SHAZAM! Fury of the Gods (2022)

Looks.....decent.

I'll kind of chuckle if it's Shazam that ends up saving the DCU.

Anywhere to stream it?

Exclusively in theatres, as it should be.

Loved the "You know I'm a pedestrian right?" and then there's Annabelle at the table! ROFL

Oh, for a movies sake I agree. Dune cost themselves a couple hundred million dollars by not only being in theaters.

Looks fun like the first one. The DC universe isn't the same without Superman though.

While DC is in a strange state as of late, there seemed to be some idea that Shazam and its star Zachary Levi might be one character/actor pair to survive the transition from the DCEU, as the actor hinted as much ahead of the release of the sequel, Fury of the Gods.

But now that both reviews and box office returns are in, that’s looking less and less likely to be the case, and Shazam may go the way of his rival, Black Adam.

Review scores, first off, are poor. The original Shazam was the third highest reviewed film in the DCEU with a 90%. The sequel, same star, same director, is a 53%, only above the original Suicide Squad, Batman V Superman, Justice League and Black Adam itself, which had a 39%. Audience scores are better at a very solid 87% and B+ Cinemascore, but what matters most, the box office, is where the film appears to be performing the worst...
