I expect it to suck, even though I like the musical. well, I like the first act of the musical, it drags in the second

which is another reason not to make the second act its own movie, but that's a problem for the second movie to deal with

Time

Wicked is 2:40. Movies you could literally watch twice in that time:

Gustav

isn't also two parts? are did they decide to make it into one movie?

It's still just the first act of the musical.

Ted Lasso

yep, that is what I thought. No way I watching a 2:40 minute first act. That

Good gravy, I didn't know it was only Part 1

I’m out. The musical isn’t nearly that long. I think the whole musical was around 2:30-3:00 hours long.

Heard they pulled some parts from the Silmarillion and the Appendices.

The running time would make sense if this were not only half of the show

I’ve never seen the show on Broadway. No interest. I know very little about it. I’m being dragged to this movie anyway

I would tell your wife that you would rather go see the musical than the movie

Hard to argue that a movie is too long when you haven't seen it.

ebv

Yes, many of those should have been trimmed down

Gustav

I’ll argue that the first act should not be made into a 2:40 movie.

BYUheaven

3:17pm

Maybe, but you haven't even seen it yet.

I actually really liked it when I saw it on Broadway. 3 hours for act one is ridiculous. I don't know if I'll see it.

Movie producers - you chose this format. It’s your job to keep it to 2 hrs max!

It's a very well done show promoting moral relativism

We just saw Wicked the play at the Paramount in downtown Seattle last night. Loved it!

I’ve seen it 3 times and it never gets old. We are going to go see the movie

No idea about Fast Times. My recollection was the movie was about 10 seconds.

Ugh. Maybe I can convince my daughter to skip it.

For a stupid fan fiction story with a catchy tune? LOLOL No thanks!

I watched the latest mission impossible a few weeks ago. It was long too

That was too long. The dialogue was tiresome.
