Why was it unnecessary?


Because it was awful. Bottom line.

Horrible movie and so unnecessary.

Black Cinema adaptation of the Broadway Hit The Wiz was very necessary for Black Cinama Movement and was innovative during its time.

I agree MsLegs. It was necessary at the time to make the movie.

I don't care for the movie because it tends to D R A G!

It is a cult classic. Cult classics you either get or you don't. i liked this movie, but mainly for the songs. Luther Vandross co wrote "can you feel a brand new day" and can be heard singing on the track. Brings back good memories from childhood.

This movie may be a little long, but the songs and the colors and the urban-fantasy take on the whole story is incredible.

Perhaps, this is due to the fact that this perspective is in a different time loop. People can think alot with a time on their hands. :shrug eek

i think what upsets most folks is that this film is a true urban musical...it was not watered down to appeal to mainstream america and for that i thank Sidney Lumet.
