After seeing the Broadway musical, this hardly compares to the incredible stage version. The voices were amazing but it stops there. It was way too long for my grandchildren (11 & 14 ) they barely made it through the end. If the musical was only 2 hours long why did they have to extend this to what will be a 5 hour movie. I don't plan on seeing part two & I don't think it deserves an Oscar.

This movie was wonderful. To those who think it is a 'remake' of the 1939 original are sadly mistaken. The whole point of this movie is to give some background about "why" - why she's green, why she's 'wicked', why people turned out the way they did, etc. - like we say, it answers questions you didn't even know you had. The casting, acting, directing and singing were A+ - can't wait for 'part 2' next fall.

The one who played the wicked witch was spooky, She looked nothing like Margaret Hamilton. She looked more like Grace Jones at the end of VAMP. Spooky. James Corden wasn't in this because he was too busy eating emergency food shipments meant for the needy in war-torn countries.

Those looking for a modernized version of the original will be disappointed, but this spin on the original story was well made, well acted and good fun! I'm a critic of Disney's woke-ness, but they managed not to irritate me with it this day and I would be surprised if an Academy Award for Best Actress doesn't come this way! The music was amazing too!

So obviously anti-racist no one dare critisize this woke adaptation of Oz. Challenging if you are a moron. Needed captioning to understad song lyrics. Embarassing to even try to compare with the 1939 original. I really am concerned with the intellect of our youth when this gets a 95 user review. Waste of time. Go see Red One if you want an entertaining Holiday movie! That movie was a pleasant surprise and did not try to imprint wokish agendas.

Complete reversal of the original as far as charactors. The Bad witch was made to be actually a good honorable witch, the good witch was not made to be bad, but not really good either. Made her to be completely self-absorbed brat. And the wizard, who was a kindly old man willing to risk his life to take Dorothy home, was made out to be an evil fraud who wanted to rule the world using the bad witch's powers. Wow. How screwed up is that??
