Wicked 2: For Good Movie Review
Wicked: For Good doesn’t just continue the story — it transforms it. Here’s why the sequel hits harder, goes darker, and lands emotionally where it counts.
Spoilers Ahead!
Wicked: For Good Review Explained opens with the promise of a sequel that not only continues the story of Elphaba and Glinda but deepens everything audiences loved about the first film. This follow-up picks up years after Defying Gravity, diving straight into the political tension of Oz and the fractured friendship at its core.
In this review, Screen Rant breaks down how director Jon M. Chu maintains the seamless tone and musical energy of the original while expanding the emotional stakes. Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba is now operating from the shadows, branded the Wicked Witch of the West, while Ariana Grande’s Glinda tries to uphold her “Good” persona despite the growing cracks in her life. The film’s early pacing issues, visual roughness, and limited world-building are acknowledged, but its greatest strengths quickly emerge once the two women’s paths cross again.
We highlight the standout sequences, including the Tin Man origin scene, the darker tone of Oz’s political turmoil, and how songs like “No Good Deed” and the title duet “For Good” become emotional anchors. Fans searching for Wicked 2 review, Wicked: For Good musical analysis, and deep-dive breakdowns of the film’s character arcs will find everything they need here.
Wicked has always been about unlikely friendship, and this sequel understands that better than ever.
