I don't expect it to adhere to real world logic when it comes to the fantasy elements of the movie - e.g., applying real world logic, Elphaba's second spell should have cause

Grande isn't funny, Erivo isn't interesting, and they both look blank 90% of the time.

What are people crying about? How is this movie touching people??

It isn't a trainwreck or anything, but it's hardly Oscar worthy.

And they barely changed

I have to agree with you here. I thought the lead performances were incredibly tame compared to how sparkling and alive the roles are played on Broadway. Andbefore anyonewants to fight me on this and say it’s a movie, it is still a Broadway musical, and I wish it had more of that Broadway quality in its leads

Voter said: "Haven't seen much but praise here, but I for one really couldn't stand this. Constantly busy, with hideously bright visuals, and a completebombardment to the senses. Doesn't justify its endless running length, which adds little to the plot except long dance breaks,overly pregnant "this moment is important" pauses,and boring shots likeone where we have to watch Glinda and Elphaba walk the ENTIRE hall to the Wizard. Ariana sounds genuinely awful tryin

I’m going to come out and say this, and draw the line in the sand now.

anyone who says they killed the momentum in defying gravity, or messed it up, is objectively wrong. WRONG.

They nailed it, they did it brilliantly. It was so thrilling, so moving, they gave it room to breathe, and space for Cynthia to really show growth, character, and vulnerability. 
 

I don’t make the rules, but in this case… there is a wrong opinion

Chowd95 said: "I saw this last night at a packed screening and I've gotta say it lives up to the hype. I've seen Wicked on tour probably 8 or 9 times in the last 20 years and have played the soundtrack to death so I am very familiar with the show. The great thing about the movie is that they literally have cut next to nothing in terms of music and dialouge beats. All your favorite lines are here. All of the music you love is here. The actors GET this material. I think anyone

It's infuriating how some opinions are not only deemed unacceptable but ripe for further accusations, assumptionsand outright dismissal. If you don't like her opinion, fine, grow up and move on. Thought this topic was about her amazing performance in a stunning production?"

What's wrong with them? They look fine..."

They just look so… bad. Pollypocket, preschool style. Not using mini figs. Not detailed or complicated seeming. 

I really thought they’d give us something nice for the adult fans who grew up with Wicked.&
