15 hours ago

Wicked is finally here and everyone is raving about the film.

Everywhere you look, people are talking about how great every single second of the Wizard of Oz spin-off is. However, like any movie, there are obviously things people didn’t like – or that could have been done better.

Almost two weeks after it was released, people are finally sharing their criticisms of the musical thanks to the “We listen and we don’t judge” trend which sees people confessing opinions that others might not agree with.

A thread has gone viral on X about Wicked, and this is what people truly have to say about the it.

‘What Is This Feeling’ is the worst song in the movie

What Is This Feeling is definitely the worst song on the movie except "dear galinda" part

Elphaba and Glinda’s friendship should have been explored more

their friendship was hella underdeveloped and i thought the supremely padded run time would maybe dive into their relationship arc a little deeper in a new way 😐

The last 30 seconds of ‘Defying Gravity’ were so unnecessary

The additional 30s added at the end of defying gravity were completely not needed
It should’ve just fade to black on that final shot

I’ll prob shut the dvd player as soon as I get a copy so I don’t need to see the extra fluff

Glinda’s dress low-key looks like ham

Why does her dress look like ham

Ariana’s singing was too high-pitched

The movie would've been better if you could actually understand Ariana, she was too high pitched in three of her songs..

The crying on the press tour was way too much

Crying in every single interview got annoying very fast , we get it you got your dream role but pls

The extra dialogue ruined ‘Defying Gravity’

Defying Gravity is a good scene but the song gets too broken up by all the extra dialogue.

Idina and Kristin’s cameos were too long

the only thing i didn't like was how long idina and kristin's cameos were. i was THRILLED they were in it. but it just felt like a bit excessive vs a good nod to them. including the battle cry from idina, it just felt a little much 😅 BUT i love them and i'm not mad abt it lol

Cynthia actually carried the whole film

Ariana was great but Cynthia was amazing and carried the whole film and deserves more praise. It would be an outrageous snub for Ariana to get an Oscar nomination and not Cynthia.
