Wicked: For Good, the second half of the Wicked movie duology, offers a beautiful, emotional, and thoughtful conclusion despite facing challenges from its source material. While it doesn't fully recapture the "stratospherically perfect" magic of the first film due to the musical's front-loaded hits and darker second act, it remains a good movie. The film shifts focus to Glinda's journey, with Ariana Grande raising her vocal performance, and maintains the compelling chemistry between Glinda and Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo). Jonathan Bailey's Fiyero also shows growth. The movie excels in its execution of iconic songs like "No Good Deed" and "For Good," and its world-building, sets, costumes, and makeup are stunning. The review highlights a "queer-coded" tension in the film, suggesting a missed opportunity to fully embrace the implied love between Glinda and Elphaba.Wicked: For Good, the second part of the Wicked movie duology, provides a beautiful and emotional conclusion despite the source material's challenges.
