It’s a kids movie like all superhero movies and acts like a kids movie so that was welcomed. What if Shazam fucks a 23 year old and after Shazam’s himself back to a kid? What do we do morally with this

Good fun family movie - likeable child protagonists, elements of 'Big' , enjoyable humour - maybe just a bit overlong on the fight scenes, especially the final showdown.

Kardeşlerin efendisi. Karanlık bir açılışla açılan filmimiz, sonraları sevimli oluyor. Süper kahraman Shazam, üvey kardeşleri yardımıyla, süper kötülerden dünyayı kurtarırlar. Birlik ve beraberlik, iyi ve kötü anlamda ne kadar güçlü olduğu vurgulanmış. Kötülük, nankör olup yalnızlığı seçse de, saflığın da her zaman yanında bir dost olacağı işareti vermiş. Hepimiz kardeşiz bu öfke ne diye? Gökdelenler oy oy oy, otobüsler oy oy oy, Klişeler oy oy.

Big 2, complete with a giant piano scene. Lots of good individual jokes, but too many action scenes dragged and I'm not sure the character building worked.

This shoots for that 80s-kids-flick style of realistic kids in fantastical, sometimes scary situations, and saying things like "shit!" about it, and for the most part the film achieves that. The cast is great, especially Levi and the kids, and the humor is pretty consistent. I was waiting for it to end for about forty-five minutes, though, and that's rare with me; normally I'm drawn in and happy to enjoy the action, but this felt like it was avoiding its resolution for too long.

The climax was really lame and Shazam comes across as a completely different person than Billy Batson, but the movie is so cheesy and self-aware of its silliness that I never found myself hating it. The way Sivana was used is also bizarre - instead of the nutty evil scientist we traditionally see in the comics, here he's some satanic demon thing. Admittedly a cool concept, but its utilization here felt lacking - the monsters were mostly indistinguishable from one another and were mostly fodder.

I would say that I walked in not really knowing what to expect, and what I got was actually fairly enjoyable throughout. Sure, Shazam! is the Jimmy Fallon of superheroes in this movie, and sure, Mark Strong doesn't really present a well-rounded or overly imposing villain (although his few scenes of geared-up violence were actually pretty refreshing in the context of this movie). There's room for this in the lexicon of this genre, but I can't say that I particularly loved it. Worth checking out.

Decent, breezy fun. A wee bit of an edge to it too, what with the underage drinking and strip club bits. So naughty DC! What with Wonder Woman and Aquaman and now this., looks like Warner Bros. has figured out how to make good superhero flicks...make them FUN!

Does good work in the places where origin stories tend to do good work (Exploration of powers, comedy), but also falters where they tend to falter. (Weak villain, overly long climax and uninspired set pieces.) The foster family part of the movie was ham-fisted, but in an endearing and sweethearted way. Zachary Levi was credibly charming, but didn't feel like the same person as the kid. A kids movie at heart, which makes several of the more violent, intense scenes feel way over the top.

Full with cliche, very bad villain, predictable outcomes, not a good representation for the original character. Its not exactly a kids movie and not for adults either. ıts dishonest with itself sadly. Yes its warm and sweet but not charming .Soo cheesy.

*This was more fun than I expected. It is a bit too long, doesn't focus enough on important things and dwindles too long on unimportant things. But still enjoyed watching it.

The most refreshing, charming and old-fashioned superhero movie in a while. There's not an ounce of cynicism, no forced "dark" aesthetic, no unnecessary over-stuffing. Just a wholesome blockbuster with genuine heart and wit. Big props to Zachary Levi too for an effortlessly goofy and endearing performance.

Not perfect, not by a long shot but it was fun, kind of like a cross between Deadpool and Spider-Man. I was hoping that it would forgo most of the origin cliche traps but nope they hit all of them. Nothing too deep here but it has a lightness and goofiness that let me over look most of the film's short comings.

Showcases one of DC's weaker villains, but gives a heartfelt, goofy, and overall fun film full of color and wonderful special effects that's really unlike anything the universe has granted us with before. Also, Zachary Levi. That's all.

It was pretty good, but felt a bit spread thin. Not sure what I would take out though because it all felt fitting. One thing I do wish was for Billy to feel a bit more heroic. Like it had those moments where I should've felt that, but it came across more going through the motions rather than that swelling of heroism in your gut the best of the genre can elicit. Worth a watch though. Mark Strong is a good baddie.

Funny, but incredibly cheesy. It feels like a product of the early-mid 2000s where it is feel good entertainment that later looks dated to its era. In this sense, Shazam would technically be really dated if it recalled an era 15 years prior to its release, but time will tell.

Easily the best DCEU movie so far - extremely funny and likeable, with a great cast and well-made action sequences. It drags on a bit, especially in the finale, the characterisation is rushed at times, and there’s too much slo-mo, but it was overall a very enjoyable experience. Levi hits exactly the right tone throughout, while Strong’s character and performance are much better than I expected from the trailers, if still one of the weaker elements. More like this, please, Warner Bros!

Shazam is the first DC movie that is completely self-aware and does not take itself seriously, but also being well written for the most part. It manages to bring in a good balance of both darkness and lightness in tone, reminding me of the Sam Raimi Spider-Man Trilogy. The satire and jokes played is fun to watch and most of the main cast members give pretty great performances, including the child actors. Some of the CGI is a bit ropey in places, but overall Shazam was a nice surprise hit for me.

Standard-to-above-average Marvel Cinematic Universe fare. However, the fact that it is firmly and proudly set in the DC Universe makes it more of a revelation. Good to know DC is capable of making something this silly and fun.

I could deal without yet another origin story that goes nowhere. Felt both too long and too short, uninnovative, rehashed. At least teenagers should enjoy the movie for what it is I guess.

Has a kids vibe. Good amount of jokes per minute. Horror was good but limited by PG-13 (not necessarily bad). Really frustrating to see main characters not keep a secret at all. Zachary Levi and the kid were really separate personalities. Nice ending setup with the carnival. Villain fights take too long---why do superheroes always resort to fisticuffs when they can shoot lightning? Fav scene: the wizard really had a captivating presence.
