Shazam! Fury of the Gods - MOVIE REVIEW

Published: March 18, 2023, 2:14 p.m.

Hey everyone, the sequel to the 2019 DC hit - Shazam! Fury of the Gods - has now hit theatres. I, unfortunately, had to wait a to see it because I was a little under the weather but I have now seen it and I can finally understand what people've been saying about this for the past couple of days. While I was a fan of the first Shazam!, this was easily my least anticipated DC film of the year because the trailers just seemed like this sequel had lost all of the heart and charm of the first movie, trading it for generic superhero stuff. Was I right in my concerns... or is Shazam! Fury of the Gods a GREAT entry into the DCEU? Find out in this SPOILER-FREE review.\nShazam! Fury of the Gods:\nDirected by: David F.
