Wait, it's a two parter? I just entirely lost interest in watching the first part.

Yep, they tried to hide that fact quite well

Part 1 is the first act, somewhat expanded. The additions are pretty seamless and add a bit to the story. Its been a long time since I saw the play, but there is only one part I was sure wasn't in the original ::: spoiler spoiler (A Cameo with Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel) :::

If you are into the play you would probably like it. I went with my wife and daughters and they loved it. I found it enjoyable enough. As someone who isn't super into the play, it was paced well, with some good comical elements.

I agree. The additions do not drag the movie down or make the run time feel overly long. I get the hate for splitting movies into multiple parts. Most of them do not deserve it. But, I feel this telling of the story is interesting, and I am willing to watch it in two parts.

Not only is it two parts, the first movie is over 2 and a half hours long.

That's like, the length of the entire Broadway show

koberulz@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 1y

It's longer than the entire Broadway show including the intermission.

Yep, I have no interest in seeing it in theaters because of their shit move there. I'll acquire it afterwards, if I want to, but even then the insane marketing and the shit Cynthia Erivo pulled against Wicked fans has really bugged me

I hate it when I have to look up the order of how to watch something.

Just stop calling them "Part One" if you're not gonna call the sequel "Part Two" lol

koberulz@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 1y (1 reply)

I didn't think the first one was called Part One?

During the opening title sequence they definitely snuck in a quick "Part One".
