First Reactions To 'Wicked: For Good': Just As Good As The First Part?

Various entertainment writers have already seen the film, and here’s what they think about it.

Wicked: For Good has already had its first screening. The sequel to last year's biggest fantasy film is guaranteed to make a lot of money at the box office, but is it also good?

Last night, reactions appeared online. These are not full reviews yet, as it is unfortunately too early for that. However, viewers were allowed to post brief messages on social media, and here we have compiled them for you.

Reactions


"There is a lot to love," writes Destiny Jackson from Deadline on X. "[Wicked: For Good] is an epic and heartbreakingly tender conclusion to one of the most dynamic friendships [in] pop culture."

Her reaction is one of many. Entertainment writer David Gordon describes the film as "super emotional" and writes: "It’s a thrill ride and heartbreaking, and it’s sexy and everything you want it to be."

Actors


Much praise is directed at the performances of Cynthia Erivo (Elphaba) and Ariana Grande (Glinda). "[They] elevate their performances to a higher level with breathtaking acts," says Chris Murphy from Vanity Fair.



"[Director] Jon M. Chu is a genius," writes Jazz Tangcay from Variety. "Cynthia Erivo is amazing, but get ready for Ariana Grande, as she takes this performance to the next level and delivers a tour de force."

Next Month
