[QUOTE="Meech17, post: 9535562, member: 7044459"] I enjoyed it. My girlfriend enjoyed it a lot, which is what really mattered. She's been hyped for this for a very long time now. I've never seen the musical or read the book (Though when I was in high school, our 10th grade marching band show was Wicked, so I knew a lot of a music going into it.) I agree with a few of the points in the OC. The pacing was sluggish. 2hr40m could have been easily half an hour less.. Especially considering there's going to be another one. Some of the effects were less than stellar as well. One thing I'll disagree on is your ranking of the leads.. I definitely think Erivo was the stronger of the two. I think Grande did a great job, but I'd stick her in second place. Overall I think the casting was great. Even Jeff Goldblum, who I'm kind of getting tired of since lately all he seems to do is show up and be "Jeff Goldblum" was decent as Oz. [/QUOTE]
