- 75USA TodayBrian TruittUSA TodayBrian Truitt“Fury” piles on the mythos, monsters and magic, a smidge too heavily at times, but stays grounded, thanks to its earnestly goofy main man.
- 70IGNTom JorgensenIGNTom JorgensenShazam! Fury of the Gods may not pull the heartstrings like its predecessor, but there’s no shortage of the chaotic good humor and energetic performances that put Billy Batson and the Shazamily on the map.

- 63TheWrapWilliam BibbianiTheWrapWilliam BibbianiWhen Shazam! Fury of the Gods tries to look like a big blockbuster action movie it comes across as perfunctory and soulless. The fury signifies nothing. The heart is where this movie’s home is.

- 60The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawThis new Shazam film is cordial, with a puppyish good nature and an awareness of its own silliness.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckLike some children who aren’t so cute anymore after they’ve grown up a little, this follow-up lacks much of the appeal of its predecessor. While the film provides the elaborate action set pieces, colorful villains and save-the-world plot mechanics expected of the comic book movie genre, some of the magic is missing.
- 42ColliderRoss BonaimeColliderRoss BonaimeThere is potential within the Shazam! films that have never quite been met. Especially with this latest installment, this often feels like DC’s attempt at having a Spider-Man-esque character in their roster, and if you squint, you can almost see that possibility.
