#Shazam ! Fury Of The Gods Review

#Shazam! Fury of the Gods
2023 - English - Theatre
Starring : Zachary Levi , Asher Angel , Helen Mirren , Adam Brody , Ross Butler , Ian Chen and Lucy Liu
Directed by David F Sandberg

Plot : 17 yr Old Billy Batson who is trying so hard to keep his Superhero Family together has to face against the Daughters of Atlas, Hespera & Kalypso to protect their Realm from being taken over by God Monsters.

Zachary Levi is cool as Shazam ! His humour and one liners are terrific. Jack Dylan as Freddy gets a meatier role than Part 1 and has performed really well. Other cast like Lucy Liu, Helen Mirren , Ian Chen etc all get a template role and have done a decent performance. Dijmon Hounsou is fun!

Technically the film is on par with any other Superhero films of recent times .
Though nothing seems a standout like cinematography or music the film is technically neat.

David F Sandberg 's Plotline seems to be a bit serious than the previous installment. The character arc of Billy Batson and how he comes over his insecurities has been portrayed really well. The Post Credit scene is fun and will mostly decide Shazam's place in the future of DCEU .

Overall : Shazam! Fury of the Gods is a Quintessential Superhero Sequel that tries to build more to the character and shapes his future. The film is not funky and crazy as it's predecessor but still it's completely enjoyable and fun . Worth watching 

Rating : 3/5
