Now I feel that the suicide squad is pretty good-looking

Worthy of being a horror film director, many scenes are very horrifying

Spoilers for the following parts

———————————

The source of the male protagonist's ability is very serious. There were seven deadly sins before, so no one can pass the test, but after the seven deadly sins were released, the wizard immediately found the male lead and said that it’s you, and the co-authored male lead is the male lead.

There is also a big problem with the ability of the villain. The previous generation wizard stood and asked him to take the magic eye. He really stood and waited. While saying "no", he did not take any measures. Half of the time he saw it, he thought it was him. Where's the conspiracy

The villain inside is also too strong. The only purpose of doing things is to seize and harm. There is no other purpose. The character creation is textbook-level derogatory "innocence."

Shazam’s first battle scenes were somewhat imitating the body of steel, which was refreshing and uninspiring. The final effective battle turned out to be just digging eyes and constantly shouting "Shazam!"

There is also a big problem with the rhythm of sharing abilities. If six people have acquired the same ability, don’t let everyone show it. It seems that the final battle is particularly procrastinated, and the villain’s strength positioning is too weak. "Zan Family" effective damage, not even scratching the skin, no sense of oppression

When it comes to rhythm, the whole movie is repeatedly switched between "display ability" and "face-slap". It is inevitable that you can't make emotional substitutions just like that.

To sum up, this is the only superhero movie I have ever seen in which an emotional drama is much stronger than an action movie. It's quite interesting to think about Suicide Squad. At least there are Master Leto and Emperor Shi.

    【YVR-Scotia】One and a half stars. Suitable for screenings in advance. If the previous Super British movies are good-looking and ugly, they at least treat the audience as adults. Does this time feel like treating the audience as ten-year-old kids? Extremely mentally handicapped and naive. If DC is fair and honest, it's just for children, but it's just too much to persuade adults to act like monkeys with great fanfare. The ending egg is also trying to cover up, and even the actors are gone, so I can only "still hold the pipa half-hidden"

    The comedy style is a bit interesting and the perspective is unique. It allows superhero movies to return to simple problems. It can almost be seen as a reaction from DC from "The Dark Knight" to "BVS". The director's addition of horror film style to the youth film route is also considered a little creative. But the whole story is too monotonous. The second half of the story has only one sentence: "The villain wants to get the protagonist's ability and then the two fight and chase, and finally the protagonist wins." There is no real conflict in the whole film-Shazam is not perfect." "Products" have gained superpowers. This point was originally worth describing and digging, but it was easily put aside. In addition, the campus drama and the superhero after the transformation are still a bit split, especially the performances of Shazan and Billy, which are completely different from the same person. It's another superhero movie that is fairly relaxed and beautiful, but there is no aftertaste and I don't want to watch it again.

Shazam! quotes

  • [Shazam saves Mary from being hit by a snow plow]

    Mary Bromfield: Oh, my God.

    Shazam: Mary... Mary, are you okay? Are you...

    Mary Bromfield: How do you know my name?

    Shazam: Uh... How do I know your name? Uh... One of my superpowers is name-guessing. Which is really weird, I bet. Uh, it's not as cool as super-strength or super-speed, but it's really helpful when I meet new people. Are you hurt?

    Mary Bromfield: No, I'm okay. Thank you. Um... I just need a second to think. This has been such a weird day.

    Shazam: Um, using my powers of super-observation, I see that you're holding a letter from a college in your hand. Are you upset because you didn't get in?

    Mary Bromfield: [shakes her head, then nods] I got in.

    Shazam: Uh... well, now my superpowers are failing me and I am very confused.

    Mary Bromfield: Yeah. Me too. I don't know. I know I should be excited 'cause this is my dream and I've worked really, really hard for this, but it's like... I don't know. Leaving my family does not feel fun, you know?

    Shazam: Could I, could I give you a little piece of advice? Don't be worried about everybody else. Always look out for number one. Gandhi said that.

    Mary Bromfield: I don't think he said that.

    Shazam: Yeah, he did.

    Mary Bromfield: Gandhi did not say.

    Shazam: Somebody like Gandhi said that.

    Mary Bromfield: Take care of number one.

    Shazam: It was a really wise... It might've been Yoda. Listen...

    Mary Bromfield: I'm sorry, no.

    Shazam: Agree to disagree. The point is, you do you, you know? You gotta look out for you. And get as far away from this place as you can.

    Mary Bromfield: I don't know if I want to.

    Shazam: Of course you do. What're you gonna do? You're gonna live in a group home for the rest of your life?

    [pause]

    Shazam: Look, families are for people who can't take care of themselves, okay? So... You know, and you can take care of yourself. Also, look both ways when you cross the street.

  • Shazam: Dude! Dude! Dude! Dude, did you see that?

    Freddy Freeman: Yeah. You electrocuted a bus and almost killed these people.

    Shazam: And then I caught it! Freddy, I caught a bus with my bare hands, man! I caught a bus like people catch fly balls. Like, who does that? I do that!

    Freddy Freeman: Billy, you do nothing. You, you take selfies and make people pay you. You know, forget it. I can't really talk to you when you look like this.

    Shazam: You just wish it was you!

    Freddy Freeman: No shit! You think I wouldn't kill to have what you have? Because everything I do is, like, some desperate attempt to get people to notice me, to not feel sorry for me. I mean, look at me! Look at me! Do you even see me? Cause most people don't! Cause they don't want to. And now you don't, either. I mean, you think this is who you are? I mean, Billy, you're 14. And now you're no better than the Breyers. All this power, and all you did was turn into a show-off and a bully.

    [Freddy walks away]

    Shazam: Whatever, kid! I do what I want! And I'm like, mid-20s probably! Maybe even, like, 30.
