Plot: When Glinda reports to the people that the Wicked Witch of the West (Elphaba) is dead, everyone rejoices. What they don't know is that Glinda grew up with Elphaba. She tells them about how they met, how at first they didn't get along because of their differences, but Glinda's story also shows a different side of Elphaba.

A film that ties in with some recent Disney production (telling the story from the villain's angle), but is based on an older musical. Mind you, this is only part 1, there is more to come later. If you're into longwinded CG-laden musicals, this might be your thing, I can't say I was too impressed with this.
In part because the story is very bland (it's a Frankenstein tale shoehorned into the Wizard of Oz plot), the performances weren't good and the songs aren't my thing. The land of Oz looks nice enough and there are some impressive set pieces, but it's not enough to warrant a 160-minute runtime.
