My Review

I see this movie last year wasn’t sure what I was expecting to see because I never read the wicked book but after seeing it have to say this was a very good film this gives you story before Dorothy landed in Oz a tale and also who was good witch and green skin color witch who name was Elphaba who ends up going to sort of like a college school of magic and she ends up with good witch as roommate how it goes between them is not a bad story after see how plot goes makes me interesting what happens in the next movie between them will they go to war or still be friends have to wait and find out movie next year on what I think between them go I will say there friendship is odd because I never thought them two would be friends at all.

So how was acting

It was good not out this world acting but good I do give Ariana Grande she did well playing Glinda they indeed pick the right one for that part because her singing is good too.

Cynthia Erivo as witch was good as Elphaba in this one did like her playing Elphaba the witch so credit to her as well.

Jeff Goldblum as the wizard been a fan of his movies for years so indeed know who he is see his movies for years great actor for any part as well loved him as wizard as well.

The acting is good in this one will say sure it indeed win a few awards already that for sure no problems for acting in this one.

Musical songs were very good this is the way should be everyone did well with the singing and dancing too in this one as story was told did like that too.

Final thoughts

Last time I did a movie review directed by Jon M. Chu let say it was not good but his wicked was not bad and good and I can’t wait to review wicked for the good next year which will be out next year unit then see you next time I am sure I find some movie to review for hoildays take care.

Wicked (2024) rating 7/10

My review

What to know about this character

This how it all started years later the character Pippi longstocking turn 80 last year I am sure there been many ones who played her a lot of people like the character so much from book series to tv series and movie as well never read the books maybe in the future but anyway I have heard many say I should check out this I think this was movie that spin this into a series from 1969 it is from Sweden version so lucky there was English voiceover ones too which is good little bit annoying but it fit in well with me after 15 mins.

Well first of all intro sing is a little bit annoying but I am sure after a few times I will get used to it too fate that also Pippi Is played by Inger Nilsson who I didn’t know much about least I do now and she gets my respect for playing this character excellent in my view only 9 years and her acting skills was good just saying that.

The plot of the movie what did I think

Well thought the plot of movie was good introducing us too the character and how she meet her friends her friend tells her story some on how they meet her she lives in her father house who out sailing a boat so why would you leave a 9 year old girl along trust me after see this she indeed old enough and tough to take care of herself like cleaning, cooking which is something for a 9 year old pretty much this is a good plot and write well.

Best parts of the movie

Well when she showed the bully not too bully by flying him the tree that was funny I am sure that kid will not bully anymore pretty much everything about this one is a good it would take me a while to label all the good stuff without spoil a lot of it for you. But I do want to add one thing fun part is when she buys stuff with gold like lots of candy’s and cakes even the owner of place would be amazing she brought over 80 pounds of candy and other fun cakes the reaction of owner face was funny too heck I would take the gold as well so that just a few fun moments you see of the movie. also where she meets her friends as well pretty much nothing bad fun movie to watch on Thanksgiving

Final thoughts

Well again in this one it is indeed worth it with English voiceovers or dubbed and it’s a fun movie for kids a fun little movie it was something I would watch again too as for dvd might be tough to find as it was film in Sweden so doubt I get it lucky I found it on YouTube though I will be review the other Pippi movie as well even the one with Tami Erin who maybe I have a meet and greet with in the future hopefully anyway that ends this review take care all and in next hour Wicked (2024) Review will be up.

Pippi longstocking (1969) rating 6/10
