Billy Batson, aka Shazam, and his five adopted brothers must return to save the world. This time, they face the Daughters of Atlas, who wish to steal and use Billy and his siblings' magical abilities to destroy the human world. Even though the story itself is cliche and offers nothing new, I really enjoyed it because the emotions and chemistry between the characters are strong. I liked the first Shazam film, and I didn't expect the sequel to be this much better. The plot moves quickly and directly to the point. As villains, Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu are intimidating and pose a genuine threat. Rachel Zegler and Grace Caroline Currey are stunningly beautiful and completely steal the show. The action sequences are fantastic, and the jokes are funny. The battle between our heroes and enemy monsters in the third act of this movie somehow kinda remind me of the Percy Jackson films because there are minotaurs, chimeras, cyclops, and so on. If you want to see a fun, light film with exciting action and a wholesome family theme, see Shazam! Fury of Gods in theaters. It is one of the year's best popcorn films. The audience in the studio where I was watching laughed along with me, and it appeared that they enjoyed it too.
