Very sand sculpture, not much praise!

It's only been a month since Marvel's "Captain Marvel" was released.

DC's Captain Marvel also came out.

If you don't know why the two are called Captain Marvel, you can look it up on the public account for a detailed explanation.

Today, let's talk about DC's latest super-English movie "Thunder Shazam!" " About the video of "There is a cloud made by rain in the wind", don't worry, it will be arranged next Tuesday.

Watch Thunder Shazam! 》My feeling is:

Very sand sculpture, not much praise!

Thunder Shazam! "Very sand sculpture, not much praise! _Tencent Video

Below about Thunder Shazam! "Ten-sentence film review, please check:

1. For non-DC comic fans, Shazam is not well-known. After all, he is not even in the "Justice League" where the heroes gather. So this time it's the story of the origin of the hero again, let's look at "Thunder Shazam!" "The design of "Youth Growth and Family Carnival", and even some bridges seem to be a little childish, but the director of "After the Lights" was directed by Sandberg, and there is no accident that the image design of the seven deadly sins of the villain in the film tends to be cruel. Tyranny and some horror elements are also added. Personally, the overall positioning of the film is not clear enough.

2. The unclear positioning is actually not only in "Thunder Shazam!" ", but the attitude of the DC decision-making level is becoming more and more ambiguous. DC movies have established a dark style from Nolan's "Batman" trilogy, which is unique from Marvel's purely commercial style, but from "Man of Steel" to the box office failure of "BVS", the DC decision-making level Adhering to the dark style has caused doubts, so "Justice League" has become nondescript, and the success of "Wonder Woman" and "Aquaman", one is due to the charm of the characters, the other is due to the director's ability, and then to "Thunder Shazam!" 》You can hardly see the shadow of DC.

3. Every time I say that DC movies are not good, people always say that I am a fan of Marvel. I really am not a fan of anyone. I don't like "Black Panther" and "Captain Marvel" in Marvel movies. To DC, I really feel "Thunder Shazam! "Very ordinary, if you recall, the plot setting of this movie is like "Spider-Man", and the character setting is like Deadpool. . . If DC follows Marvel like this, it may make a lot of money at the box office, but its own unique label has disappeared. Besides, the meaning of competition is to let a hundred flowers bloom. If DC movies follow other people’s ass like this, one day it will be abandoned by the audience.

4. Specific to the movie, of course, this movie is not useless. Although I said that the plot setting is like "Spider-Man", but when Shazam suddenly has super powers, I feel uncharacteristically very grounded. "Spider-Man" pays attention to the greater the ability and the greater the responsibility, but for a 14-year-old child, who suddenly has superpowers, he may really show off like Billy everywhere, and earn money by shooting short videos and blogging. Look, this is in line with the psychology of a high school student.

5. "Thunder Shazam!" also discusses the influence of the original family on a person's growth and character. The mother hates herself, and the stepparents and stepmothers are the family. In the end, Billy still stands out. . Is it Su Mingyu from the superhero class? If the male protagonist's puppy lover's mother is still convincing enough to abandon him, then the mean attitude of the villain's father and brother to give him a phone bill and give a child to him since childhood is a bit confusing, just because he is timid? This is a bit too much to pull hatred for the sake of hatred, right?

6. Another thing that strikes me as bizarre is that although Billy and Shazam are thin high school students and strong superheroes, they are the same person at heart. Their appearance can change, but their personalities and behaviors are different. Behaviour must be consistent. . . However, as shown in the movie, he looks like a schizophrenic. When Billy was a young man with a heavy heart, he turned into a light-hearted urchin after he turned into Shazam. . . The screen is very divisive, and what I watch is divisive.

7. Maybe for DC fans, the constant presence of big coffee cameos is also a major attraction of this film, but there are no serious cameos. Dachao is the one who shows his body and does not show his head. It appeared in the form of a figure, and it was hacked again and again. Wonder Woman, Aquaman and The Flash all appeared in the form of comics at the end of the film, and they had no substantial effect.

8. Thunder Shazam! "From the early stage of publicity, the main focus has been funny, but when I watched it, I was almost indifferent throughout the whole process. The more I watched, the more anxious I became. The sand sculptures are enough, but where is the funny? I didn't laugh at all anyway.

9. I wonder if DC invited all the horror film directors from Wen Ziren's team to try to make superhero movies one by one? But Sandberg is not Wen Ziren after all, "Thunder Shazam! You can feel the personal taste of being a horror film director, but directing a commercial film like this is unavoidable. For example, a very important point, the Seven Deadly Sins of Fierce God, I thought it was awesome, but in the end, it was like a clown jumping beams, except for the long tongue. The fangs frighten the children and eat other than a few office workers who are helpless, which is really embarrassing for the villain.

10. On the question of whether the battle between the pros and cons of superhero movies is sufficiently intense, this time in "Thunder Shazam! ” appears particularly exhausted. Shazam almost has the ability to reach the sky, but the final battle is basically a biu flying over, swooping over, in terms of excitement, it is not as nervous as picking up the bus with his bare hands, it is really a waste of his ability and the enthusiasm of the audience. .

The above is my personal opinion on "Thunder Shazam! "The movie viewing experience,

There are two Easter eggs at the end of the film. The first Easter egg appears another villain, Meditation Mite, and the second Easter egg ridicules the sea king.

On the whole, the whole movie is very sand sculpture, very routine, very mediocre,

Don't look at it.

There are no easter eggs in today's video. I wish you all the prosperity and prosperity of the country as soon as possible, bye!

    Not enough hilarity, more than innocent, but it is still very gratifying to see such a happy DC.

  • Ruthie 2022-04-24 07:01:03

    On the surface, it is indeed a joyous "sand sculpture" film, and most of the comments received are "Where is the darkness of DC?", but I have to say that Shazam actually still maintains the dark temperament of DC, It's just that it's wrapped in laughter and warmth to hide it more deeply. The setting of the seven deadly sins, admitting that he has been abandoned in order to become a true hero and gain a new family, is exactly the same as the connotation of Batman facing fear and becoming fear itself. At the beginning of the second year as a hero, he just wanted to buy wine and get money to watch strippers. Who told you that Chaoying must be Gao Guangweizheng? Looking forward to the emergence of more anti-routine superheroes, Marvel's set is really tired.

Shazam! quotes

    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!
