Variety's Katcy Stephen hailed the "Wicked" movie as a "masterpiece," adding: "Ariana Grande makes Glinda sparkle: she milks every moment with gusto, humor and hair flips. Jon M. Chu added so much new life to the story that I can see why it needed to be 2 parts! Well worth the 20-year wait."
As Glinda, Ariana Grande brings charm and wit to a character known for her bubbly exterior and hidden depth. The 31-year-old pop star commands each of Glinda's signature numbers, including a delightful rendition of "Popular." But it's her knack for comedic timing that makes her so memorable. Her delivery of various one-liners and zingers is one of the film's highlights, potentially positioning her for a first-time Oscar nomination in the best supporting actress category. It wouldn't be the first time a pop star successfully transitioned to the Dolby Theatre: Cher won best actress for "Moonstruck" a few years after her first nom in "Silkwood," proving that pop stars can shine just about anywhere if in the right role. This role is the one Grande was born to play.
The supporting actress category has long been a welcoming home for musical performances. From Meryl Streep's nomination in "Into the Woods" to Catherine Zeta-Jones' win in "Chicago," the Academy has often celebrated actresses who can show off their singing chops. However, Grande faces competition this year from a couple other multi-hyphenates aiming for Oscars, including Selena Gomez for her Spanish-language musical role in "Emilia Pérez" and Jennifer Lopez in the sports biopic "Unstoppable." Sadly, Lady Gaga's awards hopes for "Joker 2" seem amid the film's negative reviews and poor box office numbers. -

This is why nobody takes you people seriously. It looks like a **** movie because almost every one of the 10,000 villain origin stories and retcons that have been released in the last decade was also a **** movie. The casting choices and race of the actors has nothing to do with it.

You really are a useless piece of ****. The casting choices look fine. It's just not a movie I have any interest in and nobody is going to blame you if you don't either. You don't need an excuse and you don't lose your man card or MAGA credentials just for hating something without bringing imaginary woke grievances into it.

One of them is wearing a blonde wig. One of them is covered in green paint.
Targaryens were supposed to have silver hair and purple eyes in the GOT world. Tyrion was suppose to be hideous. Nobody cared that they didn't match their book descriptions. It's not something super egregious like Tom Cruise playing a character that's supposed to be a foot taller than the actor in Jack Reacher. -

the negress looks ridiculous too.
I agree.
Those big lips look stupid and the orig. witch was white.
Enough of this woke casting bullshit just to be ****ing woke.

I find that very hard to believe based on the trailer they released.
But what do I know? This is not a film I'm ever going to watch and I liked Joker II.
I have always depended on the kindness of Strangers - and the bastards let me down!
