Enjoyed the first movie, but I had no interest in shazam family adventures and thought the whole power sharing gimmick was the weakest part of the first movie.

I'm not sure I saw a single bit of advertising for it before it released

They just need to give us the Pre-New 52 version of Shazam. The happy go lucky Billy who looks at the world with hope, instead of the broody New 52 version they went with. The kid who wants to be a hero, to do good and help people.

Yup. The first one really dropped in quality when the rest of the family shows up.

Thats a shame. I really enjoyed it. Far more than Black Adam

I disagree, I think it was the stronger part of the movie and emphasizes the whole point of the movie.

I just think no one had any interest in both Shazam and Black Adam on their own and a sequel with both of them facing off against each other would've been better, but of course The Rock has to be a control freak and say no to it because he wants Black Adam to be a hero rather than an anti-hero.

I used to like Dwayne but this DC business really soured me on him. I wish WB had stood up to him

Not Including black adam was a huge mistake. Hell adapting the Shazam animated movie would have been the wisest choice here tbh.

They definitely overestimated the rocks appeal by a landslide to allow his ego to train wreck everything.

I think the problem is nobody watched it and has no real opinion. Even here most of the conversation is about the first movie.

Everyone already knows they're rebooting the DCEU so interest is probably low. Plus superhero movies seem on a downward trend.

Black Adam was better even though The Rock is a douche

That's unfortunate. The first one was my favorite DCEU movie

People legit did not know the movie came out. I remember it being announced they were making it, nothing. Wasn't till I started hearing about it bombing that people realized it existed. Add on to this, the whole DC reboot and the overall failure of its peers, it's failure is not surprising.

Anyone surprised really?

It's a sequel to a film that wasn't especially popular, set in a universe they told us was now defunct, released 5 months after Black Adam with zero crossover because of the Rock's ego, that just limped into cinemas on very little marketing (or at least in my area)

Pretty much this. Bad timing is a big part of the problem, but nuking the DCEU was the major factor.

I knew it was coming out, I didn't realize it was already out. They were advertising it heavily when it was announced, why did they stop advertising it once it hit theaters?
