Review of Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023) by Valbal — 10 Apr 2023

The movie is kind of forgettable and predictable in not a good way but at the same time I don't think it’s a piece of crap of a movie like many critics implied. I think some people are hypocritical when it comes to judging this one too harshly because so many MCU projects that are of the similar quality get praise.

Also, this movie came out at the worst time possible when it sort of feels like a last breath of a dead franchise. I feel like this one could have benefited a lot by being longer and expanding on the family themes they tried to hang their emotional side of the movie on.

Definitely, in the beginning there was a lack of that, of any character meaningful scenes. It started as a Saturday morning cartoon and ended as if there were 4 films before that established these characters.
