I've come to the conclusion that DC doesn't make good sequels. Wonder Woman was great. WW 1984 sucked. Shazam was really funny and clever. Shazam: Fury of the Gods was the opposite of that.
What a mess of a movie. Plot lines come and go. People get to die and then not be dead. There is a dome over the city and then there isn't a dome over the city then they remember they had a dome over the city and bring it back. Plot holes big enough to drive a dragon through.
My biggest gripe is that the character of Billy Batson is nothing like the character of Shazam. I find it quite annoying. Freddy Freeman must have negotiated for a bigger part in the movie because his love interest takes up a lot of screen time.
There were a few funny bits that gave me a chuckle, but not enough. Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu were sorely underused and made to speak some execrable dialogue. And the end had a total Deus Ex Machina. Ugh.
Come on, DC, get your act together. The two credits sequences were similarly bad.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
