Today, we went to see the movie Wicked for Good...a sequel to Wicked.
While I am a Wizard of Oz fan, I was not a huge fan of this movie. I would give it a B. However - because it has a connection to the original 1939 movie - there were definitely a whole host of plot flaws here. First, some of the events that happened in the OG Wizard were absent from this one, from the ruby slippers going to Dorothy to the events unfolding over a long period of time, and the notion that the Scarecrow seems intent on stopping the Witch.
Absent the plot flows, it did not seem to have the pizazz of the first movie from last year as well. It was not quite of a showstopper and the ending, though creative, was also predictable.
I will say the acting was a little on the sloppy side as well. While I typically am a Ariana Grande fan, this performance was - YIKES. Way over the top to the point that her acting distracted me.
So, while I like the premise and am always a fan of the original book, this just did not do it for me.
