Wicked: For Good serves as the final chapter in Jon M. Chu’s two-part cinematic adaptation of the iconic Broadway musical. The story follows Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (Ariana Grande) as their intertwined journeys reach their climax amid political unrest, propaganda, betrayal, and the collapse of Oz’s carefully constructed façade. While the film attempts to bring emotional closure to their friendship and the mysteries surrounding the Wizard, its execution often feels weighed down by its own ambition.
The film is visually breathtaking but emotionally inconsistent. While the production scale is massive—lush sets, elaborate costumes, soaring aerial shots, and dazzling IMAX 3D visuals—the storytelling falters under a slow-paced and overly heavy screenplay. The tonal shift towards politics and grim themes leaves the film darker than expected, creating an uneven final chapter that doesn’t fully capture the emotional magic fans hoped for.
However, the script doesn’t give the supporting cast enough emotional space to shine.
Wwicked: For Good is a film that tries to be monumental—and visually, it succeeds. But cinema is ultimately about emotion. Despite its grandeur, the film’s narrative weight, slow pacing, and tonal imbalance hold it back from achieving the heartfelt climax fans had anticipated.
The darker political themes overshadow the friendship-driven soul of Wicked. The emotional truth exists mostly in Erivo and Grande’s performances but the screenplay doesn’t give it space to breathe. This finale closes the story, but it doesn’t leave you with the sense of magic, catharsis, or uplift that Wicked has always promised.
