#Wicked #Movies
I watched #Wicked2 at my local #AMC yesterday.
Apparently, the movie is designed to follow the musical (rather than the original movie). I've seen Wicked (the musical) on stage but it was a very long time ago & I've forgotten most of what I saw.
Most people have not seen the theatrical version of Wicked, they've only seen the original movie & they probably will be as confused as I was by what they saw in Wicked2 as I was.
So, what I liked least about Wicked2 were the superficial tie-ins to the original; none of which I'll reveal here for fear of "spoiling" the movie for those who haven't seen it yet but the differences are obvious to anyone who has seen the original.
I also thought that Elphaba was depicted as too naive & inept in attempting to expose the Wizard & save the animals.
And lastly there were too many transitions, especially near the end, that were never adequately explained or developed.
So, FWIW, I'd only rate Wicked2 a 5 of 10 vs a 7 for the Wicked1. 🤷♂️
