Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz's silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum). Glinda, meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. Under the instruction of Madame Morrible (Oscar® winner Michelle Yeoh), Glinda is deployed to serve as an effervescent comfort to Oz, reassuring the masses that all is well under the rule of The Wizard. As Glinda's stardom expands and she prepares to marry Prince Fiyero (Olivier award winner and Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey) in a spectacular Ozian wedding, she is haunted by her separation from Elphaba. She attempts to broker a conciliation between Elphaba and The Wizard, but those efforts will fail, driving Elphaba and Glinda only further apart. The aftershocks will transform Boq (Tony nominee Ethan Slater) and Fiyero forever, and threaten the safety of Elphaba's sister, Nessarose (Marissa Bode), when a girl from Kansas comes crashing into all their lives. 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.

Critics Consensus

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.

Audience Says

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

Coleman Spilde

Salon.com

By stretching this story to its absolute limits and removing its darkest components, there is no rousing plume of rage to compel the viewer. There is only emptiness: a hollow space where a heart should be, ready to be filled with cold, hard cash.

Filmspotting

For Good begins as a welcome improvement on part one – until a house-sized twist and a forced march to sync with the wonderful "Wizard of Oz" send the story spiraling into chaos.

Rated: 2/5

The more I watched this movie, the more I wondered "Why is this franchise so popular?"

Yasser Medina

Cinefilia

It's a dull and uninspired sequel that loses its charm because, among other things, each musical number is inflated to three times its length to accommodate the artificial singing of Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 5/10

Mark Meszoros

The News-Herald (Willoughby, OH)

When you scrape away all of that shiny production design and the rest of the dazzling dazzle, Chu, Erivo and Grande have given the world a tale of friendship that should be cherished for years to come. Consider gravity sufficiently defied.

Rated: 3.5/4

What is the truth? It may not be based on facts or reason; it’s what people agree on. Power can and should be used for good. "Wicked for Good" may not be defying gravity, but it’s an earnest conclusion to the epic musical saga.

Loved the movie - especially the word play in the song Change for Good. The actors and sets were spectacular. The last half hour could have been condensed and I would have liked more jaunty music but overall, i was enthralled.

Did not like the 3-D version, the depth of field was blurry and for the most part the film looked dark and blurry. The story was fun and well filmed and engaging. Great family movie! No need for the sexy scene. Commercial Hollywood at it most mediocre. Just enjoy that is not really bad. Take the kids, my teens liked it!
