'Shazam: Fury Of The Gods' review: Fun but formulaic old-school superhero flick

The DC cinematic universe is due for an overhaul, but before that, we’ve still got a few more 'leftovers' from the last regime to enjoy. Besides Shazam: Fury Of The Gods, we’ve also got The Flash, Blue Beetle and Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom to look forward to this year, before the James Gunn revolution takes over and lays the Snyderverse to rest once and for all.

Speaking of the Snyderverse, the kooky, comedic tone of 2019’s Shazam! Stood out like a sore thumb among the movies that came out in that particular period. But at least that sore thumb was more of a thumbs up compared to last year’s dismal Dwayne Johnson-starring Black Adam.
