As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, Glinda and Elphaba will need to come together one final time. With their singular friendship now the fulcrum of their futures, they will need to truly see each other, with honesty and empathy, if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good.

Taking one last lap down the yellow brick road, Wicked: For Good's darker tone and unhurried pacing sometimes get in the way, but this epic conclusion ultimately brings Elphaba and Glinda's story home in rousing fashion.

A deeply cinematic culmination of Wicked, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande cast a spellbinding final enchantment -- this time For Good.

'Wicked: For Good' delves into friendship, truth, and moral courage, featuring strong performances by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. Critics commend the film's visuals, costumes, and music, though many note uneven pacing, a rushed story, and less memorable songs. Some find it lacks the original's emotional depth and charm, while others appreciate deeper character development and 'The Wizard of Oz' integration. The darker tone receives mixed reactions, making it a generally well-received but less impactful sequel.
