Cheer up, buddy.

Should've been a biopic called Joan directed by Sofia Coppolla

Saw it for the first time a few days ago. Without trying to spoil it for anyone, the ending basically goes the root of erasing characters you spent the whole movie becoming attached to. It's like if the open scene of Aliens 3 was the of the movie Aliens.

GOAT Christmas movie

I haven't seen it but from what I hear from you sounds like it's a good one.

Im pissed i didnt get to watch thr 70mm version at the Metreon SF. They were sold out every day 3 months in advanced. And then they didn't extend the 70mm version only the Digital laser was extended 1 more week.

9\ 10 entertaining movie I love it I don't think kids Little kids would like movie it is good for adults as well as teenagers as adult I enjoyed it I like Dwayne Johnson

I am watching it Tomorrow. Thanks for the update

Wicked part 2 is going to enable people to see how amazing the story is. Part one has been fantastic. I’ve seen the musical so many times on the stage. I’ve seen the film three times now and I’m so glad I have. I keep listening to the soundtrack. I am a wicked mad. I’m 61 years old and I’m not ashamed to say it. The girls did amazing absolutely amazing. I’m so proud of them and they should be proud of them themselves too. The music was fantastic. I just knew Stephen Schwartz was not going to let his amazing musical be ruined.

I think the whole idea is ridiculous. Makes no sense. Why does Hollywood put these idiotic spins on the classics. This movie resonates with the college educated and Ariana Grande people. The character of the wicked witch is lost. Don’t get it. Everything in this movie is all computerized graphics. Not real. It is a liberal spin on the beloved Wizard of Oz. Leave the Wizard of Oz alone let it be. Hollywood make your original musicals like they did in that era. Your smart!!!!!!! Try it.

Okay guys, I’m halfway through your unbearable pile-on discussion and have to check out. I’m glad you liked the first movie, it’s one of my favorites. But with the new film, you have crossed some line where your perception is no longer unbiased and everything is cast in a negative light. Not helpful, and doesn’t make for an enjoyable discussion.

Maybe over time people will recognize the deeper themes at play in this film and how timely they are to the condition of the masculine spirit in our own time.

What can one say about the direction of today's film industry when the top three money-making films are sequels and prequels??? it doesn't look good to me.

This movie was almost ALL practical sets, which is incredibly impressive and made it 100x better.

The play is fantastic. Give it a try.

It gets 9.9 on the sphincter scale.

The whole point of Wicked is that the original Wizard of Oz painted the wrong picture of The Wicked Witch of the West. Think of the original movie as one person's distorted interpretation of events. Wicked offers a different interpretation.

This move is gay stuff for gay people with two very annoying unlikable woman starring also. Just very odd that hetero reviewers watch this sort of stuff. I really disapprove of the entertainment industry trying to shove gay stuff down hetero's throat..like we must all now have loose sexual morals and loose gender moral because that way they can make way more money. Just a big NO to that. Also it cost them enormous amounts of money because audiences do not fall for it.

2:27 Small spoiler here - that's the whole idea. A big part of the plot, Elphaba is a sorry excuse for a witch, that's what makes her a tragic figure.

Just saw it. Loved it.

2.40hours? Nope.

Agree 100%. Sorry to hear about the disrespectful people in your theater. Also, to those who say 'don't compare it' -- this film constantly compared itself to the first film with flashbacks and musical callbacks. The music actually annoyed me a lot. It was as if Ridley was saying, 'Remember how you felt when you first heard this tune?' and all I could think was, 'Yes. And you have not earned that same emotional reaction with this one.' You can't just play the music from a good film to make a bad one better.

Its rubbish, they paid you to say this, how much.

So, I get where you are coming from with Elphaba, but she actually isnt supposed to be a witch the way the Wizard of Oz portrays her. The point of the Wicked show is that the people dont like her because she is different or "othered" and the people need an enemy. The book is political and so it mirrors the themes of are people born wicked or do they have wickedness thrust upon them? The show has a lot to do with odds stacked against someone who is different until she's is kind of like, fine if they want different, then that's what they get.

she's not supposed to be nasty in the future, the story is about how ordinary, good characters are villainised -- it's ironic

Man they sure know how to make movies nobody wants to watch

I have seen. It’s awful

I'm glad you warmed up to it. 🙂 I think you're gonna appreciate WICKED: PART TWO (2025), as well.

This is more of a retelling than a prequel - Dorothy arrives in Part 2 which gets pretty - dark.

Good review! But, how did you come up with 72? Not 71. Not 73. 72. 😅 I would have watched another 5 minutes to see just how you broke it down.

Sorry totally distracted by this guy’s kissable lips. Especially that bottom lip.

There is still gonna be part 2 which will REALLY showcase how she becomes fully bitter and wicked. Part 1 was mainly just backstory and how she got branded as the wicked witch

What did I Ariana do to you ?

Ariana Grande the Queen of Pop.

2.5 hours to get to Defying Gravity? Nah.

Not you posting this well before the embargo lifts 💀

Interesting hearing a review from someone who doesn’t know the musical and what happens. If you can’t see her playing a witch in the second movie you will be surprised as to why you can’t see her as that. I’d be interested on a reply after you see it. Glad you enjoyed the movie. I’m so used to reading things online that are negative that I’m rereading what I wrote and it’s not supposed to be negative, but it sounds negative to me, and I know it isn’t. Lol.

Time for the musical to disappear again.

In the second part, it is DARK! Like she fully becomes evil in part 2. My favorite song in the whole musical is in part 2 and it’s where she becomes wicked and it’s such an amazing powerhouse of a somg

If you haven't seen John Chu's in the Heights I highly recommend it, he is very good at filming musicals.

Don’t worry about it ruining The Wizard of Oz. It is not based on it and is only very loosely based on the characters and connections. Just like the book Wicked, The Life & Times of The Wicked Witch of the West is very loosely based on the broadway show and this movie. That book I mentioned is extremely dark, graphic and violent, completely different than this movie/broadway play.

I was worried it would ruin the wizard of oz for me but now I am so excited

Good to see you enjoyed it. This movie is for musical theater lovers, but it's so good to see people who have never heard or seen the original play enjoying it too!

What a great review. Your honestly and personality is perfectly suited for this field. Awesome to find your channel! Looking forward to checking out more of your reviews...

always good to hear when people who claim not to be in a movie's demographic are able to enjoy and appreciate the film for what it is. i think opinions like yours are more valuable compared to people who are biased for or against it. thanks for sharing your thoughts! as for not buying that elphaba will one day be an evil witch: the story of wicked obviously differs from the wizard of oz in many ways, and one of them is how the witch is perceived by the citizens of oz vs. what she actually does, and since wicked is elphaba's pov we get to see how she gets her reputation as the wicked witch and decide for ourselves whether or not her actions/intentions make her "evil." the witch in the original wizard of oz was pretty much just there to be mean for the sake of it

Really honest and fair review. Your point on Cynthis not being wicked enough- her being wicked is actually from the perspective of the political spinning and manipulation by the Wizard. Hopefully when you see the second part, it will all click into place. Thanks for a great review though! Interesting to hear from someone not into broadway etc

Thank you for keeping an open mind and letting the film speak for itself.

Out of ten? A big red one.

Thanks for the review !
