neither funny nor dark

The overall feel of this film is very casual, and the characters are very flat, making it impossible for people to enter the play. The first chapter was to find an heir, because the villain was tempted to disqualify him, but when the male protagonist was selected later, I didn't see what he was qualified for. I escaped from the foster family countless times, which made people worry in vain, and they were well-intentioned. Did nothing wrong. There are also his brothers and sisters, who have obtained divine power without passing the test. Her sister said it was kept secret and turned her head to the public. The child on crutches also looked very vain, although this may be a harmless little thing, but it is quite impressive I don't like it.

And the villain's setting is really weak. Although his father and brother treated him very badly, he didn't have any mood swings when he killed him? The final battle is also like a child's play, there is no feeling of explosion at all, it feels like a group of little kids fighting monsters.

    I can be sure this must be a sand sculpture! In fact, DC can take a different approach to the dark cult style. You don't have to always compete with Marvel. Maybe it can also become a classic. ps: Just after reading it, my judgment is correct, it really is a sand sculpture. Samsung, but I can't hold it, I like it! DC is smarter than Marvel this time, zz can be correct, the first Asian superhero

    Let me start by saying that different heroes and directors of dc have different styles, and they didn't imitate anything. Batman the Joker, you can't make him fun, and like Shazam, you can't make him dark. Okay, it started to explode below. While laughing and screaming throughout (the field), this is probably the dc movie that I shed the most tears. The look and feel surpasses "Aquaman", and I like its core very much. No wonder North American film critics compare "Home Alone" to him. Freddy is better shaped than Billy. Although the plot is weak, but it conveys the theme of family affection and love, which completely conceals this shortcoming, and it also keeps stuffing eggs, laughter and stalking in it. Although I knew that the Shazam family would be on the stage, they were still incomparably excited, and the audience clapped for no less than 10s. The villain is facialized, but it can also be the opposite of Billy's growth, and it can be considered qualified to complete the task. The little guys have become an unexpected surprise. In the absence of many scenes, each character is shaped very three-dimensional, and all of them are cute. In short, "Shazam" is a super British movie full of sincere core. Although it has shortcomings, its flaws are not concealed.

Shazam! quotes

  • [Shazam saves Mary from being hit by a snow plow]

    Mary Bromfield: Oh, my God.

    Shazam: Mary... Mary, are you okay? Are you...

    Mary Bromfield: How do you know my name?

    Shazam: Uh... How do I know your name? Uh... One of my superpowers is name-guessing. Which is really weird, I bet. Uh, it's not as cool as super-strength or super-speed, but it's really helpful when I meet new people. Are you hurt?

    Mary Bromfield: No, I'm okay. Thank you. Um... I just need a second to think. This has been such a weird day.

    Shazam: Um, using my powers of super-observation, I see that you're holding a letter from a college in your hand. Are you upset because you didn't get in?

    Mary Bromfield: [shakes her head, then nods] I got in.

    Shazam: Uh... well, now my superpowers are failing me and I am very confused.

    Mary Bromfield: Yeah. Me too. I don't know. I know I should be excited 'cause this is my dream and I've worked really, really hard for this, but it's like... I don't know. Leaving my family does not feel fun, you know?

    Shazam: Could I, could I give you a little piece of advice? Don't be worried about everybody else. Always look out for number one. Gandhi said that.

    Mary Bromfield: I don't think he said that.

    Shazam: Yeah, he did.

    Mary Bromfield: Gandhi did not say.

    Shazam: Somebody like Gandhi said that.

    Mary Bromfield: Take care of number one.

    Shazam: It was a really wise... It might've been Yoda. Listen...

    Mary Bromfield: I'm sorry, no.

    Shazam: Agree to disagree. The point is, you do you, you know? You gotta look out for you. And get as far away from this place as you can.

    Mary Bromfield: I don't know if I want to.

    Shazam: Of course you do. What're you gonna do? You're gonna live in a group home for the rest of your life?

    [pause]

    Shazam: Look, families are for people who can't take care of themselves, okay? So... You know, and you can take care of yourself. Also, look both ways when you cross the street.

  • Shazam: Dude! Dude! Dude! Dude, did you see that?

    Freddy Freeman: Yeah. You electrocuted a bus and almost killed these people.

    Shazam: And then I caught it! Freddy, I caught a bus with my bare hands, man! I caught a bus like people catch fly balls. Like, who does that? I do that!

    Freddy Freeman: Billy, you do nothing. You, you take selfies and make people pay you. You know, forget it. I can't really talk to you when you look like this.

    Shazam: You just wish it was you!

    Freddy Freeman: No shit! You think I wouldn't kill to have what you have? Because everything I do is, like, some desperate attempt to get people to notice me, to not feel sorry for me. I mean, look at me! Look at me! Do you even see me? Cause most people don't! Cause they don't want to. And now you don't, either. I mean, you think this is who you are? I mean, Billy, you're 14. And now you're no better than the Breyers. All this power, and all you did was turn into a show-off and a bully.

    [Freddy walks away]

    Shazam: Whatever, kid! I do what I want! And I'm like, mid-20s probably! Maybe even, like, 30.
