Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023) review

Two of Greek god Atlas' daughters, Hespera (Helen Mirren) and Kalypso (Lucy Liu), appear in Athens to swipe the broken staff of the Wizard (Djimon Hounsou) and intend to use it (and a dragon) to wipe out all of Philadelphia (and plant The Tree of Life at Citizens Bank Park) - there to try to intervene are Billy Batson (Zachary Levi as an adult, Asher Angel as a teenager) and his fellow orphans, including Freddy (Adam Brody and Jack Dylan Grazer) and Mary (Grace Caroline Currey).  This section of the DC Extended Universe is, I'm assuming, supposed to be "self-aware" and "sarcastic" like Marvel's Deadpool movies, but it fails to be even mildly humorous or inventive, with the filmmakers just throwing heaps of CGI on the screen to compensate for the inherent emptiness of the story.  I'm not sure why someone of Dame Helen's stature would agree to be in this, but I figure she wanted to buy a lake house or something.  And everyone in town already knows the actual Philly Fiascos are the Flyers....
