ugh bye :rip: 

 

this is funny because while the show has iconic songs, there’s also a bunch of clunkers in there so the “not wanting to cut any songs” excuse is so dumb.

 

they just wanted to end the movie on Defying Gravity lmfao 

Apparently it’s also because they’re adding stuff from the book that wasn’t included in the musical, I have no idea what’s in the book that they could add, I just hope that both are good

The VF photoshoot was serving CW (derogatory) but the teaser isn't too bad.

Ya'll we have no idea what the storytelling narrative will be. They very well may open the film with Dorothy & co. w/ Elphaba and then flash back.

I think they are trying to tease the whole story from both parts to hook even though only Part 1 releases this year. They want the GA to turn out and hope the movie will be good enough / leave people on such a high with Defying Gravity that they won’t mind waiting a year for the conclusion.

 

Moana 2 splitting attention with family audiences for the Thanksgiving weekend aside, I still think this could perform similarly to Wonka in the US (WW is a bigger question mark; Wonka was the #2 biggest movie of the year in the UK for example which will be hard to match without the Christmas holiday corridor).

 

But yeah that final note from Cynthia was a bit too Xtina shredding for my liking and a bit too much CGI gloss even over the physical sets.

Very distracted by the amount of overbearing CGI gloss - I was hoping for more of a restrained old Hollywood MGM musical look based on the physical sets that I personally think is much better suited to the material. What's the point of building gorgeous sets if you're going to smother them all in CGI (that will age poorly)? The staging of the musical is pretty understated outside of the big set pieces all things considered, so I'm disappointed they've gone in a completely different direction with the movie. It seems like excess in every sense of the word was their goal, including with runtime, which I think was the wrong approach. Hoping to be wrong, though.

the effects are cool, but the acting...

Posted

the production value is production valuing :clap3:

 

Relieved that from first sight Ariana doesn’t stick out in an embarrassing way. She seems settled in the role.

It might have a decent debut, but I think this will tank just like yes, and? Hope I'm wrong though
