I'm a Wicked theatre gay so don't start with me on if my opinion is valid or not

 

yeah this is giving fun, box office smash, but I don't think it'll be a critical darling

 

Ari is channeling Kristin but is that what we want? that's not a way to get recognized for your acting

Kinda surprising that DEH flopped that much when it was one of the It Shows for 6 years.

But Wicked can pull in lots of Wizard of Oz fans even if they don't know the musical.

Thank god they moved it, and tbh I think November 15th would be even better, but at least it's nots competing against Moana on the first week:dies:

it's the best trailer so far but WHY are they spoiling everything?? it's such a baffling marketing decision

I really don't think they are. They're showing the most popular beats from the musical and Jon Chu has said to expect something different than the stage musical, and knowing this will also adapt the novel more, I think we're in for something different than we're expecting. 

 

The mixing of Margaret Hamilton's theme into that final montage with those gentle vocalizations was incredible. This looks visually stunning and I can't wait to see the final product. I am curious about the MPAA and runtime though.

The trailer is amazing but yeah it does feel like they're assuming everyone knows wicked and we're just happy to see a film version but I think a lot of the general public will be interested, hasn't seen wicked and will be like wait I saw a lot of this in the trailer. Also be like wait there's a part 2 loll. Anyways, I'm excited!!!

Loving the new trailer. It feels like such a cinematic movie event. Everything looks so stunning and colorful. And Ariana's acting is looking so promising, she's really holding her own against a heavyweight like Cynthia. :clap3:
 

Also there's a new international trailer as well (above) with a lot of different scenes. It really gets into the Act I/Part I storyline regarding the animals.

Officially rated PG for some scary action, thematic material, and brief suggestive material. Seems like they bargained for a PG based off the reasoning to make sure the film still reaches a family audience. Smart move!
