DC Movie Review: ****Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023)

 In this movie our superheroes have two actors each, one for their normal person and one for their super hero person.  Shazam! is faced with a big test of his abilities as well as his character.  He is obsessed with Wonder Woman and keeps dreaming of her.  Three gods have stolen a staff which Shazam! discarded in the first movie.  They steal it from a museum.  With the staff, and their own powers they wreck havoc on the world.  Our team of superheroes, the Philly Fiascos, have their hands full.  The spend a lot of time dodging, but Pedro is not good a dodging.  The bolt from the staff takes your powers away.  An interesting character in the movie is Anthea.  She is one of the evil gods, but is also enamored with Freddy, one of the superheroes.  The wizard also has a prominent part, first with Freddy as the escape captivity together.  Kalypso is very very evil.  She is determined to eliminate all mankind as a punishment for past perceived wrongs.  Hespera is the third evil gos, but she changes before the end of the movie.  She wants her powers back but not at the expense of all humanity.

Movie Review: ***Spellbound(2024)

 This is an animated feature with Rachel Zegler portraying the Princess Ellian whose parents, the King Solon (Javier Bardem) and Queen Ellsmere (Nicole Kidman) who have been turned into monsters.  The princess and the consorts, Bolinar (John Lithgow) and  Nazara (Jenifer Lewis) are the only ones who know.  However on the princess' birthday the entire kingdom finds out.  They want to make the princess queen and exile the monsters.  The princess wants her parents restored and takes off with them following a light, to accomplish this.  The army is in pursuit.  

This movie has a twist at the end, and ends up being more about compromising, rather than getting everything back to the way it was.

This movie is available on Netflix
