Somebody else who remembers Return to Oz! (Okay, granted, I haven't read the Frank L. Baum books, just historical critique of them and of Baum's work as a window dresser. My academic career has been a strange one.) I adored that movie, and I really, really need to watch it again.
I had a mixed reaction to Tin Man and I probably do need to watch it again to decide whether I truly liked it or not. Bits of it felt too clunky, and it felt a bit like it could have been and wanted to be grander than it turned out to be.
That said, there were a lot of elements that I loved--Glitch, definitely (like you said, how can you go wrong with Alan Cumming?), and I always have a thing for the strangely assorted trio of characters like Cane & Glitch & Raw. I really liked Cane's relationship both with Glitch and with DG--it was really quite sweet. And I kinda dug the fact that Az turned out not to be the baddie, in the end; it made her character a lot more interesting.
Oh yes, and it took me forever to realize that was Rothman. Kudos to the actor--I just kept staring at him and going "Where do I know you from??"
