Excerpt from some reviews:
Film: "Shazam 2" focuses on the key points of a comic book movie. The acting is very good, the sense of humor is very strong, and the stakes are also high. It has a comic book-like momentum and visual effects that can only be seen in comic books. .
USA TODAY: "Shazam 2" is full of myths, monsters, and magic. It is too heavy in some places, but because of its serious and dull protagonist, it is very grounded.
Colloder: In the "Shazam" movies, there are some potentials that have never been realized, especially this new work. It often feels like DC wants to come up with a Spider-Man-like character in its own world. Open your eyes and you can see this possibility.
Empire: The second Shazam is bigger, weirder, and funnier than the first, and despite some tiresome episodes, it's still entertaining. Who wouldn't want to see Helen Mirren play an all-powerful Greek goddess?
Screendaily: Fans have seen most of the film, but Levi at least tries to make it fly.
Los Angeles Times: This may have been a shitty Skittles ad masquerading as a superhero, but it was Levi's performance that sent it into the loathsome stratosphere.
