Wicked (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray+ Digital)

Outstanding adaptation that adds depth to the characters and creates an Ozian world that is different but recognizable for Oz fans. Jon Chu has fashioned a clever, funny, emotionally and musically rich movie thanks in no small part to the leading ladies. Full disclosure, I was mostly indifferent to the stage production but I love this movie. And, yes, I think it was smart to split it into two to give breathing room to the characters and story. The disc is a stunner with gorgeously rendered visuals and audio. I give it my fully enthusiastic recommendation.

This movie is one of my favorite movies of the year!!! Went to see it, and it was a treat. It is definitely a good movie for families, though there are some scary scenes towards the end with the wizard of Oz. There is no language and any inappropriate scenes for the most part. The acting was brilliant (Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, and Michelle Yeoh were perfect, and Jeff Goldblum was an excellent choice to play the wizard of Oz). The singing and music really surprised me as really good because the songs did not over-cram the lyrics into the rhythms and tunes like in many Disney musicals. The music was very catchy. The visual effects were excellent, the dance-coreography was amazing, and the costume design was really fun and over the top. Kudos and my hearty congratulations to everyone on that cast and to everyone who worked on this movie as a whole! I definitely recommend this movie.

Finally, I got to watch "Wicked". I found it to be a captivating experience, even though the story started out a bit slow. Once the pace picked up, I was easily drawn into the evolving friendship between Elphaba and Galinda. Their dynamic was beautifully portrayed and added depth to the storyline.The music in "Wicked" is nothing short of fantastic. I especially loved the songs "Popular," "The Wizard and I," and "Defying Gravity." Having known most of the songs beforehand, actually seeing and hearing the characters bring them to life was an amazing experience. The performances were top-notch and added a whole new dimension to the music I already loved.Overall, "Wicked" is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys a powerful story of friendship, good-vs-evil, and so many other important themes, coupled with incredible music. It’s a magical journey that is both visually and audibly stunning.
