I really think Jeff Goldblum was the worst part of the movie. He wasn't playing the Wizard he as playing himself like he always does these days. His extended scene with the model of Oz really made me cringe. His sentimental man was also terrible. I enjoyed most of the movie though. They really did milk defying gravity though. Like dear god we get it it’s defying gravity just let it end PLEASE
i totally agree, that was the worst part of the entire movie. i would be interested to see what the people who don’t know the musical thought about it, but it was SO out of place, SO boring, and his singing was terrible. i am not looking forward to the 30 minute scene that’s inevitably coming in part 2 for wonderful LMAO
as a movie i would rate it like a 6.5/10 but if i just think about all the songs back to back it jumps to a 9/10. truly it’s the additions that were the worst part. the only changes that i really liked were 1. the restructuring of something bad for pacing and 2. the enhanced animal side plot
the hot air balloon side quest in defying gravity was so unnecessary and totally killed the build up of the song. i also liked the concept of elphaba seeing her younger self and finding strength but i wish it had come at a different time because it was ANOTHER disruption to the momentum and killed the “it’s me” moment
