Wicked (DVD)

“It isn’t easy being green!”A wise old frog once melodically told us…Especially when others want us to be enemiesClaiming we are fated to be ugly, cruel, and meanWanting to steal our power just to delude othersA movie about embracing or rejecting manipulationClaiming our own magical potential and strengthRefusing even widely intriguing seductions“Ding, dong, the wicked witch is dead”Not our theme, excuse, or dreamBut rising beyond hateTriumphant!

Fantastic blu ray with atmos soundtrack. The film is great, but you know that already. The specs on amazon didn't mention atmos and I was excited to see it on the box. Watched it last night and can confirm the atmos soundtrack is absolutely amazing, as is the picture quality - a perfect demo for a high-end home theater. Will definitely be watching this one again.

As a longtime fan of Wicked, I was thrilled to get my hands on this exclusive limited-edition gift set, and it did not disappoint. The gold-tone metal bookends are beautifully crafted, capturing the essence of Elphaba’s hat and Glinda’s crown—they’re both functional and a stunning display piece. The collector’s box adds an extra touch of elegance, making this set a standout on my shelf.The 4K UHD transfer is exceptional, with vibrant colors and crisp detail that bring the magic of Oz to life. The Blu-ray and digital copies are a great addition, ensuring I can enjoy the film in various formats. The included certificate of authenticity adds a special touch, making it feel like a true collector’s item.Overall, this gift set is a fantastic tribute to the beloved musical. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into its design and presentation. If you’re a fan of Wicked or know someone who is, this set is a must-have.

I am absolutely obsessed with musicals, and I saw this in theaters when it released. I bought the bluray because I love collecting physical media and this movie didn't disappoint the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th time i've watched it. The included digital code also worked pretty well.

One of 2024's most enjoyable films. This DVD is of the best quality. The Blu-ray version probably has more additional content, but the quality of this DVD is as good as you'd want.

Alright loves, time for an honest review on Wicked - the movie:I started loving Wicked as a child, seeing it on Broadway for the first time in 2005. As a little girl, no older than 4, the colors and singing reeled me into a life long love for the play — of course, nothing can make it better than the orginal cast. The next year, I was gifted the Wizard of Oz movie and of course Ruby slippers (because what 5 year old can go without), allowing me to further grow my love of the Oz world. Seeing the play again in 2013, I feel in love with Oz as a whole.When I heard in 2015 that there was talk of a movie version, I was a tad skeptical. By 2019, when I read the book version, I was very worried which way a movie version can go.With covid and working in healthcare, I looked no further into the movie until late 2022, when I heard that Ariana Grande had been casted as Glinda from a theatre friend. As a girl who grew up on Victorious and her music, I became excited for the future of the movie. Cynthia Erivio, I knew less about, only knowing her via The Greatest Showman and glimpses I saw of Harriet. By 2024, my skepticism waned, and like any Wicked enthusiast, I went to the theatre with mild unease, but came out with joy.The producers and actors/actresses were able to bring the wonders of Oz to tbe big screen. With action, color, glam, this is a must watch for all ages. It combines learning acceptance, the power of friendship, all the great teachings of the play into one. While I can admit, I’m not the world’s biggest fan of muscicals, this is one I will cherish time and time again.Even in the first few moment’s of the movie, it foreshadows the second act. Spoiler alert: I love the Easter eggs to the Wizard of Oz. With the well known songs of “Popular” and “Defying Gravity,” I felt a part of the world, especially when watching the 3d version. Who knew monkeys flying out the screen would give such a crazy jump scare? 😂But no more spoilers. I hope you and your families or friends enjoy.Please note, some parts may not be child friendly — just because I saw the play at 4 does not mean your child should. There is nothing inappropriate nor language, but it can be overwhelming and mildly violent with some more adult references.The physical DVD wise:The 4k dvd is “ehh” at best. The colors pop, but the sound vibrates every time a song plays, catching on major notes and ruining the show for me. I believe it’s just the dvd’s manufacturing, as playing the same version on MovieEverywhere does not lead to this annoying vibration/lagging. And yes, I did try three dvd player’s and multiple tv’s to verify it was not my ears — all player’s that are meant for 4k dvd’s. The non-4K DVD worked fine. If not for the DVD’s issue, I would have given 5 stars.
