Marginally better than the first. The letter-reading scene is hilarious and the jokes adjacent to it work fairly well. It does an okay job with the shazam family but again Levi doesn't behave like younger Billy enough. Meagan Good is the best as the youngest shazam hero but the others are fine. The antagonists are slightly more than one-dimensional too. Powers are inconsistent. CGI is adequate. Wonder Woman at the end was cringe 5000 that should have been removed.

The Big (1998) elements are almost gone leaving an extremely mediocre superhero movie behind.

Shazam! 2 lacks the novelty and freshness of the original, but it ultimately delivers a solid graphic novel experience, something that is becoming increasingly rare in modern cinema.

The action sequences in the first half hour, alongside lame dialogue and a predictable setup, makes the film feel like it's from the mid to late 2000's. Fury of the Gods picks as it goes along but never shakes the feeling that it's all be done before; from the Age of Mythology finale to Zegler (who delivers a solid performance) reminding of someone else every time she was onscreen. Overall the pace isn't bad (for a 130 minute film) but it's thoroughly underwhelming even with the odd good moment.

Levi's charisma is intact and he keeps things fun and entertaining, but not very memorable without Billy's other half. That is the movie's one big flaw: Underutilizing Angel meant losing the first movie's emotional core, which becomes all the more apparent by Angel selling the only scene with any gravitas in this one; needed more of that.
