    Cynthia Erivo's outstanding perfomance and the part of dividing critics and fans on how dark it is, because it is dark, it is the second act of the musical of course. The No Good Deed one of Cynthia is SO SO GOOD

  • [11]Brent Marchant @Brent_MarchantTMDB review · Nov 23, 2025 · Rated 7/10

    Splitting a single story into two movies is a risky production decision that sometimes pays off and sometimes doesn’t. Is it truly merited artistically speaking, or is it simply an attempt at an unabashed box office money grab? When the creators of the cinematic adaptation of the smash hit Broadway musical Wicked announced in 2022 that they would be depicting the material through two films, the decision was met with …

    People are mad that Wicked didn’t get any noms and I’m over here going, “Did you actually watch that movie?” Anyway, they should have done it as a single film with an intermission. Would have been more of a spectacle. Probably would have forced the award issue a little more.

How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 247 public posts we collected about this film and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post).

Tickets for Wicked: For Good went on sale on October 8, 2025.

    The main difference between Wicked the stage musical and Wicked the movie is that in the stage musical it’s obvious that Glinda is a lesbian and Elphaba is a bisexual woman. In the movie it’s the other way around

    “Wicked” and “Gladiator 2” are both now streaming. 4 weeks after release. $40-$60 for three people to see a film vs $20 at home. Almost no incentive to go to the theater anymore. Got to go back to 6-9 months between the big screen and small.

    my fundamental issue with Wicked is that the brilliance and power of the Wizard of Oz movie (1939) is that *Oz is not a real place* it is the dream of a young girl whose life is already a tragedy (parents dead) and is going nowhere fast (stuck in Kansas, town controlled by Gulch/Wicked Witch)

    For me, sometimes the pure bleakness of fictitious horror is what gives me strength and hope. A great example is the film THE DARK AND THE WICKED, which is an ultra bleak, HEREDITARY-style film. It centers on caring for a dying parent, something I've experienced. BUT THEIRS IS SO MUCH WORSE.
