Moviegoers are saying
This Wicked adaptation has audiences crying happy tears and planning immediate rewatches, with Jonathan Bailey's charismatic Fiyero causing literal theater-wide swoons. While the 160-minute runtime and heavy musical numbers divide some viewers, the overwhelming majority are calling it a faithful, visually stunning adaptation that 'puts their whole leg into it, up to the hip.'

    undeniably funny that this 160-minute half-movie about how the wicked witch of the west got her broom opens with voiceover saying “let me tell you the whole story.”

    I'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.

    This is a great adaptation of the musical and the book. The story is not rushed and allowed for more overall development. The FX was magical and the singing, acting, and dancing was fantastic.

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.
