New ShazamMovie has more everything, but less charm
"Shazam! Fury of the Gods" - ★ ★ ½ Sequels, by nature, are more. Whatever the original had, just add more, the rule seems to be. Even more words in the title -- how often is a sequel's title shorter than the original?
In its favor, though, are some elements that lent the original its pleasures, especially Zachary Levi and his goofy efforts to play a youngster in an adult superhero body, and Jack Dylan Grazer as fast-talking, always-thinking best bud Freddy -- this time given a love interest in appealing Rachel Zegler. It also smartly drops colorless villain Dr. Thaddeus Sivana, who's apparently still in that lonely cell.
And there's a big new villain to fight -- actually three, the ancient Daughters of Atlas, who arrive in the human world to reclaim their stolen magic. The funniest parts of"Shazam!" and now its sequel involve the overlap between teen-human and superhero life. Witness the teen-designed secret lair, complete with all the Skittles and other junk food anyone would want There, we also learn what's currently occupying each of the siblings. The oldest, Mary, who studies organic chemistry for fun, is aching for college over superhero life. And Freddy wants to forge his own identity.
