October 31, 2009some good songs - "ease on down" and "brand new day". some good characters - michael jackson, nipsey, and ted ross. however, diana ross seemed really old. the overall feeling is dark and dirty, and a lot of songs are long and slow and drag on. can see some foreshadowing of mi...( read more)

October 20, 2009i thought it was a pretty good remake of the original version and including a few twists and new featuers to the movie, i did think it was a bit long though it would have been better it if was a bit shorter, and it was different seeing it played by an all black cast which was goo...( read more)

September 3, 2009I can see the appeal of this musical and it was a good twist on such a famous story, but for some reason it didn't speak to me.

August 16, 2009I know what everyone is thinking. But fracking frack! I watched this movie again for the first time in about 20 years and I LOVED it! And it's not just because of dead MJ. Or dead RIchard Pryor. But I love the costumes and the bizarre creatures, and the AMAZING music! It's ...( read more)

August 11, 2009Such a sweet movie! It must have been so fun to make. The music was darling; kudos to Quincy Jones for that one, made me want to dance! The sets and the costumes were lovely. Happy to see Diana Ross and Michael Jackson in a movie together! Michael did a fantastic job (glad to see...( read more)

July 30, 2009This is basically like the ghetto version of "The Wizard of Oz." Some words came to mind while watching this like funky, psychadelic, and bizzare. It's quite an elaborate production for sure. I was in awe of the sets and costumes. It was fun to watch and Michael Jackson was reall...( read more)

July 27, 2009A Motown production, got some nice songs here too. Michael Jackson is so young here! This was before he teamed up with Quincy to make Off the Wall... loved him as the scarecrow.

July 11, 2009Dorothy (Diana) is caught up in a cyclone when she chases her dog. She ends up in the urban version of Oz. Michael Jackson plays the scarecrow.

July 11, 2009seen a the beginning of it but never would have suspected MICHEAL JACKSON in it!!!
-
July 10, 2009The acting was a bit rough around the edges but overall a great message and feel good music!!!
-
July 9, 2009It's cheesy and not as good as the original wizard of oz. But still a fun movie to watch..it's amazing to watch this movie--it had a lot of big name greats!! I loved MJ of course! :)
My favorite line is by Richard Pryor= to the lion "what can I do for you, you overstuffed animal...( read more) -
July 5, 2009Diana Ross and sweat shops makes for great dance tunes with lots of energy.
-
July 2, 2009Michael JAckson and Diana Ross really were great together in The Wiz.
-
June 29, 2009I read someone else's comments on the Wiz that I totally disagree on and would like to comment on. Someone said that the film was racist and that only black people appeared in the movie. That is very untrue. The movie has a mixture of both black AND white people, and if you think...( read more)

June 28, 2009This movie was a favorite when I was a shortie and still is. I wish I had a copy of it and I woul put it in right, ecspecially since I am in mourning for the one who is no longer with us...Micheal Joseph Jackson. RIP 1958-2009

June 26, 2009It was bizarre but I liked it; I really like Mabel King a lot, almost as much as I like Margaret Hamilton.
-
June 26, 2009Horrifying and suspenseful. Great music and great performances by Michael Jackson and Ted Ross. However, the film is poorly edited and Diana Ross, despite her ambitious performance, is far too old for the part.
-
June 17, 2009random as hell take on the wizard of oz story, tries so hard to be different it loses sight of the core morales that made the original a success. Its worth a watch for some odd quirky laughs but mostly its dissapointing.

March 26, 2009hmmm. Hard to review this film as I got bored within the first five minutes. I thought the whole storyline was pointless. They should just leave the Wizard of oz alone I don't think there could ever be a better version then the original with Judy Garland!

March 13, 2009Now this is how you put some soul on that yellow brick road! "Down no'body bring me...No BAD NEWS!"

March 6, 2009A bizaare movie that gives a new look at the wizard of Oz with a 70's twist.
