Earlier this month, WICKED: FOR GOOD, the second part of the film adaptation of the global musical phenomenon Wicked, finally arrived in cinemas.
The film, directed by Jon M Chu, stars Cynthia Erivo (The Color Purple) as Elphaba, Ariana Grande (13 the Musical) as Glinda, and Jonathan Bailey (Company) as Fiyero. The supporting cast also includes Marissa Bode, Ethan Slater, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum.
In the first of a new series called WICKED WEEKENDS, to take place over the next few weekends, Mickey-Jo is rounding up some of the film's more negative reviews and commentary in order to answer the question: why did (some of) the critics hate this film?!
Make sure to SUBSCRIBE for more Wicked content coming on Wednesdays over the next month and share your thoughts about the film in the comments!
