Wicked
Directed by Jon M. Chu
Wicked är den oberättade historien om häxorna i Oz. Elphaba, en ung kvinna, missförstådd på grund av sin ovanliga gröna hud, har ännu inte upptäckt kraften inom sig. Glinda, en populär ung kvinna, förgylld av privilegium och ambitioner, har ännu inte upptäckt sitt sanna hjärta.

Wicked Ratings & Reviews
- Joe Carrier29 mars 2026I loved the new play on the wicked witch in this film!
- Big Hulky16 mars 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.
- 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.
- ConnorR13 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.
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- Curtis Jones9 mars 2025I didn’t know anything about this movie but I was NOT disappointed. I loved it. What an emotional roller coaster! 5/5
- Exit233 februari 2026BEST MOVIE EVER HAVE SEEN AT FIVE TIMES GO CYNTHIA AND ARIANA🤩🤩
- 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💚🩷
- 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.
- Julie Jones12 januari 2026The film is about good and evil, how one can be deceived by how things can seem, how the wicked deceive in secret, lie and slander and that everything that glitters beautifully is not always good. Cynthia Erivo's Elphaba is a kind young woman navigating a world that judges her for simply existing. Her journey through prejudice, misunderstanding, and self-acceptance is both heartbreaking and empowering. I would recommend everyone watches this!
- Max10 januari 2026Wicked once again proves that sometimes it’s better to tell a new story rather than simply remake the original. Instead of retelling The Wizard of Oz, the film explores its backstory from a completely different angle — showing that the “generic villain,” the Wicked Witch, might not be evil at all, and that there may have been deeper reasons behind her so-called evil actions. This approach strongly reminded me of Maleficent, and while Wicked may not reach the same emotional depth, it still tells a compelling and fresh story. The musical numbers elevate the film even further — they’re colorful, energetic, and genuinely fantastic. My only real issue is the runtime. At 2 hours and 40 minutes, the movie can feel a bit long at times. Trimming one or two musical numbers and shaving off some runtime could have made the pacing even tighter and highlighted the film’s strongest moments even more. That said, Wicked is still a fantastic experience overall, and I’m already really looking forward to Part 2.
