Or, and hear me out, maybe it was not a very good movie.
I get that critics have a different perspective because they’ll see so many more movies and have a different interests than fans, but we’ve had decades now of them giving a pretty fair shake to superhero and popcorn movies and reviewing them on their own terms. If your sequel doesn’t do anything particularly interesting in that space, then the property or the cast had better be so beloved that people will go see it regardless. I haven’t really heard that anybody HATED Shazam 2, just that nobody gave a shit, and most of the review snippets on RT reflect that.
