I think "Shazam Thunder" was made for middle and high school students. No adult can stand up to such a silly superhero movie all the way.
The groundedness is not to make the hero completely lose his IQ after he turns into Shazam. Before calling out "Shazam", Billy was still a quiet and introverted junior high school student. He didn't expect that when he changed into a superhero, he became extremely naive. His words and deeds can no longer be understood by the audience. Younger age is by no means synonymous with lightheartedness, and such performances are tiresome.
I can feel DC's attempt to create a lively and friendly superhero this time, but it's obviously a mess. The overall feeling of the movie is not as good as that of "Marvel"'s "Ant-Man" and "Deadpool" series. At least they really set up dramatic conflicts, quarrelling, and talking about love, which is considered to be a qualified assembly line product. And "Thunder Shazam" is monotonous like a temporary work script. The old routines, the old bridges, and the humor are not yet humorous, and there may be only stupid male protagonists left.
The double easter egg in ambush at the end of the film is roughly guessed that I want to make a sequel, and I intend to make a connection with "Sea King". A few years ago, DC's "Justice League" gave up halfway. I don't know how Warner executives want to save this tepid series next?
