a former adviser to the Queen whose brain has been removed; Raw, a psychic empath; and Wyatt Cain, a former police man (aka Tin-man) who has been imprisoned in an iron suit, forced to watch his family's destruction time and time again. Although parallels can be made to the original book this story takes its own path down the yellow brick road.

Reviews

copperncherrio This was entertaining but not mind blowing. Essentially it's the Wizard of Oz all over again but with a new twist. The plot is new and not fully explained. Zoey Deschanel plays DJ also the modern Dorothy. She's pretty emotionless and the story doesn't capture the your heart, but does well for the imagination.Now.For those hardcore, Wizard of Oz fans, you may not enjoy this, given that it uses the world of Oz to write the plot, but do not expect the original. With that said, the story is compelling and it would have been better if Zoey Deschanel had more emotion in life.

kingderella "Tin Man" is "The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz" re-imagined as a dark, epic steampunk fantasy. The concept of bringing out the darker undercurrents of a beloved children's tale reminded me a lot of the computer game "American McGee's Alice", although "Tin Man" isn't quite that violent. Another obvious influence is Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.It's a concept with the potential to be very entertaining, but it doesn't quite come together. The biggest problem is that "Tin Man" hasn't got any depth whatsoever - the original tale's messages are completely lost - and it doesn't have enough style to compensate for it's lack of substance.Some of the special effects just look cheap and some sets and costumes are terribly unimaginative. The cast isn't all that great either. Zooey Deschanel is adorable, but she makes a terrible action heroine, coming across as unintentionally clumsy and clueless. Worst of all is Raoul Trujillo as the laughable "Raw" (the character analogous to the Cowardly Lion). And the whole series just goes on for way too long.There are nice moments scattered throughout the series, such as the re-imagined Emerald City, and some of the actors do a pretty good job. But ultimately "Tin Man" is a wasted opportunity.

TheExpatriate700 Tin Man is an interesting update of the old Wizard of Oz story, with special effects and acting well above the Sci-Fi Channel's usual low standards. It is more akin to Battlestar Galactica (although not quite as good) than to their creature features. Zooey Deschanel, Kathleen Robertson, and Alan Cumming all turn in good performances, although Richard Dreyfuss fans should be warned that his role is smaller than advertised.The plot overall is well written, although at times rather predictable, especially in the third episode. There are some issues with the dialogue though, with some genuinely flat lines scattered throughout the series.In terms of younger fans of Baum, the plot might be a bit dark for the under ten set, but should be enjoyable for older kids, particularly teenagers with a taste for the bizarre.

Pumpkin_Man Go past the rainbow, and beyond the yellow brick road, because this is an extremely different version of 'The Wizard of Oz' There are very few similarities to the original. Everybody does an awesome job. DG (Dorothy Gale) is a waitress who feels that she doesn't belong in Kansas and dreams of a woman who tells her that a storm is coming. DG is caught in the storm, and lands in the O.Z. (Outer Zone) She befriends a man who doesn't have a brain named Glitch (Scarecrow) They find a man locked in an iron suit named Cain, who happens to be a cop. In the O.Z. they call the cops 'Tin Man' They also come across a creature named Raw that looks like a 'lion' who can see into the future. They find out that they must seek help from the Mystic Man (Wizard) so that they can defeat an evil sorceress named Azkadellia (Wicked Witch of the West) She can release flying monkeys from her breasts. DG rediscovers her past, tries to stop the witch, find Toto too, and begins to realize that home is where your heart is. I still love the original classic better! I highly recommend TIN MAN!!!
