Wicked: For Good - Anmeldelser

...'more captivating' than the first film.

...still features magnificent music and performances, especially from Ariana Grande in the sequel, but the one-year gap has broken its spell.

For some fans, it might be enough to get more of Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande's excellent performances that confirm they were perfect casting for the roles.

ts songs and talent are certainly good enough to coast on, but it still fails to make the case for translating a beloved stage show to two just-okay films.

Builds to an incredibly cathartic conclusion, but isn't quite as captivating as Part 1.

This solid second half is darker, denser, & delicious in its own way.

...doesn’t defy gravity like its predecessor but fans will want to hold space for a sequel with a very poignant payoff.

It all feels good enough, which also feels disappointing at the same time.

The finale of a needlessly two-part movie musical adaptation doesn’t go out on a high note.

With the second part of his smash hit Broadway adaptation, director Jon M. Chu faces an unenviable task – bringing to life the half of the show that doesn’t have Defying Gravity in it.

Its aspirations start and stop at being fun, funny, touching, accessible, and musically engaging, and it achieves all of those things with ease.

Oz saga conclusion will satisfy its extensive army of devotees.

The story is touching, it’s beautifully made, and it provides a fulfilling conclusion to this Ozian epic.

Director Jon M Chu pulls off quite a trick with this manageably proportioned second half to the epic musical prequel-myth inspired by The Wizard of Oz – and based, of course, on the hit stage show.
