After four years of waiting, another film in the SHAZAM series is finally here. During the IMAX premiere of SM Cinema at SM Megamall last night, I had the pleasure of being one of the first people in the country to watch SHAZAM: Wrath of Gods.
If you liked the first movie, you’re going to love this movie. This one is full of exciting OMG laughs and WOW moments, you don’t want to miss a thing. The mythical creatures, villains, and visuals are so exciting, I felt like I was in a magical theme park while watching it.
BTW, don’t leave the movie theater even after the credits are over, there are two eggs That last one will have you just as excited for what’s to come! Also, always keep an eye out for the large number of cameos and easter eggs.
We were asked to dress up as our favorite DC superheroes and, of course, I was Wonder Woman, which was perfect for this movie.
