      It was awful. It was yet another trailer of a musical that didn't state that it was a musical. It didn't show the cast singing or dancing, which means that anyone that doesn't already know that it's a musical would go into it under misleading marketing, much like Wonka last year. And cutting a musical in two is just stupid, especially since the trailer showed scenes that only happened in the second act of the show (Defying Gravity is the Act 1 closer).

    They didn’t need to do this. Honestly, I love the theatre. When I Saw Wicked, part of what made it amazing was the way they designed the stage as a clock. VFX are overused. There’s some things that require an element of realism to make them seem more magical. The stage production has so many practical effects that really draw you into Oz, even though you’re just a person in a chair. I’d much rather them film a stage production of Wicked…

    I personally feel everyone at Shiz looks way too old. They’re supposed to be in early years at college. Jonathan, Cynthia and Ariana are in their 30’s. In addition, I don’t like how all the costumes are trying to be like the Wizard of Oz instead of embracing the color palette of the musical. Like why is Elphaba dressed completely in black at the beginning instead of the iconic blue outfit with the hat?
    I don’t know. I could keep going but like…I’m just worried.

  • @elephantbluepeter

    Okay. I don't want to make any pre-screening judgements but there are definitely some things I would've done differently, like I would've made it all one movie with an intermission for theatrical release only. I think Cynthia Erivo is super talented, but I don't know if she's the right one for Elphaba. I think she should've done "The Color Purple" instead of Fantasia, and I know Idina Menzel is 52 but I still would've had her as Elphaba with makeup and visual effects de-aging her like Sigourney Weaver in "Avatar: The Way of Water". I feel the same way about Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey and Michelle Yeoh, I would've done Amanda Seyfried as Glinda, Aaron Tveit as Fiyero and Meryl Streep as Madame Morrible. I also would've included Kristen Chenoweth and Joel Grey in the cast. Everyone can disagree but be respectful to me please, I'm just stating my opinion.

    You know a lot like to bring up Harry Potter with split movies. As far as I can remember this is the first finale that was split and it started a terrible trend of other movies. What people like to forget is Book 7 of Potter was 784 pages vs lets say Mockingjay was only 400. There was arguably no reason to have it split. Another around that time Divergent and Twilight both of which again did not need to be split. Harry Potter arguably this is the finale of a 10 yrs long journey that literally people like me grew up with it. I'm the same age as the actors. To give example it's like if Game of Thrones was a series of movies and not well a tv series and they decided to plit last movie because say too much to wrap up in one film but if they put it all together would be way too long.

      I don't really think it was all that necessary when HP did it. Book 4 would have been better off being split into 2 films than book 7. Even with Potter it was a cash grab. Book 7 was just a horcrux scavenger hunt + battle of Hogwarts + epilogue. That didn't need two movies.

    The casting looks pretty good, though I’m still not 100% on board with Grandes inclusion as Glinda, and I’m less than pleased they thought we needed a genderbent Pfanee since they weren’t that big a character at all, so why bother? Erivo as Elphaba seems alright. Goldblum as the Wizard is awesome though, love that. And Dorothy having silver slippers as she had in the original books and Maguires retelling rocks.
    I worry about the 2nd movie though, they seem to be throwing a LOT into this one. I know they’re putting in things from the book to flesh it out, but this was busy lol.

    Have seen Wicked 2x on stage. Chills both times, but a few things I noticed that I think factor in on this one:
    1. Every Elphaba is a little different on the riff at the end of DG. This will be no exception.
    2. I think this is going to adapt more like Les Mis did than any other movie adaptation. I think Part 1 will get more time to flesh out the friendship between Glinda and Elphaba, While Part 2 can expand on how Elphaba is behind the curtain more as the Wicked Witch, expanding on some of the twists of the act, maybe even giving Nessa more screen time in both to make Boq's fate even more surprising than it already is.
    I think the commitment to 2 no matter what allowed them to make choices that can benefit the narrative as a whole, similar to the change in placement for I dreamed a dream in les mis, and am interested to see this take, whether I couldn't be happier after, or am in such total detestation.

      You can have the witch played by a black actress, but you need to make it work visually. A little makeup. A little CGI. Boom. It can all work. What you can't do is cast two very different looking woman and just say 'these are sisters' and this one has green skin. This isn't Dr.Who. We will buy anything in Dr.Who because the show's writing and style make you a believer. In a high-budget movie that wants you to take it all seriously, it doesn't work.

    Let's face it - for decades the content of Hollywood came from Broadway! Busby Berkeley musicals, Mame, Music man, stories of Showgirls, The Jaz Singer (1st H'wood movie musical) - where do ya think Movies came from??? Books & PLAYS - duh! Broadway Musicals! AFTER the movies had Sound.. Until then Broadway and theater created musicals. This Wicked film will be continuing a Grand tradition. It has only been in the last 20 years that Disney made cartoons into Ice Shows & then Broadway shows, like The Lion King - and movies became Broadway shows like Mrs. Doubtfire and The Color Purple. As for Wicked? I was spoiled by funny goofy actresses as Galinda and can only hope Grande can cut it. I know nothing about Cynthia Eribe except that she has won Tony awards and has an amazing voice. I will give it the benefit of the doubt - so long as they did not make the "production" too lavish and too CGI to be enjoyed through my imagination like the stage show - all stage shows - do and did. Hollywood tends to ruin things (see Color Purple or CATS for example). Fingers Crossed!

    It's very difficult to hit those Idina Menzel notes, plus Cynthia Erivo just doesn't seem to fit the part. Ariana has proven for over a decade that she is clearly Glenda worthy and can belt the notes CORRECTLY...I'm afraid the difference in the abilities and their on-screen images will be too obvious when watching the movie. I hope I'm wrong!

    I feel like this movie is setup to fail only because everyone has been waiting to see the stage show brought to the screen. And this will essentially be a reboot of the stage show considering this will follow more of the novel’s narrative.

    • @SeekersLegacy
      @SeekersLegacy Před 4 měsíci

      No. They literally confirmed they’re not omitting ANYTHING from the stage show, nor any of the songs, with maybe a little bit of extra stuff from the book added. It’s literally true to the stage show first and primarily. In fact they confirmed they need two movies to ensure they don’t have to remove anything that was in the stage show.

      Cause the story does have 2 quite distinct parts that do work as their own thing IMO. especially the Musical.

    Well while Harry Potter is the best and most successful example of two movies, there are Hunger Games, Rebel Moon, Twilight, a number of films that end up with a boring and purely set up first movie and an incomplete all action sequel. And lets not forget how much can go wrong that will separate and alter a sequel again Harry Potter changing ending and characters, different directors with different visions of the stories, not to mention delays and reshoots often brought on by the criticisms of the first film.

    As the story goes, the Broadway version of the Music Man stared Bob Preston as Professor Harold Hill. Later when they were casting for the movie version, they approached Cary Grant to play the lead. Grant was reported as saying, "not only won't I play the lead in this film, if Bob Preston doesn't star in the role, I won't even go see it." The point being that by then in the minds of many Preston WAS Professor Harold Hill. This brings me to the question, were Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel not available to reprise their roles for this movie? It's highly disappointing we're not getting the best versions of the characters. Thank you DEI.
