I thought Oz the Great and Powerful was a good film but, like you said, not necessary. However, Wicked is different in a lot of ways. First off, the Broadway show came before the recent OZ film. (So Please disregard the "origin" of the Wicked Witch of the West in Oz the Great and Powerful). I must add also Glee has pretty much "butchered" a lot of songs so, please, I'm begging, disregard those covers also, and listen to the actual songs on the Wicked original cast album.

I think Wicked could be a great film, not only because of the great songs, but the story and theme of "being who you are." Sorry -- Guess I am kind of fan boy Clap 

P.S- Granted, Mamma Mia was a financial success. However, the script was boring and it seemed clear that Mamma Mia was a stage Musical, and maybe should have stayed as one.

There's a reason why sequels and prequels to THE WIZARD OF OZ haven't been well-received so far: They just aren't necessary. They usually don't change the perspective of the story or the characters.

I've never seen the play, but I've heard covers of the songs in GLEE. They're good. But I think THE WIZ had good songs too, and look at how that turned out.

Actually, they did something similar in the 2009 Oscars. Both times, it was to celebrate how the musical film genre had returned. The return officially started in 2001 with MOULIN ROUGE.

I wouldn't call MAMMA MIA! a failure. Reviews were only mixed, and it broke box office records. It's not a future classic, but still.

Hey, what do I know? I once had a crush on Miley Cyrus, despite really disliking southern people who don't realize when they're close to being rednecks (I've met a bunch of them personally). But not anymore! But I must be wrong, since she was recently voted The Hottest Woman Alive by Maxim magazine.]]> Tue, 21 May 2013 14:52:08 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6175&PID=54578#54578 Entire RAZZIE® History, Year-by-Year: 1980-2012 : Character of Catwoman http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6167&PID=54577#54577 Author: moviecritic1994

UPDATE: Check this Hilarious Review of "Catwoman" by Nostalgia Critic. The intro and in between skits are ridiculous but just skip them The Actual review is freaking funny!

Looks kinda lame.
After Doctor Who, Star Trek is placed second on the list of longest running Science Fiction Shows on TV, with 14 seasons, if I remember correctly. Sounds like Into Darkness already won Travers over.

At this years Oscars, there was a huge segment dedicated to Musicals, with performances from Chicago, Dream Girls and the recent 3 time Oscar Winner Les Miserables. I started to think maybe movie musicals were back on the rise. My thoughts and theories about this seem to have been given some validation: The movie version of the stage musical "Wicked" may be in the works. It could come out as soon as 2014. 

However, this possible release date comes from IMDB (and we all know how unreliable they can be). However, I must address both the success and failure of recent movie musicals. There have been successful musical films like "HairSpray", "Chicago", and of course who can forget "Les Miserables" (a personal favorite of mine.) However, there have also been disappointments like "Mamma Mia" and "The Producers".

So I ask you guys this, do You think Wicked would make a good film? Could it possibly be an Oscar contender? Or if it's bad, do you think it could be a possible Razzie contender? Please be careful since I am a Wicked fan (look at my signature). ]]> Tue, 21 May 2013 14:03:07 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6177&PID=54574#54574 Entire RAZZIE® History, Year-by-Year: 1980-2012 : The Twilight Saga: Rest in Peace http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6175&PID=54573#54573 Author: mbh
