I went to see it today with a 9, 13, and 14 year old. They all enjoyed it and the length of the movie didn’t bother them! I thought it was spectacular. |
we just watched wizard of oz as preparation to see it over thanksgiving! |
I saw it tonight and enjoyed it. A bit overlong but not annoying. Both leads were excellent. I loved the visuals. The art nouveau / art deco aesthetic was amazing and green is my favorite color anyway. Now I want to dig out my DVD copy of the Wizard of Oz and watch that. And also looking forward to part two. |
The movie was incredible! Can’t wait to see it again. |
It over delivered. I laughed, I cried and healed a bit of my inner child watching this film. I’ve seen the musical in NY and I wasn’t sure if the movie would deliver but it overdelivered in the best way!!! Go see it!! I want to see it again. |
Seems crazy to do this over two movies.
The musical length and pacing was perfect. Don't see the need to stretch it. I will probably go but what until the sing alongs die down. Is the second one in the can at least? |
For those that thought it was amazing -
had you seen the musical? |
Loved Ariana (and I generally am not a fan, but she pulled this off). I did think it could have been done in one long movie - all aspects of the movie production were great. It was well done. Fiyero is just naturally charming. He would shine anywhere.
I am not a fan of Cynthia (sorry). I find her very hard on the eyes. The tooth gap was too distracting for me. |
I've seen the musical and thought the movie was brilliantly done- it did what it was supposed to do for a MOVIE. Delivered on visuals, storyline and vocals. Hit in the feels the right way with the few parts that were expanded upon. I am not a fan of either lead but they DELIVERED! Brava. |
The song with the two of them is so annoying.
|
I'm a guy who has never seen the play, hates musicals, and didn't know the plot of the movie and even I enjoyed it. I wasn't ecstatic about seeing it, but the music and visuals were great! To all the husbands and fathers out there, you will enjoy it even if you're not a fan of musicals. |
Isn't the 2nd half of the musical really dark and scary? I can't imagine that making a good movie on its own (but it's been a while since I last saw it). |
This is really corny. |
Does anyone else find all the hype about not singing during the movie sort of bizarre? I have been to musicals on broadway (including this one) and in movie theaters -/ and no one near me has ever burst out into song drowning out the stars.
Is this Tik Tok influencer induced nonsense ? |
We have tickets for tomorrow- so goddamn excited!!!! |
