IJW: Wicked For Good (2025)

So I enjoyed wicked so I was really looking forward to wicked for good. I will say that this movie is a good movie but not as good as the first movie.

As far as positives go, I thought the performances were all great. In this movie, it definitely seemed like Glinda played by Ariana Grande was the main focus, but that doesn’t take away from Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba or Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero. Even Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum put in good performances

The story is where I’m mixed on. I didn’t think it was a bad story. It was still an engaging story with some twists and turns that I didn’t see coming or some things that showed how characters came to be. The issue is that I don’t think it was a strong of a story as the first movie. I also think that it kind of dragged a little bit because it felt a little too long.

Let’s end with the songs. The first movie had a lot of recognizable songs and outside of the title song for this movie, the songs were not as strong and were OK.

Rating-3.5/5
