Fill-in-the-blank questions

If you want to hold the expectation of watching a wonderful blockbuster and enter the theater for this film, you can only say that you are destined to be disappointed. But if you lower the requirements, it will still be a family-style laugh movie with a good standard of process standards. Note: Sand sculpture fill-in-the-blank category.

The reason why it is said to be a fill-in-the-blank type is because the routine is as stable as a test paper, and almost the first third can guess the key plots of the latter two-thirds, and as long as people who don’t watch movies rarely, almost everyone can take the test seven. Eighty percent.

Spoilers below.

* The setting of the opening is actually very interesting. It is a delusion that the public has inevitably had in the middle and second period. The opening is very attractive.

* The texture of the villains (Seven Deadly Sins) is not very good. Even in the most terrifying scene, the atmosphere of cannibalism is flat, and when it comes to the close-up, it will be in a trance: the dolls are beautifully decorated.

* Basically, looking at the vacancy left by the wizard in the front and a bunch of brothers and sisters in the back, you know that there must be a group transformation scene.

* After careful calculation, the villain did not kill a few people. Especially in the later period, it can almost be regarded as a childish old man. So much so that the tension during the decisive battle is quite lacking.

* Shazam's clothing soil is just that. Why is the whole family's clothes as soiled as scum biscuits? One step can shake off a bag of dust from the 1980s...

* "Teenage girls get magical powers and then transform" is a plot that the whole world loves to watch. However, it may not include becoming a group of suspected middle-aged people who are all wearing tights... This attractive discount is really too big...

* In the form of a child, no matter how he looks or behaves, he is quite clever and dexterous, and he seems mentally retarded after transforming. Even if you know it's deliberately done for the sake of a joke, it's not so bearable - "I'm getting bigger, and I'm getting stupid"

* Among the siblings, the eldest sister is the one who likes the most, but when everyone else has performed well, her role is entangled in tentacles, so that in the end, she does not know what her abilities are. Even vaguely suspect that the scene just now belongs to the service plot.

* If this one wants to make a sequel or appear in other movies, let's change clothes... One person's blood book collectively changes robes, and the wizard team looks more fashionable than the white cape tights team.

* In a trance, I feel that this film should be considered a children's category, but it seems that children are not so happy to see it. The children in my sight are not very interested after the transformation, and even one fell asleep... Probably there is nothing to be happy about becoming a middle-aged uncle.

Going back to the beginning, if you lower the standard to watch, the viewing process is relaxed and enjoyable.

...but no matter how I think about it, I feel that the shape is really too earthy.

    Maybe it was the first superhero to shoot "sniff": the wizard had no choice but to let the protagonist take the position, and the protagonist was abandoned by his mother before he had to turn around and embrace the foster family. The only poor villain, Uncle Ma, sets up a conversation with his peers: "The villain is like a city licking a dog and chasing a girl who has been chasing after a girl for ten years. As a result, when the girl is too old to do it, she will find a fellow villager to marry and have an affair. I have five buns, but I won’t give it to you. What would you think if it was you?”

Shazam! quotes

  • Freddy Freeman: Are you more powerful than a locomotive?

    Shazam: What's a locomotive?

  • Billy Batson: Hi. Um... I was supposed to get off at 30th.

    The Wizard: Billy Batson.

    Billy Batson: How'd you know my name?

    The Wizard: I am the last of the Council of Wizards. Keeper of the Rock of Eternity.

    Billy Batson: Oh... You're... that guy. Hey, listen, I don't have any money.

    The Wizard: Do not patronize me, boy!

    [the Wizard strikes the ground with his staff]

    The Wizard: You are standing in the source of all magic. The Rock of Eternity. Seven thrones of seven wizards. But long ago, we chose a champion. And we chose recklessly. He used his power for revenge, releasing the Seven Deadly Sins into your world. Millions of lives were lost. Entire civilizations erased from existence.

    [the Wizard walks around Billy]

    The Wizard: That is why I vowed never to pass on my magic until I find one truly good person. Strong in spirit, pure in heart.

    Billy Batson: Look, man, maybe this is magic, and, I don't know, but the people you're looking for, good, pure people, I'm not one of them. I-I don't know if anyone is, really.

    The Wizard: You, Billy Batson, are all I have. All the world has.

    [the Wizard strikes the ground with his staff in front of Billy]

    The Wizard: Lay your hands on my staff.

    Billy Batson: Gross.

    The Wizard: And say my name so my powers may flow through you. I open my heart to you, Billy Batson. And in so doing, choose you as champion.

    Billy Batson: Thanks.

    [the Wizard strikes the ground again]

    Billy Batson: Real sweet of you, mister, but I really gotta get going.

    The Wizard: My brothers and sisters were slain by the Sins. Their thrones lie empty! My magic must be passed on. Now...

    [the Wizard strikes the ground again]

    The Wizard: Speak my name!

    Billy Batson: I-I don't know your name, sir. We just met.

    The Wizard: My name is... Shazam.

    Billy Batson: [chuckles] Wait, for real?

    The Wizard: Say it!

    Billy Batson: Okay! Jeez.

    [Billy places his left hand on the staff while the Wizard holds it with both hands]

    Billy Batson: So just say it? Like... Shazam?

    [Billy is struck by lightning]

    The Wizard: Yes! Carry my name, and with it, you carry all my powers. The wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles, and the speed of Mercury.

    [Billy gets up, now as Shazam]

    Shazam: What happened to me? Why am... W-w-what did you do to me? What did you do to my voice?

    The Wizard: You have been transformed to your full potential, Billy Batson. With your heart, unlock your greatest power.

    [the Wizard hands Shazam his staff]

    The Wizard: The thrones of our brothers and sisters await.

    [the Wizard crumbles into dust, startling Shazam as he drops the staff and grabs his backpack]

    Shazam: Get me out of here!
