Everything in the world can be carved in sand - "Thunder Shazam! 》
Today I introduce an American comic book movie "Thunder Shazam!" ".
Title Shazam! / Billy Batson and the Legend of Shazam! / Franklin (2019), alias Shazam! Divine Power (Hong Kong) / Shazam! (Taiwan) / Captain Marvel / Captain Marvel.
Warner Bros. has brought another of its superheroes, Shazam, to the big screen. After the Justice League six, Shazam is the seventh DC superhero to appear.
Warner watched the comic characters from Marvel and Sony next door go the comedian route and made a lot of money. With a slap in the head, he finally remembered that he also had a funny superhero in his hand. He is Shazam. The mind of a fifteen-year-old boy and the physique of an adult superhero, when combined together, become a superhero who is amused.
As is customary, the debut superhero single-player movie will introduce the origin of the superhero. Thunder Shazam! "The same, the main plot is to introduce the origin of Shazam.
Overall, Thunder Shazam! "The performance is relatively mediocre, regardless of the "Guardians of the Galaxy" series of the cosmic karaoke dance group next door, the "Ant-Man" series that is not so brilliant but also good-looking, and the laughing points that make Ragnarok eclipsed Compared with the "Thor 3", or the "Deadpool" series of R-rated productions that broke through the fourth wall, this DC sand sculpture superhero Shazam origin movie is slightly less old-fashioned.
The biggest flaw of the film is the plot setting, which is obviously top-heavy. In the first half, the jokes, special effects, and budget were used almost, and the second half was supposed to be a showdown between the pros and cons, but it seemed very perfunctory.
DC's live-action movies are made like this, I believe the audience has long been used to it. Under the quality control of Warner, DC is characterized by the high quality of animated movies, and one live-action movie is scolded.
Even if this sand sculpture hero is born can't restore the decline of DC live-action movies, it does not matter, after all, this is just a sand sculpture.
Shazam, formerly known as Billy Batson, is a superhero under DC. In ancient times, he was also called Captain Marvel. He had a copyright battle with Marvel next door. In the end, DC got the appearance of Captain Marvel. After the restart of the new 52, it was officially named Shazam. Marvel got the name of Captain Marvel and created a hairdresser who destroyed the world.
Shazam's superpowers, like his name "Shazam", cover most of the superpowers a superhero can have. The old wizard taught Billy his life-long skills, and the process of Shazam's inheritance of superpowers is quite similar to the scene in "Dragon and Babu" Wu Yazi imparting Beiming magic.
S stands for Solomon's wisdom, which includes a wealth of knowledge, keen understanding and insight, and will provide Billy with the right advice and decision when he needs it.
H stands for the power of Hercules. Hercules is Hercules in ancient Greek mythology, the son of Zeus.
A represents the endurance of Atlas, the god of the sky in ancient Greek mythology, who was punished by Zeus to carry the sky on his shoulders forever.
Z represents the divine power of Zeus. Needless to say, the king of the gods in ancient Greek mythology, in the setting of the comics, Zeus' divine power, Thunder Fury, is one of Shazam's most important skills, through the lightning symbol on his chest. Everyone can see it.
A stands for the courage of Achilles. Achilles is as famous as Hercules in ancient Greek mythology. He is a demigod hero who is extremely brave. His lifelong dream is to die in battle.
M stands for the speed of Mercury. Mercury is the messenger of the gods and the god of tourism, transportation and sports. He is called Mercury in Roman mythology and Hermer in ancient Greek mythology. s.
In addition, the selection conditions for inheriting Shazam are pure and kind-hearted, combined with the superpower represented by Shazam, Shazam is a superhero with correct three views, both offense and defense, and comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, body, beauty and labor.
Like Achilles, Shazam has his Achilles' heel. Just cover his mouth so he can't say that magic word.
The origin of Shazam is set in a foster family. Billy Batson is also a teenager. After changing 23 foster families, he still wants to escape.
This setting is in line with the national conditions of the United States and takes care of the grassroots groups in the United States. Unlike those superheroes who emphasize bloodline theory, Shazam is a superhero who came out of the slums at the bottom of society. He gives people hope. It seems that ordinary people can also Soar.
Billy Batson's family of origin brought him endless troubles. When he really understood the reason why his mother abandoned him, he changed from a chaotic boy with no goals to an upright boy with a purpose in life.
As a recurring villain in the film, Western stories always like to say yes to the seven deadly sins. Seven Deadly Sins is one of Shazam's classic villains, representing the seven original sins in human nature, namely Pride, Envy, Greed, Wrath, Sloth, Gluttony, and Lust.
The seven deadly sins correspond to seven kinds of demons, and the seven deadly sins are embodied in the image of ugly and evil demons. It's a pity that the seven deadly sins are not very popular in China. If there is a little bit of madness, anger and greed, maybe the audience will buy it even more.
Shazam met two important guides in the film.
One is Freddy Freeman, a second-loss friend in middle school. He took Billy to constantly test his superpowers, awakened his sense of responsibility and mission, and made Billy realize the importance of family.
One is the second villain Dr. Thaddeus Sivana, who used tough means to force Billy to evolve and tap his potential, completely completing the transformation from an internet celebrity to a superhero.
The most anticipated Shazam family also appeared as scheduled. The family just needs to be neat and tidy, and the six partners look better together. Of course, due to the cost of production, the tiger Tauni in the Shazam family did not appear.
At the end of the film, don't forget to black out the super soldier Sea King of the Justice League. Even though Director Wen made a good "Sea King", Sea King is still a super soldier who talks to fish. We all know it after all: Aquaman sucks.
The easter egg at the end of the film did not forget to foreshadow the sequel.
The flesh bug Dr. Shivana encountered was called Mr.Mind. Meditation Mite is a worm from Venus, with extraordinary intelligence, and can control other people's brains. It is foreseeable that Meditation Mite will join forces with Dr. Shivana.
Everything in the world can be sculpted in sand, and the sand sculpting will be carried out to the end.
Run away half a lifetime without forgetting the innocence, being a hero not a villain.
