[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm starting to get sick of Wicked.

Such a self-important cast. The movie and its message are not THAT deep and life-changing. [/quote]

Welcome. You aren't the only hater.[/quote]

It's sad because I LOVED the Wicked musical when I was a young teen. My grandparents surprised me and took me to see it on Broadway, and I listened to the songs for months!

I enjoyed the movie but am kind of sick of it now. [/quote]

PP here and loved the book and think the stage musical was wonderful. I think the movie is a gross money grab (I loathe when they split a story into multiple movies like this -- just tell a damn story in one movie) and while I think Erivo and Grande are terrific vocal talents, I don't like their interpretation of these roles and have found their press tour excruciating. Erivo in particular has really turned me off forever. Like zero self-awareness. Even by Hollywood standards. They need to stop. I'm glad this is kind of their swan song because the Oscars don't have a Musical or box office category so they won't be featured as heavily for the rest of awards season (though they will be at everything, ugh).[/quote]

Erivo is so off-putting. Wasn't she the one complaining that someone made fan art of the movie that mimicked the original musical poster (and thus didn't show her face)?

They are all so far up each other's A$$, including Goldbum and Michelle Yeoh (who was not very good in this film at all).[/quote]

Yes, she took it as a racist insult because she was either not familiar with the original (iconic) marketing for the musical, or she was aware of it and is just so self-involved that it never occurred to her that the fan had positive intentions.

[b]Yes, the whole cast and directing/producing team has the vibe of a group of high schoolers who think their spring production of Grease is the most important thing that has ever happened and show up to class in character and break into song in the cafeteria. [/b]Like are they aware everyone else in the room also makes movies (or tv)? And that a lot of those movies are actually more "important" from the perspective of telling a story people haven't already seen? So irritating.

I also think it's weird how hard that movie has been marketed to little kids. My 1st grader has been begging to see it but I know it will be too intense for her, having seen the stage musical (and been to movies with her before). I would take a 10 yr old to it no problem but they've aggressively marketed it to like toddlers and preschoolers for some reason. I don't get it.[/quote]

DP.  The bolded made me laugh so hard!  I always seem to encounter groups like this at airports.  Drama classes going on trips to NYC, etc.  And yes, they always break into song, thinking they're so adorable and everyone around them *must* just love hearing them sing Broadway show tunes!  Ugh, zero self-awareness.[/quote]
