The things that happen in the third act are important to the story. It sets up Part 2. The characters that didn't add much to the plot will have important roles to the story in Part 2.
Oh okay! I was thinking earlier about what part 2 is going to be like knowing that the wicked witch doesn’t die at the end…maybe but now I’m a little more interested to see how they tackle part 2!
Wicked (the Broadway musical) is divided into two long acts. If the director wanted to tell the whole story in a single movie and still keep it faithful to the original play, it would have a 4 hour length. So it's two parts because the first movie is the first act of the play, and the second one will tell the second act.
@ I don’t either which is why I didn’t want to do the gladiator 2/wicked double feature 😂 tried it for the barbenhiemer but I was exhausted halfway through Oppenheimer 😂
We can tell you’ve never seen the stage production. Act I ends where the first movie ends. Part two will start where Act II begins. They also add in parts of the book that wasn’t in the stage production. You do know it started as a book. Also it’s a Broadway musical not a play. Those of us who are wicked fan understand all I have stated.
@@Miles_G_Reviews 2 hours and 30 minutes with a 15-minute intermission between the two acts, so that's 2 hours and 45 minutes. The first act, which this movie is based on, is 1 hour and a half.
@@Miles_G_Reviews That's the length of the movie if it adapted all of the musical at the same time, not the length of the original musical. Jon said that he doesn't want to cut out any elements of the musical while still expand on and dive deeper into the story, hence the 4 hours statement, and hence why there are two movies, with this one adapts Act I of the Broadway show, while part 2 adapts Act II. See how the movie's runtime is almost as long as the entire musical despite only draws from Act I?
I had the pleasure of seeing the movie and being at a Q & A with Jon M Chu. Being a massive fan of the musical I thought it was a wonderful part 1. Even though it did leave us on a cliffhanger part 1 feels like a solid movie that can stand on its own. That being said Wicked part 2 worries me a bit. It has all the payoff, but also does not have the introduction. You need to have seen the first movie in order for any of the plot to make sense. The first one you can assume that Elphaba flies off and embraces wickedness. The second act is more of a tie in into the 1939 film. Aka we get the Tin Woodsman and Scarecrow origin stories. Plus Madam Morrible becomes a much bigger threat.
As much as I hate waiting a year to see part 2, it means we get to grow up with the characters. There is a pretty large time gap between the first and second act and as a result the wait between films will only further that passage of time.
I have the same worries bc I’d say a good 90% of part 2’s or 3’s (depending on how they want to split it) do tend to be just pay off so hopefully Jon M Chu is able to stick the landing on not just being a continuation but also be able to make it have a proper flow that sticks the landing
I've never seen the plays but just seeing hte commercials with Cynthia makes me wanna check it out and I've never seen her in anything before so it'll be a first
I seen the reviews all said great movie definitely Oscar Contender and tracking hugh the hype really there could make close to billion dollars Me and my brother definitely gonna see at the theaters
I never thought it would make a billy however the last couple of weeks have made think it could, it would all have to depend on what the drop off is thanksgiving weekend ! I hope you and your brother come out enjoying it! It’s beautiful to see on the big screen!
@ it could make a billion but probably be hard cuz Moana 2 coming week after everyone predicted Moana 2 definitely be a billion but all that Speculation your thoughts on Moana 2 could hit a billion?
@ I think Moana 2 can hit a billion, it’s the most streamed movie, I think people have been wanting more, the reason why I’ll give it a 30% chance that it doesn’t hit a billion is because the review embargo doesn’t lift till Tuesday before the first showing (not sure if it’s true or not) but I don’t think the reviews good or bad would impact Moana 2 as much as like joker 2 or other not so good movies that have bombed this year
@ I heard a lot of people was upset at Joker 2 cuz it wasn’t really bout the beloved Batman’s villain from the comics it’s really bout some clown makeup guy with serious mental illness wasn’t the Joker anyway prove that end of the movie lost so much money at the box office barely beat The Marvels at the global box office seen the Marvels on Disney plus not good little bit better than Captain Marvel but not much did like Ms Marvel in the Marvels the Actress done a good job but still couldn’t save the film
@ that’s honestly something I never understood, maybe a lot of people didn’t see the theories after joker came out but Arthur not being the true joker didn’t surprise me at the end of Folix A Deux & I was surprised that a lot of people came out surprised at that reveal

Yeah I would not survive that musical😂 I’d be passed out at the 2 hr mark😂
@Miles_G_Reviews 😂😂 I usually don't like movies divided into II parts , but this one has a good reason for this

Play, Broadway musical, all the same too me. How long is this play??
