Moviegoers are saying
This 160-minute first half of the Wicked adaptation has audiences experiencing religious awakenings during 'Defying Gravity' in IMAX while collectively thirsting over Jonathan Bailey's unapologetically queer Fiyero. Despite mixed ratings averaging 4.3/10, viewers are already camping out for Part 2, creating a phenomenon where the spectacle and star power overshadow the film's pacing issues.

defying gravity in imax felt like seeing the face of god
cobNov 7, 2024I'm already seated for PART 2. The theater employees are scared and asking me to leave because it's "not November 2025 yet" but I'm simply too seated.

- Shiv Reddy lovedWicked
Cynthia Erivo truly is a magical being because how do you elevate a near perfect song like Defying Gravity, pay homage to the original and yet leave your undeniable mark on it.
Will Selby lovedWicked10/10 As a huge fan of the original book, the musical, L. Frank Baum’s original, and so many of the other Oz stories, they couldn’t have done this better. As a musical, and an adaptation that took nearly 20 years to make, it was worth every second and more.
What the sh it biscuit dislikedWickedThe Broadway actor playing the wicked witch has ruined this show. Treat fans horrible and make things work, you lose fans. Garbage! B.S. way to handle things. It’s not about you and your ego.
- Mark Bateman lovedWicked
10/10 - For those who have seen the film can agree this was Wicked. The ending was spectacular (end of act 1) and full of hart. Looking forward to part 2 (act 2). Can’t wait. OSCARS here we come 🤩.
Scleratrice likedWickedI’m not really crazy about musicals, honestly, but it was watchable and catchy. Fiyero is clearly inspired by Flynn Ryder, and Ariana Grande was magnificent. It annoyed me a bit that I watched a 3-hour movie and didn’t get to see the ending since the second part has to come out.⬇️
Emma dislikedWickedI guess I just don’t get it

It's actually shocking how good this is, for a musical atleast. The only hope I had was Jon Chu. I don't know how he does it, but the character developments in his projects are ecstatically wicked. I don't know much about 'The Wizard of Oz', but I thought I knew what to expect. Put simply, this is…
Skylar Sturgis lovedWickedSO MUCH BETTER THAN I WAS EXPECTING! both cynthia & ariana KILLED their roles. knowing the backstory to how wizard of oz came about is so INTERESTING OMG. this movie makes u feel every emotion. i cried 3 times idk guys the friendship was making me emotional.
Lina likedWicked“are people born wicked or is the wickedness thrust upon them?” I kind of stopped paying attention 😭 musicals aren’t for me unfortunately, but it was good

Near the end, though, “Wicked” does surge to a kind of life.

By the end, you won’t quite be levitating off your seat but you’ll definitely be enchanted enough to stream the soundtrack on the way home. Funny, colourful and full of empathy for outsiders, this film really is the Shiz.

The movie drags at times, evidence that the too-generous 160-minute running time adversely affects pacing without resulting in a better-defined, deeper storyline.
