Cynthia Erivo's outstanding perfomance and the part of dividing critics and fans on how dark it is, because it is dark, it is the second act of the musical of course. The No Good Deed one of Cynthia is SO SO GOOD

"Wicked: For Good may not reach the levels of the first film, but it remains a wonderful work of technical excellence and profound emotional impact.
The audiovisual spectacle is complemented by the urgency of its social commentary on political propaganda and, most crucially, by the un…

Splitting a single story into two movies is a risky production decision that sometimes pays off and sometimes doesn’t. Is it truly merited artistically speaking, or is it simply an attempt at an unabashed box office money grab? When the creators of the cinematic adaptation of the smash hit Broadway musical Wicked announced in 2022 that they would be depicting the material through two films, the decision was met with somewhat mixed reactions.

Perhaps it’s just my own innate inverse reaction to hype, but boy was I underwhelmed by this.

A darker, more expansive sequel that, despite its visual spectacle and technical finesse, never matches the strength of the first. Performances feel diminished, pacing uneven, and the 3-hour runtime unnecessary. Impressive to look at, but ultimately middling. 5/10.

This movie was interesting. Darker than the first one. Loved the finale and 'For Good'. There were 3 songs in 10 minutes, which was rushed. Perfect runtime. I loved 'No Place Like Home' but it could've been better. Then they cut out some scenes that I would've loved to see! AHHH! :). Back to finale, I loved that Elphaba sent a sign saying she was alive. I love the final shot, a recreation of the iconic poster.
