Live Reaction / Review for Shazam: Fury of the Gods. Ok let's start. I will be reacting/reviewing as I watch the movie. The first Shazam movie was mediocre in my opinion and gave it a rating of 6/10. Let's see if Shazam 2 is better or worse. The movie starts with some shots of Athens which I appreciate cause im Greek. Are these villains witches? Turning everyone into stone? No they are gods, ok. ''I feel like a fraud''. Yup coming from Levi, sounds right. With so many members for the Shazam family I don't know how much they will be able to develop these characters, gonna be a challenge. Ok when I reached 25 minutes I fell asleep, im not kidding. I mean I was tired from work but I never sleep while watching movies. Is this me being tired or this is already a cure for insomnia? Shazam is so goofy, acting like he ate too much sugar plus 10 energy drinks, and it's weird because the kid behaves in a more mature way. What the hell is this scene with the Wonder Woman wizard? I laughed at how bad this is. This is extremely forced comedy.

You need to know when to use jokes and how to use them, not all moments are the same. Really bad timing here. Can't take anything that is going on seriously. Like they talk about a huge threat but at the same time we have non-stop cringe humor, pathetic. But it was a dream? Was it really? I don't know. I think it is a warning from the wizard. Billy and Shazam are supposed to be the same person right? It feels like him and Shazam have nothing in common. Ive watched only 36 minutes and I really wanna stop, I don't like it at all. Lol the other dude tells him that he lacks the wisdom of Solomon, damn so true 100%. Wait, one of these goddesses goes to school? What? Why? When it comes to the shazam family, Levi looks really really old compared to them and its weird, like he is their dad or something. No matter how much hair dye and make up you use, cant change that. ''Anyone else want a gatorade?'' damn the humor in this movie, just bad. I still don't understand why one of the daughters of Atlas went to school, what was the point?

To infiltrate the shazam family or something? I hope she explains why later in the movie (she doesnt). Ok, ive watched 1 hour. My rating for the first hour is 3/10. Once again joking about the wisdom he is supposed to have, its like the writers know that this character looks completely immature and try to make fun of it but its not funny. I stopped the movie yesterday because I couldn't watch more but today ill finish this review. The dragon is kind of ridiculous but its not like im 100% against it. The CGI doesn't look good though, its not awful but it could be better. Its still a mystery to me what kind of powers these villains have, its not clear at all. Dragons, unicorns, cyclopes, mythical beasts, random stuff to try and hide how empty this movie is, absolutely superficial content. Its sad that the Shazam family doesn't do much, I don't understand why they even need to be in this movie. Out of the 3 villains, 2 are good? That's super lame. Also Shazam fighting the dragon was so dumb. I would prefer if he fought her with no dragons around. Wait so Shazam killed the villain? He has no kill rule or not? Hahaha.

The Wonder Woman cameo feels pointless. She was there just to be there but this cameo can't save this movie in any way. So that godess is thousands of years old but she is now with a teenager? Am I the only one who thinks thats super weird? Wow I don't know what to say. Everything went wrong with this movie. No character development, ridiculous villains, bad writing, mediocre acting and cgi, extremely unfunny humor, cringe and every superhero cliche you can imagine. Maybe the worst DC movie ever made. Skip this movie. My rating is 2.9/10.
