The embargo has been lifted, the premiere<\/a> has been and gone, and the early reviews are starting to pour in for the most anticipated movie of the year, Wicked.<\/p>\n

As one of the most successful stage musicals of all time, the world went nuts in 2016 when the Wicked movie was first announced. A staggering eight years later, and after a number of setbacks like a ditched director and the pandemic, the movie is finally set for a November 22 release.<\/p>\n

The embargo on reviews was officially lifted on Tuesday, with Rotten Tomatoes soon revealing that its debut score was an impressive 91 per cent. Reviews followed soon after, but unfortunately, the mixed bag doesn’t point to either its upcoming success or failure.<\/p>\n

Good reviews say Wicked is ‘defying gravity’<\/h2>\n
