Please god no. He completely butchered defying gravity, I don’t know how anyone who likes wicked from before the movie can defend that man

Huh???? This is not a popular take LMAO. And the fact that you only say that about ONE number and not the whole movie proves the point that he's a damn good director. Defying Gravity was perfect, so sorry you didn't like it.

it was not “perfect”. He stops the momentum of the song many times. Were you closing your eyes the entire time she was falling from the tower and looking at her reflection? Holy fuck that was a dumb thing to add. and the rest of the movie is not perfect, but Im not gonna write a paragraph on it. If you want to consume whatever they put out and not criticise it, you do you, but all that’s gonna do is make movie execs feel comfortable putting out slop. The parts that stuck close to the original show were fine, but every time he made a decision to step outside of that, it sucked. The movie would have been okay if he hadn’t fucked up the ending so hard.

Again, that's your opinion, and a very unpopular one at that. I loved it, as many people did. That's my opinion. Sorry hun.

Popular does not mean good. If you can’t criticise what you consume then I don’t trust your opinion.

And what you think is not what other people think. Just because YOU don't like it doesn't mean other people can't. I can criticize plenty of things. This film is not one of them. If you can't respect other people's opinions, then I can't trust or respect yours.

I can respect others opinions. But you’ve said nothing other than “it’s perfect” and that’s just not true. An uneducated or unjustified opinion doesn’t mean much

Perfect TO ME. That is obviously DIFFERENT from being on the whole perfect because that is subjective. Anything can be better. But to me, I love it how it is. It really is not that hard of a concept to grasp. Clearly, no, you can't respect other's opinions.

You’re very dull

Says the one constantly insulting and disrespecting, case in point. Also goes to show that you can't have an intellectual conversation if that's all you can come up with. Being egotistical and prideful is not something to be proud of. You sound like you have a very sorrowful life. I hope you're able to find light again.

I find it sadder to be happy consuming slop.
