Wicked: For Good Lacks the Magic of Part One (Review)

Even before filming began, Wicked: For Good faced some hurdles. The second act of Wicked is traditionally considered weaker than the first, with a faster pace, more plot developments, and less memorable songs. Director Jon M. Chu clearly recognized these issues and tried to improve them, but in doing so, other weaknesses became more apparent. The resulting film is decent, but it would have been much stronger if it had been split into two parts, rather than attempting to tell the entire story in one movie.
