Seems to me it's a sequel!  It is a movie based upon sequels to the book from
which the original movie was made.  You might as well say that return of the Jedi
is not a sequel because it was based upon a different script...

The Wiazard of OZ movie is in general an improvement over the book.  I wonder
if the new movie will do as well?
