    Such a horrible movie. How could anyone make such a horrible remake of a classic movie? Pure garbage.

    I have to say this film is so underrated. The production design, costumes and performances for this film are incredible. And I literally shedded tears after experiencing Diana Ross’ solo song in the finally. Hoping this film gets a 4K upgrade, it would be amazing.
  • STILL A CLASSIC!!!

    The music is great. The acting is ok. The set and costume design is good but has a very creepy feel to it. I remember watching this as a kid and it’s still just as creepy today.
  • The King!!

    I somehow didn’t realize this was missing from my iTunes collection and decided it needed to be rectified immediately. Hopefully the HD looks better than the trailer. This film deserves to be shown in true HD.
  • Kinda weird but very much likable

    Watch it! There’s soulful music, you can’t miss Michael Jackson or Diana Ross being in the Wiz. I love it! I miss Michael and Diana. Although Michael did some bad things, he definitely had a whole lot of talent. Great!
  • Better than the Wizard of OZ

    This movie bombed when it came out. I went to see it in a theatre only to walk out thirty minutes into it. Years later I sat through the whole ponderout thing on dvd and realized I should have left twenty nine minutes before I did. While it does have some good songs everything else about this movie is horrible. From the production design to the special effects and the acting everything is sub par. Don't even get me started on Diana Ross who is more then a decade to old for the part. She alone is a big part of the failure of this movie.
