He was truly the star that shined in this film. I never thought Diana Ross was a good actress. Fantastic singer yes. I do have to disagree about how young they made her look though. She looked all of her 35 years in this film. For the most part this was a very self indulgent movie and does not stand the test of time as the original does.

She can certainly act despite your worthless opinion. If Miss Ross wasn't a brilliant and outstanding actress she wouldn't have been Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Leading Actress in her VERY FIRST film role "Lady Sing the Blues" nor would she have been Nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Lead Actress in her made for TV film "Out of Darkness". <br><br>Although Michael Jackson was OUTSTANDING in THE WIZ I also feel others shined just as much like Mable King, Ted Ross, and Nipsey Russell. <br><br>THE WIZ is by far one of the most visually dazzling, musically entertaining, well acted films in the last 30 years. Its just so pathetic that dumb critics that want to constantly compare this Splendid beautiful film to the old boring out dated 1939 White bread version. It is for that reason that THE WIZ has never been able to stand on its own merits and shine like the Golden Brick Road that makes it so special.

Although Michael Jackson was OUTSTANDING in THE WIZ I also feel others shined just as much like Mable King, Ted Ross, and Nipsey Russell.
