Wicked 2024
Yeah, I don’t know how to rate musicals. I can’t tell if I’m grading the film itself or the source material, which is really strong in this case.
I did notice that some of the songs had been truncated weirdly, maybe because certain people (*cough* Jeff Goldblum *cough*) can’t actually sing—but then why cast them in the first place?
I don’t know. There’s lots of pretty colours and CGI bullshit and the Emerald City looks like it was cobbled together by AI. The songs are good, though. And I guess the performances are fun. I don’t know why you’d choose this over the live version.

My Best Friend's Wedding 1997
My girlfriend wanted to watch something “light” instead of another slow-burn, indie horror movie. Ultimately, this was more psychologically disturbing than anything I could have chosen. Fair play.

Baby Driver 2017
Entertaining enough, Baby Driver is something pretty special, marginally undermined by its soundtrack - which is almost expertly lame, perfectly mirroring a quintessential middle-aged, white dad's record collection.
Besides that, the secondary characters are wonderfully realised - almost to the detriment of the protagonist - and certain seemingly predictable moments are reworked in pleasantly surprising ways. Baby Driver doesn't disappoint, for the most part.
