Jason's Review of Shazam! Fury of the Gods 2023 ★★★
Watched Mar 24, 2023 I really loved the first Shazam! and I still really like all these characters, but this movie and the storyline in...
DC wins. It’s just a stranger, richer, more interesting cinematic world. And this is a titanic achievement. Goes beyond just another superhero movie into truly great fantasy filmmaking, something deeper, more mythic. Can’t believe they took this movie and botched it so bad back in 2017 with that instantly-forgettable version.
I wasn’t one of the people campaigning for the “Snyder cut,” even though I’m a fan of most of Zack Snyder’s films, but now I sure am glad for those who did.
