The film ‘Wicked: Part One’ attempts to transform a beloved Broadway musical into a cinematic experience but struggles with pacing and unnecessary added content.
Director Jon M. Chu’s approach shifts between musical bliss and clumsy fantasy, making the film feel longer and less engaging compared to the original stage show.
Despite beautiful performances from Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, ‘Wicked’ suffers from missteps in direction, diluting the powerful emotions that resonated in the musical.
The film's interpretation tries to maintain the charm of the Broadway production but becomes weighed down by excessive effects and long runtime, impacting viewer engagement.
