The most I have smiled in any Marvel movie. So many things to grin stupidly about.
Based on the trailer I thought it was going to be a silly kid movie but still fun to watch. Got earlier premier and decided to take a change.
Not what I was expecting, totally like the movie. Started slow with Billy Batson story and how he get to the foster home. Once Shazam appear you get good action scene and unexcepted funny moments. Overall it was a really good movie.
I’m not a big fan of super hero movies but I like this style of movie where is entertaining to watch. Similar to Deadpool, you have a mix of everything, drama, action, comedy, etc…
World Premiere Review:
Surprisingly good. I had a smile on my face throughout most of the movie and it's genuinely funny. The whole cast is spot on with Ewan hitting it out of the park. Having grown up with Winnie the Pooh, I definitely had an enhanced experience. Discounting for nostalgia, it goes from a 9 to an 8, only because the opening third is quite slow, but it's a very well made film. You believe the stuffed animals are living, breathing things...and you want to believe!
The funniest MCU movie so far and that entire illusion scene was so goddamn impressive and beautiful.
Easily one of the best Supergirl episodes in a very long while.
I'm a fan of how they told this episode's story from a somewhat objective standpoint, showing both sides of the coin all the while allowing you a better understanding of why the other side, specifically Agent Liberty, is doing what he's doing.
It's very difficult not to sympathize with the guy following tonight's episode, I'm curious to see how the story progresses from here. - Also, an appearance from Xander Berkeley is always appreciated, kudos to them for that.
Luke Cage himself is out of focus this season, but this doesn't make the show any less great. Step by step we have been learning the story of Mariah, seeing Bushmaster as this villain driven by some grief from the past, as he mercilessly kills people. In this episode the tides are turned. There's much more of Bushmaster's story revealed, while Mariah is now the one mercilessly killing and having no respect for life, so we can see that Bushmaster was right at the very beginning, when he talked about it running in the family. The annoying repetition of "Mariah Stokes" makes perfect sense now. The actors behind both of the villains are amazing, especially Mariah. The looks she gives, the speeches she makes, the emotions she shows, including the mental instability. There's talent everywhere, and Misty too got time to shine again. The "stone-cold guy Shades" role was not really fitting for the actor behind it, so this episode emphasized on that, making him vulnerable just like the character he played in Sons of Anarchy, resulting in a much more suitable role. Even Mariah noted these sides of him.
I would have liked to have seen Ralph's fight with Rag Doll.
I don't find Nora specifically annoying but rather the whole future mom wasn't nice to me relationship they had been building. Hopefully that's over with.
Iris was smashing in the red dress.
When you thought Supergirl could not get more PC it does!
Simply Outstanding.
It is generally difficult for me to give any movie a "10" because there is always room for improvement. This time, I honestly don't know that they could have done any better... particularly at this time and within the confines of under 2 hours.
Greedily, for myself, I'll just say to everyone involved... Thank you!
I'll be watching it again.
DC has made their best Marvel movie. No, that's not a knock on this film. It's a fun family adventure with a lot of heart. Levi is great as Shazam and Mark Strong is the 2nd best DC on-screen villain. They dive right into the magic elements of the DC universe and also tell an origin story lead by heart and family. This was a fun ride with some funny moments. It seems DC/WB is on a streak now with this Aquaman and Wonder Woman.
This is a lot of fun and doesn't take itself too serious. It starts a little slow but once Shazam shows up things start picking up. Zachary Levi is delightful and really makes the movie. The little kid in a grown body gimmick works pretty well here. The themes of family are strong and really great in that last battle. The whole mom situation was really weird. Mark Strong was good but his character was meh. The CGI was decent but that last fight felt a little long. This is one of the better DCEU movies and I hope to see more Shazam.
My favourite DC movie so far , I might have a few new favourite superheroes...
We get it CW, muslims are harmless... relax. We don't need this show becoming Supergirl 2.0.
Phase 4 of the UCM starts with big problems.
So categorical. But for a diehard Marvel fan I can afford it. If the first installment was already a Black Widow that left us the same watching it as not, now we get Shang-Chi that doesn't seem like a film from the same universe.
And if it had starred Jackie Chan and had been called The Forbidden Kingdom, the sensation would have been the same. A film with a plot that can be summed up in two lines and that is forced to fill in the gaps with fights and choreographies aimed exclusively at the Wuxia fan audience.
The characters are flat, boring, they don't make you feel related to them in any way. The villain? A disappointment, an attempt not to make him really terrible so as not to hurt the sensibilities of the Chinese audience. Where is the Mandarin of the comic book? Why have the mighty ten rings now become just a blunt weapon that allows you to fly and swing like Spider-Man?
The only noteworthy feature is Ta Lo's creature design, true to Asian mythology.
Not much to like in this movie except a giant shark.
I hate when shows deal with politics. I am so sick of politics that when I watch a movie/show I prefer to be entertained, not to have political agendas shoved down my throat! The only good part was that it wasn't as direct as last season's Grey's Anatomy. These shows are made to entertain us but it seems lately the creators take it upon themselves to shower us with their own political views.
What a time to be Spider-Man fan! First into the spider verse and now this. Loved the adaptation of mysterio.
Better than Homecoming by a mile. Loved the illusions. However, I felt sorta bored in the first hour of the movie until things started to happen with Mysterio. Otherwise, it's a fun movie to watch. Not the best but not the worst either.
Just watched and its AWESOME!!! The movie has humor (hilarious), action, horror and above all it has HEART. I loved it.
Barry and Iris.. love goals for sure.
Im getting tired of Schway already..
I ain't gonna lie. This movie made me cry back in the day.
Not quite as charming as homecoming but still a super fun movie. Tom Holland is the perfect Spider-Man. He has a great arc with all the recent events of the MCU. Jake Gyllenhaal plays a great Mysterio. The effects look fantastic. Lots of good humor and action. Not as much high school drama but there still is some. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Spider-Man in the MCU with the mid credit stinger.
Not only did this movie stink, but the social justice warriors had to add in their nonsense. Can't they just leave movies alone? Maybe it's just Olivia Munn and her crappy acting. Humans will be extinct in one generation due to global warming? Pedal that nonsense somewhere else.
And another virtual heart for that Dory reference and for Pipinn's plot.
Oh, yeah and for "Hey Mickey" in Thai.
The movie starts good with setting up the character background and trying to produce more humor than required. But there are some minor details cinema lovers would notice and might like.
On the whole, the movie sometimes feels lengthier especially at the end. But a good effort by the team.
In simple, you will like it if you are a superhero fan and love little humor here and there.
Great movie DC can't wait to see black Adam then a Shazam 2 with black Adam and Shazam. Loved the cast and who they turned into when they all said SHAZAM!!!!!!
This movie is just a lot of fun. Aimed at a pre-teen audience the humour can be a bit juvenile for adults but kids will love it. This superhero with training wheels is played brilliantly by Zachary Levi who was mining his inner kid. Jack Dylan Grazer plays the superhero expert to a tee. The movie has gags, humour and heart, and the twist at the end sets us up for the possibility of sequels. This DC Universe entry has found a missing pocket in the superhero saturated media offerings and I look forward to them developing this stream. Don't forget to stay for the mid-credit and end-credit scenes. I give this film a 7 (good fun) out of 10. [Superhero Action Adventure]
