Excellent children's film

As a children's film, it is excellent.

But its target audience seems to be more than children. As an adult, I have to spit it out here.

The first half of the film can be said to be very interesting until the end of the battle. Although the villain will be harsh and gentle for a while, I can explain the past with the reason that he hates his family and can't let his children get hurt on the screen. The male protagonist in the child state is a gloomy little boy. How can he become a sand sculpture when he grows up... What's the matter with the character design. Also, the battle at the end was really boring.

There are all kinds of elements such as women, children, blacks, Asians, obesity, disabilities, etc. in the home, but except for the Asian who is a little conspicuous, there is no feeling of forced political correctness when watching, the children are very cute, The youngest black girls are very attractive. The last time I saw such ethnic groups squeezed together in a movie was "Spider-Man". Of course, there are really too many ethnic groups in Spider-Man.

Freddy, the second boy, is super cute, and the beautiful child greatly improved my viewing pleasure, but I feel that the little villain is the best-looking among children. The little male protagonist's eyes are too big, and because the style of this film is similar to "Stranger Things", I have to think of Will, who has the same big eyes in "Stranger Things". But I think the little male protagonist looks more like Greyson Chance when he was a child, and when he is a child, he means when he is about the same age as him. In addition, the male lead and the male second one are named Billy and the other is Freddie. Is it really just a coincidence? /scratch head

All in all, it's ok, I actually want to play Samsung. In some places, the meaning of preaching is a bit obvious, but it doesn't matter if I think it is a children's film. Whenever there is something wrong with the logic, I advise myself like this. I didn't go to the theater to watch it, but it cost me a VIP movie ticket. Overall, it is interesting and worth recommending. You must watch it with the spirit of "excellent children's film".

    It's very happy. After watching the horror short films before the director, I know that his ghost ideas are quite in line with this temperament. Satisfying viewers who have "innocence" like me and Billy Batson, and "adult" audiences who have no childlike innocence like Thaddeus can't get this kind of fun, and it's not for you. This film is the same idea as "Big", in the 1980s, it even paid tribute to it (step on the piano). At the end of the performance, it felt like "Ten Brothers".

    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!
