Does DC need to raise the bar on itself?

1. In terms of the plot, it has indeed done an anti-routine. It is a more realistic situation to explore #if you have superpowers what do you use them for. The first half created a rogue b. But because the overall tone is bright and humorous (I try very hard to be humorous), I don't feel very emotional at a few main character's emotional transitions...even feel stiff. Even if you go back to the original work of DC Comics' new 52, ​​even if you know that the shaping of a new hero plus the issue of reorganizing families and orphans is more difficult to cover in two hours, no matter whether it is the core of the word shazam that the original party is concerned about Neither the meaning nor the villain, Black Adam, are clearly mentioned. And it's not hard to find... Billy and Shazam's personalities before and after their transformation... are not the same...

2. Visually, I'm sorry, one big muscle tights is enough, but after giving me six, I'm really dizzy. At first, I was very curious about the real body of the statue of the seven deadly sins. As a result, it is also the same as the statue, and the seven deadly sins that deserve to be sealed by the Shazam family are shown in the movie: kidnapping, arresting, biting (Super fierce meow??)

3. Both the propaganda and the movie itself are trying to say "this is a funny movie", but... it's really not that funny. It's even just a little funny, but my expectation for this movie is [Sand Sculpture] ok?

4. I have doubts about DC's show operation. "Sea King" asked the horror film master Wen Ziren to be the director. It's okay to think about it. After all, Deep Sea Fear + He has also made commercial films such as Speed ​​and Passion. But as a film with a funny tone, the director actually used Sandberg, what is his work "After the Lights" and "Annabelle 2"... Click on a few scenes in the film: the car accident scene in the opening 5 minutes / small In the meeting room killing of my son's revenge, the atmosphere rendering of these two paragraphs is the best in my opinion...because that is the director's forte! ...Learn from Marvel. The director of "Shocking Team", Anna Bolton, is a feminist. Although she does not have enough experience in science fiction films, the core values ​​are in place.

5. The special effects of "Super Bat" are worse than "Aquaman", and Shazam, whose ability is basically the same as that of Superman, does not bring any special effects to the audience in terms of super power.

6. In conclusion, it's worth going to the theater to relax, but don't expect too much. A passable pipeline work. There is no need to watch 3Dimax, visual effects are not the main focus of this film. But I really love Lord so DC don't make me feel tired anymore... Looking forward to the next "Joker", the trailer released today and I think I see the light. Come on DC.

    Back to the starting point of superhero comics, simple but not straightforward emotions, easy-to-understand but not superficial storytelling, joyful and heart-warming, let you rediscover your innocent heart.

    【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"

    Thaddeus Sivana (1974): I was just there. This man, this wizard, he took me to a castle and...

    Mr. Sivana: Stop. Stop! Stop it! You miserable, whiny, little shit! You could have killed us! Do you understand that?

  • Freddy Freeman: [Freddy is trying to prove to the other students that he knows Shazam] Red Cyclone, hey! Hey, whats going on? Oh, that's crazy! Yeah, it's Freddy by the way. Yeah, its crazy! Great story.

    Senior Girl: [a student snatches Freddy's phone from him] He's not talking to anyone.

    Freddy Freeman: [the other children laugh at him and leave] I was! I was! We're friends. I know him, i do!
