This looks like it'll be a hit for DC. Reactions coming in...
@colliderfrosty: loved #Shazam. It's super fun, very funny (a few times people were laughing so loud I missed dialogue), and exactly what they set out to make: 'Big' meets Superman. @ZacharyLevi is perfectly cast but the real surprise is @Jgrazerofficial as Freddy Freeman. Steals the show. https://twitter.com/colliderfrosty/s...413185/photo/1
@slashfilm: #Shazam is parts Home Alone, parts Big, a crowd pleasing family-friendly joy-filled wish-fulfillment superhero film which gets a bit over the top and cheesy at times. It’s fun and funny, and I was surprised at how much it wears it’s heart on its sleeve. [Reply]
It started real (real) slow, but got pretty good by the end.
Word of warning: wouldn't take young kids. Was some stuff that might scare them. Some adult language, too.
Yeah they said shit about five or six times and we took our 11 year old and we hope the sins don’t give her nightmares. I thought it was good, glad to see DC rebounding and focusing on the light hearted side of things. [Reply]

Cool . Shazam looks like good harmless fun . Will definitely check it out in theaters when I can . [Reply]
****, this is hard to rate. It's goofy in a family way but, eh, I think the comedy swings missed mostly. Yes, as a Marvel fan I was surprised how well they tried to make a Marvel flick happen. It was (mostly) funny. I hated the nostalgia reaches (and they clearly did reach) but it was still ok.
I really wanted to hate the lead after his [political] posts and sjw BS but he was solid. I don't really like HOW they updated SHAZAM but I do like who they updated it with. The actor might be a dick but he was solid in the role.

If that makes sense...
Overall: B-
Lol if you hate DC comics so much then why go see it. I love them all I'm not a marvel or DC only guy. [Reply]
