Hey everyone, Jon M. Chu's Wicked - actually titled Wicked: Part I in the movie - has now hit theaters. To let you know right upfront, I'm not necessarily the biggest musical guy and witchcraft fantasy stuff has never been a genre of film & TV that I've ever been interested in. Plus, I have never seen the broadway play so have virtually no connection to the source material. To add fuel to the fire, I also thought the trailers were pretty bad... which is why I was bamboozled when the first reviews came out absolutely praising this movie to high heavens. I have now seen the film. Is it overhyped or legitimately Best Picture worthy? Find out in this review!
