Wicked (Jon M. Chu, 2024/2025) • Page 6

I think the lighting is the most fair criticism, along with the pacing / elongating songs and cutting in action sequences problem.

but despite those the movie is so good somehow. It really could have been an all timer and might be anyway.

 

Is every good song from this in this one lol? I saw the Broadway show years ago and vaguely remember most of the tracks and I feel like every one I like has happened already (or is Defying Gravity).

 

that is what people say, yes

may be new songs written for pt 2 I guess

 

No Good Deed and For Good are great.

 

But yeah, will be interesting to see what the reception is to the second half.

 

That was alright, I liked it more than I thought I was going to. Ariana was great, Jeffy G was great, Defying Gravity was great. Too long, kinda looked like shit throughout most of it. Some fun sets.

 

I love Jeff, but the Mount Rushmore style head of his in “the wizard and i” cracked me up and took me out of the scene completely

 

He was in a completely different movie. It was absurd, I laughed a lot.

 

I would of been very interested in this if they got the rights all those years ago

 

Digital on 12/31

 

Absolutely loved this - the set designs and practical effects were top notch and brought the whole world to life. I’m excited for Chu make a masterpiece in all respects down the road, he’s certainly working towards achieving that. Cynthia Erevos tone is just out of this world, The Wizard and I being a major highlight.

For Good is my favorite song from this, but the second half of this musical is notorious for being pretty forgettable/meh, so I’m actually hoping that with the extra runtime they’re going to be able to really improve on it, because there’s a lot of emotion to mine.

 

Wicked wins first GG for cinematic and box office achievement

 

Watched this for the second time last night and picked up on a lot more. This movie is so goddamn good.

 

I think losing out at the Globes kills any momentum this had for a surprise Oscar run

 

it wins the Oscar in my heart tho

 

They tend to say the Globes don't really have much of an impact on the Oscars, but... I don't think it will win much that it may be nominated for.

I still need to give this a rewatch!
