Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023)
The first 'Shazam!' was a colourful and fun adventure and did make most of us feel as though Warner Bros and DC had finally realised that they didn't need to be all gloom and doom for their comic book adaptations. It was fresh, entertaining and funny. Sure, it wasn't the best film out there, but sometimes just a bit of lighthearted fun can go a long way. The follow-up has issues, but mostly sticks to the lighthearted approach, but it will probably not be as memorable because of the fairly poorly written villains this time around. And some other minor niggles, but we'll get to that. A few years have passed and now the Shazam family is almost in full swing. They operate as a team, because Billy wants everyone to do everything together. But because in essence they are all still kids, they fumble, stumble and fail, which unfairly causes the city to call them the 'Philadelphia Fiascoes'. Bit harsh, because they do manage to save a lot of people. This is a sort...
