This could've been a nice stageplay

Keep the same players, the majority of the script, and maybe even a handful of the same directorial techniques, put them in a play and you probably could've had something much more entertaining, not to mention profitable.

Screenplay could have been much, much better, but the performances were OUTSTANDING. Boseman shows he's got some amazing acting and dancing chops. And I'm really glad they remastered James' songs, but elected to have Boseman lip synch rather than sing. It added to his performance.
