Originally, Sandberg wanted the scene to include actual Justice Society members Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell) and Hawkman (Aldis Hodge). With the old DC Universe coming to a close and the new James Gunn/Peter Safran universe at the near-horizon, "Fury of the Gods" is stuck in sort of a weird limbo, and we're going to guess a lot of fans aren't interested in a franchise film that isn't clearly connected to the rest of the series, especially since Shazam isn't as big a hero as, say, the Flash or Aquaman. Instead, that probably has more to do with the fact that "Shazam! Fury of the Gods" exists in a weird space, DC-wise. However, the film's upbeat tone probably isn't what's dooming the movie at the box office. I don't know what else to say about that." Regarding the film's critics, Rachel Zegler tweeted, "It's just cool to hate on fun nowadays." On Instagram, Zachary Levi was quite upset with the film's performance, saying, "It's a real shame if comic book movies have gotten to a place where they have to be nothing but serious and nothing but intense and nothing but dark. To date, the "Shazam!" sequel has earned a total of $70.2 worldwide, prompting a bit of backlash from the creatives involved. No, it's nowhere near the best of the genre, but by keeping its stakes firmly rooted within the hopes and fears of a nuclear family unit, it has a heart that many recent superhero blockbusters have been sorely lacking." ![]() Our very own Alistair Ryder had a fun time watching "Fury of the Gods," comparing Sandberg's tone to Sam Raimi's and writing, "In a genre that's increasingly missing that human element, focusing entirely on the heroes and villains with no thought for the people and places they claim to protect, 'Shazam! Fury of the Gods' is an unexpected breath of fresh air. However, not everyone was so hard on the film. "The sense of wonder has gone," wrote Charlotte O'Sullivan of the London Evening Standard, with William Bibbiani of TheWrap saying, "The best parts of this new movie are drowned out by pointless CGI monsters and tedious action sequences." Many critics found the film to be too muddled and far less inspired than the first film. Currently, the film has a 52% critics' score based on 205 reviews. Sadly, "Fury of the Gods" found itself dealing with the fury of the critics. ![]()
