Yes, the first one was way better. I rated it a 7/10 and I would rate this one 6/10 if I didn't watch it right after Black Adam, which I did rate 6/10. This is when I wish we had half stars here because it's better than Black Adam, but not as good as the first Shazam. It's definitely more fun and entertaining than the critics led me to believe. Sure, there is some bad acting in there and everything is very predictable but it's on par with a lot of other superhero movies (especially DC) so it really is to be expected. And so just like Black Adam, know what you're in for, grab your snack and drink of choice and you'll be entertained for 1.5 hours.
