SHAZAM 2
Wow, DC gets it right again!
Just got back from this afternoon's showing. I actually liked this a lot more than the awful Ant-Man that I sat bored through.
I haven't seen the first one in awhile but I remember liking it cause it was just the right blend of action, comedy and seriousness (I remember the part where he found his mom and she didn't want him) and this film expands a lot of that from the first with Billy questioning his "hero" role.
Helen Mirren was hilarious (the part with the bird paper) and another DC hero makes an appearance that is really funny.

Closet Case. No thank you. Even a Wonder Woman cameo cannot save this. The irony of "releasing" Gal Gadot from the DC franchise then putting her in the commercials for Shazam2? This will lose money just like Black Adam.

The reviews are bad. REALLY bad. Even Hollywood Reporter trashed this mess......They also took a veiled swipe at the younger cast----"like some children who aren’t so cute anymore after they’ve grown up a little, this follow-up lacks much of the appeal of its predecessor."......LoL

Wow! You sound just like a regular movie-goer giving a spontaneous review and not a paid shill doing p.r. for a movie studio! I totally believe you!

BTW DC is already rebooting the Shazam Franchise with their next Shazam movie. I assume ZL and the bad acting twinks have aged out already.

I liked the first one but not enough that it needed a sequel.
Plus Zachary Levi has proven to be complete trash.

R10, there are actually 2 cameos...sort of.
The first is like Superman from the first film. You never see the face. Shazam and her are having a romantic dinner and when he leans into kiss her and we finally see a face...it is the Wizard who is trying to tell him about the danger of the daughters of Atlas. It is pretty funny and we then learn it was just Billy's dream.
The second time is at the end of the film. Billy has died defeating Kalypso and the dragon and they bury him in the magic land. The Wizard is holding the staff and says he couldn't save Billy cause there are no more gods.
Then you hear something like, "Well maybe still one..." and it is Gal Gadot and they play the WW theme. She then grabs the staff, thrusts it into the ground and lightning strikes it making the tree of life bloom.
Then you see Billy's arm punch through the surface of his grave and everyone screams, "Zombie!!!" It is pretty funny.
He then kind of hits on her saying he'll be 18 soon and she kind of brushes him off...in a cute way.
Again, I don't get the critics hate. It was just as good as the first film and maybe even better.
When the kids confess to the foster parents that they're superheroes, they're all like "we're heroes!" except Pedro who says, "I'm gay!" Then a real sweet moment where everyone admits they knew and will always love him.

Sad. Scream is doing better than expected and Shazam is underperforming.

The producers also did The Jeffersons. Jack shoulda had two black girl roomies. One a tranny hooker Named Bobcat. The other with a disability of having a huge vagina that caused her extreme pain and embarrassment. Richard Kline woulda been a pimp of Bobcat and other girls in the building. He'd be living the high life whilst also getting free rent due to providing free hos for Mr Furley.

James Gunn and Levi are apparently close friends. So sadly he's probably going to be one of the actors that stays around going forward no matter how bad this film is. If I were Asher and Jack I'd probably start looking for new jobs though.

I saw it on Thursday. I liked the first movie and thought this was a fun sequel. Is it groundbreaking? No, but it was fun for a couple of hours. It's a fucking comic book movie. It's no better or no worse than most other comic book movies. I wasn't expecting "Citizen Kane" or anything. I don't know what the critics were expecting. What exactly do they want from comic book movies? Because it doesn't seem that they like any of them much now. Well, except for Black Panther. But, you know.

Wow, this was a major flop.
Guess it explains why Zachary Levi and his shitty social media posts. He didn't give a fuck because he got paid and he knows his time as Shazam is over.

It was fine, it was fun. Mirren was really good and didn't go top cartoony and over-the-top the way some serious actors feel they need to do in comic book mo vies. Loved the cameo by 70s Billy Batson Michael Gray.

r39 Asher I get he's cute enough in a generic kind of way and has a good body and shows a lot of skin. His only downside is he seems completely lacking in any personality. Jack I think people just liked because he came out of the closet. Of course he tried to go back in the other month so peoples views may have changed.

Sorry to disappoint you, R31, but I'm not a shill. I'm just a guy who watched the movie and enjoyed it for what it was. I couldn't care less if it flops or not. I have no vested interest in its success or failure.

Do we think Jack got Asher to put out for him?
You know what’s interesting, in the first film. Billy and Freddy reminded me so much of Ryan and Seth in “The O.C.” Billy was like Ryan, the troubled kid who ends up with the foster family, and Freddy was like Seth, the geeky best friend into comic books. What’s funny is that Adam Brody played the grown up Freddy.

Levi is blaming marketing AND The Rock. This closet queen is full of himself.............. "Twitter Monday: “I think the biggest issue we’re having is marketing. This is a perfect family movie, and yet a lot of families aren’t aware of that. Which is just a shame.”

He may have a point on marketing but he can pretty much blame his buddy Gunn for that. He's rebooting the DC universe in June there's a reason WB have pretty much shoved this sequel to a moderately successful movie that came out way back in 2019 out to die.

Gunn at DC is like Licht at CNN.....Both are overrated, lousy at their jobs, and neither seems to produce hits. I wouldn't be surprised if WB has Ezra Miller under 24/7 lock and key until the Flash movie comes out. I don't believe for one minute he is cured of anything. He was going out and clubbing and getting arrested until WB stepped in.
