ShazamFuryOfTheGods Review: A Fun Superhero Romp With Shaky Execution
As the first DC movie to arrive since the official announcement of DC Studios, Shazam! Fury of the Gods is in a unique position as a project from a different era. Audience members probably know DC's cinematic landscape will change drastically in the coming years, though this new effort, made during a time when Henry Cavill was still considered Superman, makes a case for these heroes to be included in whatever is coming next for the franchise.
Before Hespera and Kalypso make their first move against the Shazam family, however, Gayden and Morgan lay the groundwork for some solid character work for Billy. The first movie established his abandonment issues, stemming from his biological mother leaving him behind, and his hesitance to settle into his new foster family. Shazam! Fury of the Gods picks this up by exploring his reluctance to let his siblings go, even while he resists accepting foster mom Rosa as a true parent.
Furthermore, Shazam! Fury of the Gods' impact is hindered by a third act that drags on for too long. It's a climax that stretches across the streets of Philadelphia and involves a number of mythological Greek monsters, yet quickly gets repetitive since the conflict really only boils down to two characters . By that point, Shazam! Fury of the Gods lost some of the excitement that came before, even though the stakes were supposedly higher.
