Review of Shazam! (2019) by Quarantinev1 — 04 Apr 2019
Shazam! is without a doubt one of the closest things you can get to a perfect comic book adaptation. Having read a bunch of Captain Marvel stories, it was exciting seeing how much stuff they managed to seamlessly fit into the film. The mostly lighthearted tone of the film was great, and they managed to land a fair amount of good jokes, so it was very enjoyable to watch. Though it had just over a two hour runtime, the pacing and entertainment I got out of it made it feel like barely an hour and a half had gone by.
In my eyes, it was both enjoyable as a faithful adaptation of a DC property as well as a film, which is a welcome change given some of the past entries in Warner Brother's expanded universe attempt. I really feel like Warner Brother's is starting to get it right now.
