Wicked - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Digital

This is the best movie I have seen in the last two years. It is colorful, the singing is spectacular (as well as the dancing), and I love the twist on the original story of the Wizard of Oz. My sister-in-law was afraid to watch it because the title is "Wicked", but there is nothing wicked about this film except how it is wickedly funny, memorable, and full of talent. Read more

Very nice steelbook edition. It was hard to find for a while, so I’m glad it was reissued. The movie looks great in 4K and the bonus content is also high quality. A solid release for fans. Read more

My expectations for this highly anticipated movie were hopefully cautious. I honestly wasn’t sure about Ariana Grande as Glinda and didn’t know anything about Cynthia Erivo, but I love the musical, so I was hopeful. I was AMAZED!! Absolutely loved the movie at the pre-release showing and laughed hard, cried even harder and just loved the music!! Honestly as a singer and lover of musicals I was concerned about changing these incredible songs too much, but the changes were minimal enough that they complimented the pieces rather than overshadow them. Ariana & Cynthia were both fantastic and completely deserving of their Oscar nominations. I was happily mistaken by my Ariana caution and am now a big Cynthia Erivo fan. After viewing the early showing I immediately pre-purchased the soundtrack and then this disc as soon as it was available. I saw the movie in the theater 3 times (which I’ve NEVER done with a movie before), but this movie had me going back to a imax super sound system theater and then again for a sing along version. So much fun! The movie is also so incredibly powerful in its timing aligned to world/national politics and the dangerously growing trend of people ‘othering’ people they perceive as different than them. Hating, belittling, and bullying people that are different from oneself is wrong and only creates pain and anguish…for everyone. Propaganda is incredibly effective and can ruin communities, countries, economies and individual lives. The show only strengthened my resolve to critically think about concepts, theories, people and all info before I believe it. The extras in this hard copy disc are so much fun and I’ve watched them all. So glad I bought the hard copy (something I’ve not done for years). Excited for Wicked: For Good coming out in November! So while writing this I’ve got a playlist on with favorite songs and now I’m ’Dancing Through Life’ & ‘Defying Gravity’! Read more

This is a great movie. Because it made me think back when I was a child. That dreams can come true don’t let know one take or stand in your way. I am looking forward to Wicked part Two. I don’t know how to share video Read more

Alright loves, time for an honest review on Wicked - the movie: I started loving Wicked as a child, seeing it on Broadway for the first time in 2005. As a little girl, no older than 4, the colors and singing reeled me into a life long love for the play — of course, nothing can make it better than the orginal cast. The next year, I was gifted the Wizard of Oz movie and of course Ruby slippers (because what 5 year old can go without), allowing me to further grow my love of the Oz world. Seeing the play again in 2013, I feel in love with Oz as a whole. When I heard in 2015 that there was talk of a movie version, I was a tad skeptical. By 2019, when I read the book version, I was very worried which way a movie version can go. With covid and working in healthcare, I looked no further into the movie until late 2022, when I heard that Ariana Grande had been casted as Glinda from a theatre friend. As a girl who grew up on Victorious and her music, I became excited for the future of the movie. Cynthia Erivio, I knew less about, only knowing her via The Greatest Showman and glimpses I saw of Harriet. By 2024, my skepticism waned, and like any Wicked enthusiast, I went to the theatre with mild unease, but came out with joy. The producers and actors/actresses were able to bring the wonders of Oz to tbe big screen. With action, color, glam, this is a must watch for all ages. It combines learning acceptance, the power of friendship, all the great teachings of the play into one. While I can admit, I’m not the world’s biggest fan of muscicals, this is one I will cherish time and time again. Even in the first few moment’s of the movie, it foreshadows the second act. Spoiler alert: I love the Easter eggs to the Wizard of Oz. With the well known songs of “Popular” and “Defying Gravity,” I felt a part of the world, especially when watching the 3d version. Who knew monkeys flying out the screen would give such a crazy jump scare? 😂 But no more spoilers. I hope you and your families or friends enjoy. Please note, some parts may not be child friendly — just because I saw the play at 4 does not mean your child should. There is nothing inappropriate nor language, but it can be overwhelming and mildly violent with some more adult references. The physical DVD wise: The 4k dvd is “ehh” at best. The colors pop, but the sound vibrates every time a song plays, catching on major notes and ruining the show for me. I believe it’s just the dvd’s manufacturing, as playing the same version on MovieEverywhere does not lead to this annoying vibration/lagging. And yes, I did try three dvd player’s and multiple tv’s to verify it was not my ears — all player’s that are meant for 4k dvd’s. The non-4K DVD worked fine. If not for the DVD’s issue, I would have given 5 stars. Read more

The movie quality was good, no problems. I just didn’t enjoy it. Read more
