The first Shazam movie is a funny and very enjoyable. I can't wait to see the next one. Until I watched this.
This time our superhero Shazam and his family are up against old Gods when they try to make earth as their second home even if that means to kill every other human. They have staff that could seal Shazam power. With superpower like mind control, material manipulation, space control, and many mythical creatures including dragon, chimeras, minotaurs, etc. Shazam and his family are overpowered.
Yeah, that sound exciting. But not too much in reality. This movie has a lot of problem. One that sticks out is the personality difference between Shazam and Billy Batson. His other brothers and sisters not that much difference. Billy is more quiet and more serious than his superhero persona.
And a lot plot hole. In this movie the magic staff is dangerous in the hand of the villain. But Shazams plan to steal it is too ridiculous. He is proven could outspeed his enemies yet he chose brawl, and then overpowered also outsmarted. When the city is locked by magic barrier the citizen didn't look very concerned about it and continue live as if nothing happens. And some more.
But the surprising thing in this movie is Jack Glazer as Freddie. He shown serious acting chop here. Very versatile. I sure hope to see him in other movie after this.
Overall this movie isn't as good as the first one. Yes this is still enjoyable. But could have been better.
