not bagi chance.. but because when captain marvel/shazam first came out the publisher got sued by dc because the character was too similar to superman... then the comic was shut down.. during the time the comic was put down.. marvel came out with their own captain marvel.. then when dc decided to resurrect the comic they can't use the name captain marvel anymore.. so have to change to shazam

hhhmmm.

let me start by saying i like aquaman a lot. it is way better than marvel's black panther.

so we have round 2 here. captain marvel vs shazam.
personally i like shazam over captain marvel.

but a few very noticable comparisons, shazam cgi wasn't very good. especially when it comes to the character flying. it just looks cheesy and cheap.
but humour wise, it definitely beats captain marvel.

the story is quite simple. with a lot of heart. a fun movie and nothing more.
i think the trailer did a good job of not showing the best bits in the movie.
let's just say it's 5 times the fun when you finally find out.

and the ending scene (not the post credit scenes), make me laugh my ass out.

but i still prefer aquaman.

Aquaman's world building is top notch, but it was made with 200 million budget
Shazam was made with 80 million budget, ok la. Actually the cgi is pretty good for the most part, except a few scenes. But the story was so good that I forgot about the cgi

Well for a second or third tier dc hero, guess it's reasonable for what it is as a film. The biggest role that I can remember Shazam did on the dc books was Kingdom Come and maybe a part of the Flashpoint storyline. Tonally it has the vibe of 80's Big and Goonies. Wish fulfilment of kids running their smart ass mouth. All in all they did good on the Shazam's family aspect and might synergize with a rumoured 2019 relaunch by Geoff Johns.

It is not by any means a good movie as in, still got a villain problem and like WW where you need to ignore the shortcomings and just enjoy what it is. The heart and charming cast members simply connect with the audience. At the bare minimum now you can't fathom anybody but Zachary Levi is "the" actor for Shazam.

The big takeaway for me is DC able to bring lesser known heroes to the screen. This will certainly ease audience into the rich catalogue of smaller characters. Now they just need to deliver a through and through comic book movie experience on the level of Dark Knight, Logan, Spider-verse.

Shazam! (2019)

As Alpha 5 from Power Rangers would say, Aiya ya ya ya....

This movie is SO..... CHEESY!!!!

Wait wait wait...

First thing first, this is directed by David F. Sandberg (Lights Out (2016), anyone).

Probably one of my favorite horror movie in recent years.

The main lead in this movie is Shazam (duh), played by Zachary Levi (whom I liked alot in (Chuck 2007)).

Mark Strong plays the villain, Thaddeus Sivana... and was he not also the main villain in Green Lantern? Oh wait, not DCEU canon....

Shazam is actually the acronym for Solomon (wisdom), Hercules (strength), Atlas (stamina), Zeus (power), Achilles (courage), and Mercury (speed).

Billy Batson/Asher Angel is magically transported to the Rock of Eternity and was bestow with the power of Shazam by the wizard.

The reason he was bestowed the said power if to fight again the Seven Deadly Sins: Pride, Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, and Sloth that had taken over Thaddeus Sivana.

As Michael Buffer would say, "Let's Get Ready To Rumble!!".

Here is my experience with this movie.... I am more interested in Billy Batson back story, compared with his growth into the superhero Shazam.... Weird right.

What I am trying to say is I am more sold by Asher Angel as Billy Batson than I am by Zachary Levi as Shazzam...

Am I making sense?

Jack Dylan Grazer is proving to be a really good actor.

The Marvel Family/The Shazam Family is also introduce.

Am disappointed that with all the characters introduces, Mister Tawky Tawny, wasn't...

My Two Sen.

Honestly it was sorta boring. Watchable but can skip. Some parts are funny but most are very forced. Very low budget and the fight shows it.

The acting, besides Zachary Levi and Mark Strong are rather weak. Zachary Levi made a very convincing performance as a kid in adult body, the other actors? Not so much and was cringe worthy. Mark Strong still as awesome as ever
