Wicked Ratings & Reviews
- Joe Carrier29 maart 2026I loved the new play on the wicked witch in this film!
- Big Hulky16 maart 2026Wickedly decent with allegories scattered throughout the film. { Spoilers Below } Not the type of movie I usually get into. + CGI / scenary are phenomenally done. > The atmosphere / setting is amazing. + Most of the songs are good. - A few scenes dragged. > Elphaba's dance scene comes to mind. - The story is predictable. - The supporting characters are dull. > The only ones with characteristic effort are Elphaba/Galinda, and Fiyero. > Oz, Morrible, and Dr. Dillamond are decent as well.
- IRos13 februari 2026Hot take: I don’t like the wicked movie. I love the stage production so much, and the movie didn’t live up to my expectations. They changed so much in the movie. I don’t like Cynthia’s Elphaba. They gave her way too many riffs and I don’t like it. I feel like politically the musical (both stage and movie) is a big representation for propaganda, but I believe that the movie celebrates toxic body positivity, whether intentionally or unintentionally. In short, if you’re going to watch Wicked, watch the stage production, it’s way better.
- vangh113 december 2024Every musical number is simply magical, choreography, performance, and set design all come together to make everything look and feel seamless and effortless when of course it's anything but. Both lead performances feel exactly perfect for the character, you get who they are and you buy in. I'm not generally a fan of the whole "Part 1" and "Part 2" release trend (if you're a movie, be a movie. If you're not, be a series) but at least this one warned us on the title card.
- parktool6931 december 2024Perfection. They killed every part of this. Didn't care for the guy from bridgerton. His face freaks me out.
- Lindsay Ashton-Smith17 april 2025Amazing. Can't wait for part 2
- rg94001 januari 2025Wicked's marketing intentionally hides that it is a Part 1, with none of the official posters or titles using that subtitle. However, as soon as the title card appears, it's clear this is just one half of a larger story. And it feels like it. However, I will say that unlike Dune, this movie does have a climactic ending that seems like a natural peak to the central character arc in this movie. Regardless, coming in at 2 hours and 40 minutes, this half is as long as the entire Broadway musical. Now, I haven't seen the Broadway play or read the book, so I can't really comment on what it adds to flesh out the story. However, it does feel its length, with a variety of scenes feeling a bit superfluous. Because they are clearly saving up major conflicts and moments for the second half, there also seems to be a lot of arcs that feel underserved within this movie. It's hard to comment on the setup done in this movie without seeing the second part, but that in of itself is a natural flaw in deciding to split it into two. I thought the interactions between Galinda and Elphaba were great, but I wasn't as engaged when Fiyero or Nessa were on screen. I think the movie could have spent more time developing some of the sociopolitical commentary. I liked the concepts, but they felt very surface-level in the movie. For such a long movie, it almost feels easy to forget they even exist considering the limited screentime. I get that the focus is on Elphaba, but her story easily parallels those elements. A few other comments from my side. I'll readily admit that this type of music is not my taste, and I found most of the songs either forgettable or annoying, but I liked the choreography in them. I think the set design and costuming is really great, but the lighting ruined so much of it. It feels way too brightened, washing away all the contrast and bright colors. I was the most impressed with Ariana Grande. I went in with very low expectations, but her performance and comedic timing was fantastic and the highlight of the movie for me. Overall, this is an entertaining movie that feels underserved by the decision to split the story into two movies.
- John F. Doran9 februari 2026The voices floored me. I saw this on Broadway with Chenoweth and Menzel and didn't think it would be possible to best that... the movies did so in a wonderful way.
- Curtis Jones9 maart 2025I didn’t know anything about this movie but I was NOT disappointed. I loved it. What an emotional roller coaster! 5/5
- David Watkins Sr.8 juni 2025loved this show (even if it was a little too long).
- hqnmf325 april 2025Perfection. All I have to say is perfection. Wouldnt change a single thing about it and I can’t wait for wicked: for good! Ariana and Cynthia were so moving and had amazing chemistry💚🩷
- Exit233 februari 2026BEST MOVIE EVER HAVE SEEN AT FIVE TIMES GO CYNTHIA AND ARIANA🤩🤩
- Bjørn Erik Poppe Thorsen6 augustus 2025Loved it!
- Varun5 december 2024This genre isn’t my usual cup of tea but it was a decent watch. The production design went completely bonkers, with gigantic set pieces filled with a variety of colours and intricacies, it easily captures you into its fantasy word. Some sets were a visual feast but I think others looked a bit too manufactured and flat, it needed more style as well as coarseness to stay grounded. Most Part 1 movies these days have a self-contained entertaining plot, I can’t say the same here as the first 2h10m are just an establishing backstory with only the last 30 minutes seeing some thrilling moments. I did get a bit tired from the runtime, however I can’t say each minute of the movie isn’t spent well, the characters and relationships are strongly developed and have their different arcs. I watched this in IMAX and was bummed that some of the songs’ lyrics didn’t have clarity, so I was completely lost as to what they were saying which is crucial to the plot. It could be that the sound wasn’t mixed well, or the voices sound muddled when it’s too loud or maybe my hearing just sucks. The musicals are just alright, didn’t personally find anything catchy. The only 2 musical scenes I remember a week later is the library one because it had some cool and fun choreography and the dance party which was beautifully presented with emotions. All the actors are on their A game. The costumes and makeup are on point. The movie does a pretty good job of handling humanity’s xenophobic tendencies. The humour is chill, it could be better. Although the outcome is obvious, the ending is very riveting and the VFX is fantastic, it’s got me enthused for Part 2. This is definitely worth the IMAX experience.
- mickerdoo19 januari 2026Not the target audience. Not big on musicals. Some talented leads but I wasn’t big on it being so bright and whimsical. Goldblum is cool.
