Shazam is a nicely put together DC product where you can feel the box and see it through the plastic wrap.
While the story is manufactured (basically Big meets Kick Ass -- there's even a visual reference to Big in one scene -- so Shazam is half as original as both of them), and the jokes are more scarce than I'd hoped, overall there's nothing wrong with Shazam. It's nice to see a film where a foster child is the hero, but in the sea of all the Super Hero films we find ourselves in, is 'Good' good enough?
Shazam is a pleasant place holder while we wait for Endgame, but will be quickly forgotten once the latter lands.
