Even if I spend a little time arranging the sand sculptures and smooth the plot, I will not lose my energy to the other side. The positioning is to be a fun movie for poor children, so there is no sense of scene and tension to talk about. The costumes are too earthy. After the collective transformation, the six brothers and sisters have a sense of cottage and the simple children's playground can hardly bear to look directly at them.

Humor is not equal to sand sculptures, and 2b is not equal to funny. Have you ever seen a Power Rangers before? It's the feeling of a group of children playing house, but it is not as pure as "The Clown". If you can't be funny and serious, you can't be amused from the heart like a silver guard, and you can't completely put everything aside like Deadpool, Shazam is really a little inferior.

[Shazam and Freddy confront armed robbers in convenience store]
Shazam: Gentlemen, why use guns when we can handle this like real men?
[Shazam takes gun of out robber's hand]
Freddy Freeman: Billy, look out!
[the other robber shoots him, the bullet ricochets off him]
Freddy Freeman: Bullet immunity. You have bullet immunity!
Shazam: [shocked] I'm bulletproof.
[they both laugh before Shazam's expression suddenly turns serious]
Freddy Freeman: [filming on his phone] Today is December 8th, and this video proof of authenticity. Shoot him again.
Shazam: [hands back the robber's gun] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Here, here. Go. Both of you! Come on. Go to town.
Freddy Freeman: Wait, wait, wait. We still don't know if the suit is bulletproof, or if you are. Shoot him in the face.
Shazam: Shoot me in the face. In the face?
[both robbers shoot Shazam in his face and the bullets ricochet off him]
Shazam: It kinda tickles.
[turning back to the robbers]
Shazam: You're dead.
[both robbers fly out the window in front of a couple]
Shazam: [walking out of store with junk food] Sorry about your window.
Freddy Freeman: Have a good night!
Shazam: But you're welcome for not getting robbed!

Freddy Freeman: [meets Billy; about his and Billy's foster parents] They seem nice, but don't buy it. It gets real Game of Thrones around here.
Billy Batson: [becomes nervous]
Freddy Freeman: Dude, just messing around! You look at me and you're like, "Why so dark? You're a disabled foster kid, you got it all!"
