New Wicked Movie - Opinion?
- Thread starter Beernuts
- Start date
I took my wife. I thought it was good but I also have never seen the musical or knew anything about it before watching Part 1 and Part 2. Part 1 is better but its not like Part 2 stunk.
Same. I never knew the story before the movies. Only thing, I thought the movie had too many ending scenes...just when you thought it was over...another scene....and another scene...and no, this is the final scene, wait there is still one more scene.
Great movie making and a clever story.
My better half and myself volunteer at the local Bijou. Hadn't seen Part I, but anyone who knows the classic film - like us - can easily catch on.
Thought skeezy old Jeff Goldblum wasn't terrible as the Wizard.
Not enamored of anyone else in the film. Then again, I am not one for Broadway musical glitz. Just the luck of the draw that I saw this one.
It's a nice movie to go see with your tweenage daughter/son or grand-daughter/son, though, if they want to see it.

Wife and daughters went yesterday, and the loved it. It’s not my thing, but they really enjoyed it.
Jeff Goldblum can be a little Jeff Goldblumy at times but I think he does well as the wizard.
Meh. Not like I had to pay any money to see it.
Have to say, I don't like most of the Marvelesque shlock crap either, exceptions being Venom 3 and the last Guardians of the Galaxy, in that genre.
I do wanna say that the best movie I've seen during my volunteer gig has been "Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile". Hilarious. (and no, Wicked is no Lyle, Lyle)
There's really only one scene added to the end that the musical doesn't have, IIRC.
One of the best musical adaptations to the screen IMO. I wasn't thrilled when they announced Ariana Grande as Glinda but I thought she knocked it out of the park. I wasn't as impressed with who the Fiero casting for the movie. Not horrible but just didn't buy him really.
Only real criticism would be the songs they added that weren't in the Broadway version were pretty underwhelming. All of the Broadway songs are full of life and power and really add to the story through the lyrics. The ones they added didn't really do anything IMO.

Got to love the posters who go out of their way to enter a thread just to let everyone know they hate something.Who peed in your cheerios?
The OP asked for opinions. That can be either positive or negative.
This is America. People have all sorts of opinions without any real knowledge of a subject. Freedom baby!
