  Billy and Shazam have different personalities. I really wish someone would point this out to the director. Unwatchable!

  No I don't have superhero movie fatigue.
  I have "bland generic ugly looking superhero movies not trying to do anything artistic or interesting fatigue" and I'm fucking exhausted

  There’s a scene in this movie where Zachary Levi is speaking to Helen Mirren’s character Hespera and he says, “I’ve watched all the Fast and Furious movies. And that’s why I know it’s all about family.”

  Oh really? If so, riddle me this Levi: who plays Magdalene Shaw, the mother of Deckard Shaw, Owen Shaw and Hattie Shaw, in The Fate of the Furious, Hobbs & Shaw, F9 and the forthcoming Fast X? AND WHY DO THEY LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THE GODDESS SITTING ACROSS FROM YOU??

  Vacates all the charm of the first and replaces it with…a dragon? Some bland villains? Uninspired action? The answer is, all of the above. Shazam! Fury of the Gods makes no attempt at being anything exciting and happily settles with being safe and dull.

  Review by Matt Singer ★★

  The creators of Shazam! Fury of the Gods faced a conceptual dilemma they never quite solved. The point and pleasure of the first Shazam! was watching a dumb teenager figure out how to be a superhero: Testing the limits of his powers, tentatively trying (and often failing) to do good. But by the end of movie, the kid had gotten the hang of the superhero game. He defeated a super-villain, saved Philadelphia, found the birth mother who’d abandoned him as a child, and gave a piece of his powers to his five foster siblings. So what’s left to do in the sequel?

  Not much, it seems. Shazam! Fury of the Gods is just sort of there, coasting on the residual good vibes and talented cast of its much-superior predecessor.

  Review by George Carmi ★★★ 112

  Maybe the back to back releases of Black Adam and the worst MCU movie, Quantumania, left a bad taste in my mouth and my expectations were wildly low, but Shazam 2 wasn’t all that bad. The corniness of the first is still present but I found myself decently entertained for 2 hours. To my absolute surprise the comedy actually hits more than I expected it to and this film also provides me with a level of heart and emotion I did not expect. We’re not winning any screenplay awards here but whatever, in a world where Black Adam and Quantu-trash-ia exist, Shazam 2 wasn’t nearly as bad or as insufferable to sit through.

  Review by 𝒜𝓂𝒶𝓃𝒹𝒶 𝒦.🏳️‍🌈 ★★★½ 26

  Shazam! Fury of the Gods while not reinventing the wheel, manages to capture the excitement and fun missing from a lot of Marvel’s recent endeavors.

  Picking up where the last film left off, we catch up with the crew doing their superhero thing and it feels fun and and entertaining.  There are hits and misses on the comedy and timing but when they land it’s good stuff.  As far as story is concerned, there’s nothing that hasn’t been seen before but there are a few surprises that will make the fans happy.  

  Overall, while feeling light on any real substance, there is enough here to enjoy and eat some popcorn to.
