I think it would have been more captivating with less singing. My husband used that time as an intermission to get more refreshments, just like they use to have. Lol

A bit over the top. Singing was good but there were too many songs. It did get better in the second half but I was tempted to get up and walk out during the first 25 minutes. At least we only had to pay $5 per ticket!

I saw the play Wicked so know the story but this adaptation of the play is astounding. Great scenery, singing and dancing. Must have Costco’s a fortune to produce and this is only Part 1. I had never heard of Cynthia Ervo but she is just as great as Arianna Grande. As you can tell I enjoyed it and watched in Panavision which I had never seen before either.

I saw the musical of "Wicked" years ago and liked it, but this movie adaptation blew me away. Everything looked amazing from the costumes to the sets and felt real, no fake CGI feeling. You could see all the production value up on screen just like a classic movie musical.
As for the music and the singing--- wow! I went in never having heard of Cynthia Ervo and only knowing Ariana Grande from pop music. Both of them are fantastic. The range and emotion is just unreal. The secondary characters were excellent too. I loved how the music and visuals compliment each other and the dancing is so innovative.
There aren't a lot of movies that I want to watch all over again the moment I leave the theatre, but this one I immediately wanted to experience all over again.

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.
