The tone varied. This was a darker approach than I remember the corresponding book being, but there was some darkness in many of the books. There was also a lot of pure nonsense, but not to the level of the 40s "Oz."

This was definitely more true though. Even the original Wizard book was kinda dark. Ironically, the cartoon series on HBO was MORE true than the live action one.

While I say this was darker, it wasn't largely darker. However, it's been almost a decade since I last read an Oz book, so I'm not sure how much more twisted it was.

Some of the characters in this rocked. I like Jack, though I was never partial to the Gump (The moose/sofa thing) or the chicken (I seem to recall she was more interesting in the book).
