The highly anticipated movie of the hit Broadway musical “Wicked” has finally arrived, starring Ariana Grande as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba. The film brings the world of Oz to life with its impressive visuals and performances.
Grande shines as the bubbly and popular Glinda, while Erivo delivers a powerful and emotional portrayal of misunderstood Elphaba. The chemistry between the leads is undeniable, making their friendship and rivalry compelling to watch.
One of the best moments in the film is when Elphaba and Glinda go to meet the Wizard and there’s a change in the plot, leading to a confrontation between the two. This part of the movie is expertly choreographed, with impressive special effects and a fantastic musical number. The tension between the two leads is palpable, making it both emotionally charged and visually stunning.
The soundtrack, featuring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s powerful vocals, is a highlight of the film. The iconic songs, such as “Defying Gravity” and “Popular,” are reimagined with a modern twist, while still maintaining the essence of the original musical. The soundtrack compliments the film’s moments and elevates the overall viewing experience.
The set design and production values are equally impressive. The film’s recreation of the magical land of Oz is freshly imagined. The vibrant colors, the costumes, and the impressive sets transport viewers to a richly detailed world. From Emerald City to Shiz University.
Overall, the movie stays true to the original story while adding some fresh twists. Fans of the musical will love this adaptation, and newcomers will be enchanted by the world of Oz.
Personally, I would recommend this movie to others and rate it a 10/10.
