      Heroes are okay (children's hearts), villains are too weak

      The villain has no sense of being a villain at all. Except for killing the person in the office at the beginning, there is no achievement in the villain. Is it a lack of funds, or the fall of the times. This kind of villain who can't even keep up with gang behavior, weak chicken. To find Shazam, go to his house? What operation? The normal villain is not that if you don't come to see me, I will kill you. I kill one person in 1 minute. until you see me. This is the villain ok? Do things...

      true hero

      First of all, Shazam is not as good as Aquaman in terms of box office volume. It is indeed because the drama is not fun enough to satisfy the "bad taste" of watching movies. In addition to the differences between cultures, Chinese audiences cannot appreciate this American-style laugh!

      However, similar to Marvel's cheapness, Shazam can be said to be extremely sandy, and it can even be said to be the most real superhero. After the realization of the superhero dream of the middle two...

      Good science fiction for kids

      Why do you think this is a kid's version of Superman for all children and parents? The first thing to pass on to children is to become a kind person with a pure heart. Only those who have such a person will be selected to become the heirs of powerful power and become a hero who can punish evil and promote goodness and save the world. Secondly, what is passed on to parents is that the way you treat your child's education is very important. Whether you use harshness and criticism, or...

      Good movie, but not rigorous

      1. The character of the male protagonist is different from that of a child, and the actor's performance is a bit blindly pretending to be a child. As a street child, the adult version has a somewhat cousin character.

      2. There is a bug in Shazam's ability transmission, the ability from the old wizard does not increase the total amount, and later the total amount increases greatly

      3. When I first got superpowers, my cousin asked the bad guy to try the role of clothes or armor,...

      Thunder Fool

      Purity of mind? Is this for children? The 17-year-old mother gave birth to a child out of wedlock, and directly abandoned the 3-year-old protagonist. The protagonist’s father was in prison for 10 years. The protagonist ran away from home 23 times. It's a human matter, because I got superpowers because of luck and started to use it like I won a million-dollar lottery, charging other people's mobile phones, buying beer with tips given by others, destroying ATMs, and teaching my sister to live...

      "Childhood" is by no means a forbidden area for superhero movies, but when its target audience shifts to teenagers and even adults with more complex aesthetic systems, the commercial interest of the work itself obviously needs to precede the core of the conventional family-friendly text. Express. Success stories of such works can be found in Disney male animations such as The Incredibles. "Thunder Shazam" is a failure from this point of view. It is rare to see such a low-quality commercial film...

      Young, naive, and long-winded, it doesn't look like a superhero movie in 2019 at all. Compared with the movie theater, it is more suitable for the "Best Movies Have an Appointment" to appear on...

      Sci-fi please call me by your name. Here comes DC's ugliest hero. The darkness at the beginning is very consistent with the previous DC, and the appearance of the protagonist after that looks like a Marvel movie. Comedy is strong. It's a coincidence that it's too early for Billy to be Shazam. The plot is the old-fashioned kind of character growth. The villain gives people a very strong feeling, but in fact it is a war five scum. The casting is great, and the little male lead is so handsome. The...

      The zero point field is too burning~~ A new superhero seems to be compared to Spider-Man's origin. The villain is also a symbiote that grows deformed into a devil after being deeply injured in childhood. The overall plot is actually a comedy type, and the audience is laughing from time to time. As a popcorn movie, this film is very qualified. In particular, the final outcome shows that the collective power of cohesion is greater than the power of independent individuals, which is in line with...

      Too mentally handicapped, Sand Sculpture Terriers don't play like this, if you really want to play like this, you can get an R-rank in the way of Deadpool. The special effects are also so rough, and the action scenes are unimaginative. I feel that DC is now being stimulated by Marvel to talk nonsense, which is really a shame. I'm definitely not going to watch the next Huluwa...

    Movie plot

He was finally arrested and returned to the social settlement system, so he came to a new host family.

    Behind the scenes gags

    The film was originally a film about the encounter and conflict between Shazam and Black Adam, but the producer decided to split the film into two original films.
    In the fight in the toy store, Billy Batson ran across a huge piano keyboard. The plot is based on the 1988 movie "The Big Shot."
    When Shazam wears a cloak, he also has a tiger on his buckle. This is a tribute to his ally in the comics, Mr. Tawky Tawny, the magic....

    As a superhero movie, "Thunder Shazan! Although the story is simple and easy to understand, there are clear comparisons and contrasts. The theme of the film revolves around family and unity, and the scene design and other details echo this theme.
    The humor of the film comes from the childishness of the child, very sincere and unpretentious, and it is not at all a clumsy grandstanding. Director David F. Sandberg accurately grasps the...
