Inconsistencies and issues aside, Shazam 2 hits the comic book movie sweet spot. The performances are strong, the humor lands, and the stakes feel high with comic book panache and the kinds of visuals one only gets in a comic book (business-destroying minotaurs, anyone?). Read full review

It’s charming — and it’s different, and it’s worth saving. Read full review

It’s not as good as the first Shazam movie, which explored what it’s like to be a superhero when, in reality, you’re still just a kid. In this sequel, that aspect is still mentioned quite a bit, but not really explored. Read full review

Sandberg started his career in small horror films, and doesn’t seem to have much ambition to scale up. Most of the sequences are cut from medium shots strung together without much style — they may as well be a "Saturday Night Live” sketch. Read full review

Messy and mirthless, it resounds as the death knell for this interconnected cinematic enterprise’s current iteration. Read full review

Is it a tragedy of genre saturation, both movie-haltingly flashy and deeply unimpressive. Everything is constantly moving and you don’t feel a thing. Read full review

With sub-par material, Levi pretending to be a kid and naively shouting and pouting has turned grating. Read full review

Better than the first, sucks we won’t get more from these characters since these new guys want to change it up and not bring back some of the good actors

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. La pelicula me gusta, buena comedia y acción entretenida, la pelicula no se me hizo larga, al contrario, me divertí tanto viéndola que se me fue el tiempo volando y me gusta el desarrollo de la relación de Freedy y Anthea
Lo que no me gustó es que Pedro y Eugene se sienten un poco desaprovechados, pudieron darles un poco mas de protagonismo, y ahora lo que si odié fue ese final, la muerte de Billy estuvo Genial, me gusto que hicieran madurar al personaje haciendo que se sacrificara para salvar a la tierra y la escena del entierro de Billy es emotiva... hubiera sido perfecto que lo dejaran así PERO esa parte de la mujer maravilla reviviendo a Billy se siente tan "Forzado y fuera de lugar" es innecesario.

en resumen, el inicio estuvo bien, la parte del medio fue genial, ese climax espectacular pero esa escena de la mujer maravilla y lo que pasa después es tan Forzado y molesto… Expand

After Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Shazam! Fury of the Gods is the second superhero films of 2023. And it is also a half-misfortune.

Fury of the Gods is the second superhero films of 2023. And it is also a half-misfortune. Disappointing film that cannot be compared to its predecessor in the slightest. The (old) Hamada-branded DC management had approved these films (and by these I mean Black Adam and Shazam! Fury of the Gods), since, according to him, he was betting on them a lot because the result from the test screens had been positive. Well, what to say, fortunately the management has changed because by continuing at this rate we would have remained in the most absolute mediocrity. Calypso wasted and Esphera does what she can with very little available. Jack Grazer true protagonist of the film with Asher Angel not received. Plot that was fine for a 2005 superhero films. The question that now appears more evident is: won't the superhero films formula and movement start to get a little tired? Won't it take some improvement and evolution?… Expand

I gave this franchise as much of the proverbial "benefit of the doubt" as I could muster and it still wasnt enough to win me over. Both movies were inept, lazy and creatively bland.

Both movies were inept, lazy and creatively bland. These super hero directors clearly don't understand comics, they violate orginal content and value nothing but their own ego's. The movie has the audacity to have the original Billy Batson in the movie regulated to some basic extra. Its insulting and careless. Have lost just about all faith in DC and Marvel is not far behind. Is it even possible to make a super hero movie about the character and not someones convoluted vision.… Expand

Generic, cliche, predictable, childish in a bad way, parody, no real investment, no character arc, cheap cameos that are only there so people can say “she is from the other movie!” and nothing else
