mourning for its misfortune

This movie is very disappointing, both in terms of plot setting and character development. Since the end of Batman, the basic DC has never made me happy. Warner is also making money and catering to the market. There is nothing wrong with this in itself. In today's market where comedy is pleasing, Shazam can be said to cater to. Part of the audience's taste, but comedy is just a coat in the final analysis, if the core is not good, it is also a failed work. Maybe DC wants to say that after a person becomes a superhero, his personality will also change, but he should still focus on the connection. The young Billy should be said to be a sullen guy who doesn't show his emotions, so he is making fun of others. Looking for pleasure in the process, but after Shazam, Billy has completely turned into a funny one. When shopping in the mall, he found himself bulletproof, making money by performing on the street, and after becoming a little Billy, he was as boring as always. This kind of design will inevitably give people A sense of disconnect. In the final analysis, this sense of fault is still a defect in character building, especially character building. A character like Billy’s can be said to be a typical American cliché character design, “abandoned” & “orphan” & “rebellious”, and ultimately the purest The Son of Heaven, it is no wonder that the moment I saw him teasing the adults, I expected that "this person's bones are very strange, and he will become a great weapon", including his process of becoming a Shazam hero is also full of psychedelics and far-fetched. As for the embarrassment of falling into this kind of violation and cliff, comparing the psychological conflicts and contradictions after Spider-Man became a superhero, you can see how bad this movie is.

In contrast, the transitional settings of the villains are slightly better, but they still haven't escaped the fate of masking, and they have also been influenced to become villains with chatty and funny temperament. It is not advisable to sacrifice character settings for comedy effects.

The reason why I gave it back 1 star is that Freddy's character in the play is still okay, so that I had the "illusion" that he was the protagonist several times during the filming process. I wanted to integrate into the campus society since I was a child, and I was excluded and isolated. , eventually becoming not only a hero, but also realizing the importance of family, which may be the only thing worth feeling about this movie.

    From the trailer, I knew that all members of Zhenglian would appear on the screen (really don't lie to you), but I didn't expect to appear in one way or another. The fight is very MOS, and the super straightforward BVS complex, DCEU makes a lot of self-mockery. Picking up the bus, shouting in the air, and laughing at the second egg. But the most surprising thing is the BIG tribute to Tom Hanks. Relive your teenage dreams. The list of producers includes Dwayne Johnson and Black Adam's solo.

    Before I watched Shazam, I really felt that the subject of superheroes could not be ugly, no matter how you shoot it. This Billy is not the Billy we are familiar with. Don’t say I want every superhero to be magnificent, but since it’s Shazam The selected so-called Pure heart, how could it be possible that after gaining the ability, you only think about acting, interfering with the cash machine and taking money to watch striptease, so are you an anti-hero? And every time I become Shazan, I feel that I am not alone with Billy. Billy is very gloomy and Shazan is like a sand sculpture. It is normal for a child to have a superhero friend who wants to show off, so quarrels are also normal, but how did you come to the conclusion that I am selfish if you are not satisfied. There was no fighting. In the end, I didn’t know what I was fighting. I didn’t kill a villain. I was a little excited when I saw the family turned into Shazan, but the result was nothing. The abilities of a group of family members were not mentioned. The end is clear, far lower than the Superman Mobilization by several levels. In short, the only thing that gives the film extra points is a group of young girls and handsome boys and beauties after the transformation.
