Wicked was absolutely stellar. I haven’t had a cinematic experience like this in a long time. THIS is a fucking MOVIE. The pure ELEVATION, the SPECTACLE. Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande are positively electric. The Art Direction and Design is the impeccable. The climax left me breathless. - ThreadSky

I'm about to see it again

davidcon.bsky.social•170 days ago

The set design was amazing, I was very impressed at how much practical set building it seemed like they did

jontheartguy.bsky.social•170 days ago

My wife will be seeing it and will hopefully regale me on it as opposed to having to endure the optimism, colors and joy firsthand. I can't handle the laughing mantis shrimp world.

tarielven.bsky.social•170 days ago

Just saw it tonight too. So good! I rarely go to an actual cinema these days and this was well worth it 💚

gemma-babbler.com•170 days ago

The entire cast had such chemistry it just was phenomenal. People were complaining at initial clips about the lighting and color but once I saw that opening scene with the tulip fields it made *sense*. It felt like the original Wizard of Oz!

It was such a delight, through and though.

roguereader47.bsky.social•170 days ago

I cannot wait to see it tomorrow night!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it.

axisofanarchy.bsky.social•170 days ago

Did you catch all *4* cameos?

abitmeddlesome.bsky.social•170 days ago

What was your favorite number? 👀

meganleebees.bsky.social•170 days ago

I just saw it today and could not agree more. I left the theater and wanted to go right back to see it again. Incredible <3

keichiokami.itch.io•170 days ago

I 💯 agree. As a fan of the novel as well, this movie truly delivered and I in awe of how well excited, emotional, and beautiful of a film it was.

stylishrubric.bsky.social•170 days ago

The musical is easily in my top 3 favorite, so I'm very happy Hollywood got it right! The CGI was also great and expanded the world of Oz more than a stage set could have. They got the little details right.

jamesstroup.bsky.social•170 days ago

This review has put it on my to watch list.

merchesueroknight.bsky.social•170 days ago

Gonna see it tomorrow!

pardo48.bsky.social•170 days ago

I’m excited to watch it tomorrow!!

pewpewkachu.bsky.social•170 days ago

We're snowed in here, so it's going to be at least a week before I get to see it.

theseancequeen.bsky.social•170 days ago

I was sobbing at the end! Everyone played their parts to perfection and the sets and costumes were transcendent! Definitely will go see it again.

allenagathon.bsky.social•170 days ago

SO EXCITED

samasthana.bsky.social•170 days ago

Absolutely can’t stop thinking about it

razormade.bsky.social•170 days ago

I loved 🥰 it so much

dilloniusrex.bsky.social•170 days ago

100%!! You gotta love a movie musical that isn't embarrassed by its origin. It was cinema experience that truly captured the magic of live theater ✨

samuraiko.bsky.social•170 days ago

Glad you had such a wonderful time! :D Will you be going to see it again while it's in theatres?

kittypandulce.bsky.social•170 days ago

it was phenomenal 😭 I couldn’t stop thinking about it, I had to go see it twice lmao

briancummings.bsky.social•170 days ago

I’m just going to sit this one out and let Sam make the joke I was going to. That is what you keep him around for after all.

ica27.bsky.social•170 days ago

😒 greattt now I have to watch smh can't wait 😁

jessnells.bsky.social•170 days ago

I can't WAIT to watch this movie, the Broadway show was already incredible! 💚🩷

gronstef.bsky.social•170 days ago

I can NOT wait for the second part next year! Im so excited! Its one of my all time fav. musicals and watching it getting that much love brightens my day!

aro0ger0.bsky.social•170 days ago

What? I was here sceptical but apparently Everyone says it's good? Ugh, now I'm forced to watch.

franky3dp.bsky.social•170 days ago

I’ll never look to the western sky quite the same again but I will do it more frequently.

biorph.bsky.social•170 days ago

It was amazing. The choreography in Dancing Through Life was just so enthralling

ofthemagi.bsky.social•170 days ago

Wow, Matt. I think you just convinced me to go to a movie theater for the first time since COVID.

luigichoco.bsky.social•170 days ago

I agree, I haven’t had a movie experience quite like Wicked in a long time - and that’s not to say I don’t watch good movies, this was just fantastic

bensworth.bsky.social•170 days ago

One hundred percent. Immediate chills at the beginning and it just went up from there!

magicianmana4.bsky.social•169 days ago

As soon as the movie ended I went “time to see it again”

raventalk.bsky.social•170 days ago

I look forward to watch it on Monday

cognomina.bsky.social•170 days ago

Sounds awesome - will definitely go and watch it as soon as it‘s out over here 🤩

flutteryshykid.bsky.social•133 days ago

Do you have any sympathy for this poor woman?

noonien99.bsky.social•170 days ago

Glad you had a good time and are enjoying some rest and relaxation 👍

rjordan99.bsky.social•170 days ago

I can’t stop thinking about it and want to go see it again. The casting and directors absolutely cooked.

ironbat92.bsky.social•170 days ago

I swear, this movie deserves the Oscars for best Art Direction and Costume Design.

psswineford.bsky.social•170 days ago

100% agree. I need to see it again on the big screen!!

pneumaticturtle.bsky.social•170 days ago

Getting real excited for going to see it now.

destfiel.bsky.social•170 days ago

It was absolutely brilliant. I watched in a 4DX movie and the chair swaying and thumping to the choreography was very fun. Also Jonathan Bailey was the perfect on-screen Fiyero ❤️

evilsdeathazul.bsky.social•170 days ago

I just saw the North American Tour with my wife not long ago and (If you can't tell from my profile pic), I'm a bit of a musical snob. The Tour was fantastic, 10/10. The movie...was better. I have never seen a movie surpass its play until today!

highlordrhys.bsky.social•170 days ago

I didn’t expect to cry in No One Mourns the Wicked, but Ariana nailed it. And also *that* scene, the scream I scrumpt!

bridgetmaguirevo.bsky.social•170 days ago

Agreed! Probably the best translation of a theatre production to cinema I've ever seen. John Chu understood the assignment!!

zenobiavayne.bsky.social•170 days ago

I can’t wait to see it this weekend!

stjepansejic.bsky.social•170 days ago

ariana was especially a revelation as the trailers had me concerned with her serious face in every clip that she was gonna play glinda in some understated way, and i was so glad to see that she was the most hilarious part of the whole thing. everyone cooked on this movie

mattdark.bsky.social•170 days ago

I was the same with Ariana. Wasn't sure going into the film, but she really surprised me.

theblevins.bsky.social•167 days ago

Just saw it, and I have to agree. Was a great watch. My wife said "I'd literally go watch it again right now"

hintonusalex.bsky.social•170 days ago

The casting director deserves an award! I had never heard of Cynthia before this but I heard a gasp when she finished her first song and I got emotional just hearing Elphaba sing for the first time, she was unbelievable! Ariana was absolutely hilarious and she really brought so much heart to Glinda!

jackstrawhat.bsky.social•170 days ago

I saw it last night and was already watching what clips they have officially posted on YouTube when I got home. It was so good, I want to go see it again and can’t wait for Part 2.

villanarei.bsky.social•170 days ago

It absolutely blew me away, it’s been over 48 hours and I still can’t find the words to describe it.

francescoabeni.bsky.social•170 days ago

I did not want to raise the expectations too much for those who have yet to watch it, but AGREED 100%. It was a joy. I was buzzing with energy after exiting the theater.
