I last saw Wicked 2. It wasn't great. It wasn't terrible. The strength are the two female leads and their complicated friendship-rivalry which is surprisingly nuanced and compelling for a kids film. The rest of the movie is weighed down by awful musical pieces, cheap effects, and uninspired set and costume design. Whenever the two leads were on the screen, I paid attention. When they weren't, I played cat's cradle with my shoe laces. What good is a musical if the songs suck?
>>65 I've often wondered if part of the bad reaction to this pretty mediocre film was because audiences found the Christian piety in it disturbing. The film's leads aren't Jesus freaks, the angry Bible thumpers get called out even. It seems secular nones find visible signs of religiosity, one that isn't a dumb caricature like gay Jesus pr0nz, as unsettling, sickening even.
