STEP 2 HERE IS A FILM REVIEW ON THE FILM
Wicked: For Good has received broadly positive reviews from critics - but many are far less spellbound than they were by the first film.
The much-anticipated sequel, released on Friday, sees Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande reprise their roles as Elphaba and Glinda in the origin story of the Wicked Witch of the West.
The Wizard of Oz spin-off, adapted from the hugely successful stage musical, is originally based on a 1995 book by Gregory Maguire.
The i paper's Francesca Steele said: "It doesn't quite reach the heights of Part One, but this is still a highly entertaining display of what musical theatre can do on screen with top level performances and a true affection for the world-building."
Many critics were less enthusiastic. "There's no magic in this aimless slog of a sequel," said the Independent's Clarisse Loughrey in a two-star review.
He suggested the central pair's friendship "rings false", adding: "What should be piercing, impassioned moments are by turns frivolous and sappy."
However, Kevin Maher of the Times was much more positive, awarding the film four stars.
"They've only gone and done it," he said. "The makers of this musical sequel have delivered a film that surpasses last year's box-office smash in verve, ambition and emotional ache."
Many critics highlighted Grande's performance in Wicked: For Good, with several predicting another supporting actress nomination at the Oscars in March.
Variety's Peter Debruge said the pop star shows "fragility" in her more "nuanced" performance.
In his Empire review of Wicked: For Good, Nugent concluded: "The tone is different from that of the first film: less peppy, more glum. . all the characters are much less cheerful than they were last time around, and as a result it's less enjoyable for us to watch."
