I was staring at the costumes and saying ‘will this end?’” said Amy N. a top critic from Rotten Tomatoes.

I saw the Wicked Movie over Thanksgiving break. Personally I really enjoyed it. I am a huge musical fan, enjoying the random singing.

The two part split was strange but necessary. A Lot of people complain about the two part split, but I think I was very important. The original broadway play has a running time of 2 hours and 45 minutes. Part one also has a running time of 2 hours and 40 minutes. For the movie to make sense the two part split was necessary.

Most of the songs were good, my favorites being “No one Mourns the Wicked” and “Defying Gravity”. Wicked is a must see for my musical fans. With fabulous singing and graphics, it’s a remarkable movie remake.

One I would definitely recommend seeing!
