Wicked

Soo where should i start? I wasn't planning on seeing this movie, but I was invited, and decided to give it a try with no real expectations, positive or negative. Starting watching it caught me deep into the story which I really enjoyed. Based on that experience, I would definitely recommend it to others. But then came the big question: why was I left feeling so conflicted?

Well the story being so good, it started to really frustrate me, whenever the musical part interrupted it. I am not hating the musical because it was a musical. I am hating it because of the way, they used it.

They were really nice and funny parts which worked perfectly as musicals in the movie, however, a lot of them, not only extended the movie without purpose but, interrupted the plot. Not fitting into the emotions portrayed before in the scene they really seemed unnecessary.

Musicals are meant to enhance emotions, advance the narrative, or provide comedic relief, but here, they felt repetitive and out of place. Instead of adding value, they often disrupted the momentum and didn't serve the story. In fact, I'd argue the movie would have been stronger without them.
