My theater Review
Movie theater was Bear pause and they had ads for about 20 mins and movie trailers as well before wizard of Oz well least it give you sometime to go to bathroom or get some Candy if you wanted something so that didn’t bug me at all it happens more In this era but I wonder if it would of been that long in 1939 not sure.
Anyway it was me and friend watching it and there was 8 or 9 other part watching this classic on big screen not like a huge crowd but good to see everybody still go and see this classic movie In theaters so that good point.
After getting though 20 mins of movie trailers and a few ads it started with that beautiful intro of movie still beautiful after many and many of years my first reaction was like in my mind here we go.
As soon as Dorothy run down the road with Toto on big screen my reaction was wow because again this was my first see it on big screen it was beautiful sound was good picture was still good for 1939 movie as soon we got to her singing somewhere over the rainbow 🌈 I heard this many times on tv but see her sing this song on big screen so much great and fun to listen to this classic song it was greatest moment watching it on big screen you probably would not see much a beautiful song as this one on big screen.
After that when Mrs. Gulch ride on bike and fence hit her in back we all had a nice laugh the theater did as well it was funny and after that the fight was again tough to watch that for sure
Going to skip to tornado part it sends chills watching it on big screen is more excited then watching it on tv I was at edge of my seat even though it was at theater it pretty amazing effects for theater from old old movie that for sure.
So when she gets to oz and open the door this another scene that was fun to watch in theater for first time it was most beautiful scene ever to see at theater in my view.
I am going to skip too close to the end here all way to flying monkeys so what was my reaction see it in theaters I thought it was a little scary but not too scary see it in theaters 🎠that for sure
What interesting is when they were rescue in Dorothy in the Castle the Tin man didn’t have a axe and 2 seconds later he had one in his hand a few laters I was wonder where it came from but then I figure that is indeed the magic of movies right there that for sure.
Well I got to final 15 mins I was thinking boy this movie goes by fast just like tv version your having a good time and it is about over I indeed have fun I did watching this on big screen here which I thought I would never see that for sure from start to end see this classic on big screen was indeed special to me that for if you do get a chance to see on big screen do so because you will indeed like it that for sure. So would I go see this in theaters if they show the movie with deleted scenes added I would but doubt we get that version anytime soon but I would go see again.
Alright that it for my theater review of the wizard of Oz 1939 coming up next will be deleted scenes Review only now because I review this movie many times so next to close out wizard of Oz day will be 1939 review of deleted scenes from wizard of Oz so see you in a bit for that.
note this was final Bear pause theater movie I see as not too long after it closed for good sadly.
I give wizard of Oz Theater view a rating of 8/10
