No Brains. No Heart. No Courage. And, No Ruby Slippers!
To be honest – The Wiz was such a pathetic, gutless and downright despicable piece of putrid junk that it really only deserves nothing more than a minus-10 star-rating. Period.

With having nothing good to say about The Wiz, I really don’t quite know where to start tearing into it. To say that I hated this movie, in its entirety, would truly be an understatement.

From its forgettable songs, to its hammy performances, to its overlong dance numbers, to its grubby setting – The Wiz was, on all counts, a total embarrassment of lousy storytelling at its absolute nadir.

This film ultimately horks a slimy booger of contempt directly into the face of the original Wizard Of Oz from 1939 (as it also does at the book which was written by Frank Baum).

What inevitably wrecked The Wiz completely was, of course, the casting of Diana Ross as the contemptible Dorothy character. If ever there was a performance worthy of a “Razzie”, Ross’s Dorothy would, undoubtedly, be it.

You know, with the way I’m feeling right now, I’m absolutely sick of thinking about this absolutely crappy excuse for a movie-musical and, with that, I’m now gonna end my review by saying – Film-maker Sidney Lumet really should have been black-listed for his incompetent direction of this ultimate fiasco film.
