In 2003, there was a Broadway musical called Wicked based on the two witches from the movie The Wizard of Oz. As happens a lot in the 21st century, the story was retrofitted to tell the tragic backstory of a classic villain and make them a sympathetic character. Wicked the Broadway musical proved to be very popular, so it was made into a movie in 2024, also called Wicked. But not quite, because that was only the first part of the story. The second part, titled Wicked: For Good, is opening across the US this weekend. So it's about time that Screen Junkies gave us an Honest Trailer for the first film.
The best part of an Honest Trailer for a musical is the disrespectfully self-aware parody lyrics they give to the songs. You won't hear them until halfway through this trailer, but they are worth the wait. Otherwise, they had to stretch to say anything truly critical about Wicked. My impression was that the movie went way overboard with the special effects in an effort to make it look less like a stage musical, and it still looks like a stage musical. A lot of people actually like that. Screen Junkies appears to have also liked Wicked.

Amazing. How did this movie ever get made? Those songs are tuneless. No melody that sticks in your head unless it's been played so many times that you can identify it as a 'song'. sheesh
