Shazam – Fury of the Gods picks up two years after the events of the first film.

For the past decade and a half, we have been inundated with superhero movies. We have watched and waited with baited breath for the next installment of our favorites. Shazam? It was fun the first time around but you wouldn’t really say “Hey, when’s the next one?” Well, Shazam Fury of the Gods snuck in quietly and made the big red guy a sure favorite.

Having Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu in this second installment lent weight to it all. The past year has made me slightly cynical with the women power movement of Hollywood but this movie made it feel natural. Nothing was in your face, nothing was rammed down your throat. There were powerful women but they weren’t trying to make any sort of statement.

The humor is irreverent, and slightly immature but it works with the premise. While the stakes are high enough to cause tension, the movie does not take itself too seriously at all. It is superhero entertainment dialed up to wacky.
