Movie Review: Wicked

Set in the Land of Oz, largely before Dorothy Gale's arrival from Kansas, the plot covers the events of the musical's first act, following green-skinned Elphaba's studies at Shiz University and the beginning of her path to ultimately becoming the Wicked Witch of the West, alongside an unlikely friendship with a classmate who later becomes Glinda the Good Witch of the North.

I just got a fantastic experience watching the Wicked movie! The energy of a live musical really translates well on the big screen and it brought so much joy and excitement to me while watching it. The combination of stunning visuals and captivating performances will definitely makes for an unforgettable cinematic experience especially for the fans of musical, fairy tale, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Ariana and Cynthia shine brilliantly in Wicked, embodying their roles with passion and authenticity, making for a captivating duo that keeps the audience engaged from start to finish. The film's meticulous attention to detail and expertly crafted screenplay deliver a resonant message, especially highlighted in the breathtaking final scene. As an extravagant musical, Wicked truly embodies everything one hopes for in a movie musical, providing a joyful experience that leaves viewers smiling and applauding throughout.

 

My Verdict: 4.5/5
