7. I liked it...

and I appreciated the nods to the original.

I saw it with my kids, and they liked it a lot, which always increases my enjoyment of movies.

I'm not a huge fan of CGI, which it's full of, but overall it felt old-fashioned enough that I didn't mind too much.

The characters were likable (the good guys, anyway, which is how it's supposed to be, right?), and the story was good (I've never read the Baum books, so I don't know how true the story was to the books).

I would say it's totally worth it to watch once Netflix sends the DVD. I'd gladly see it again.
