Review of Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023) by Dubeau — 19 Mar 2023

Fury of the Gods wasn't really that great. The story feels like a series of sketches that miss cohesion. I think the premise was really good, but the execution and writing was poor. The fast dialogues (way too fast at time) and forced jokes broke the rhythm a lot.

I didn't feel invested in the characters because I didn't have time to do so. The CGI were a bit better then the first movie. But I couldn't help seeing some Green Lantern effects in there. The acting was unequal but that was to be expected.

But the movie focus too much on Freddy for my taste, and they gave him hyper fast dialogues, that didn't favour his character. The villains were' I don't know...just there. The music and sounds were ok.

I give it 53%. All the personal stuff is briefly skimmed and never truly explored. It's an action movie with barely any intelligible humour and any convincing drama.
