Review of Shazam! (2019) by Brunovn00 — 07 Apr 2019

Out of all the DCEU movies so far, this is the best for me. Not because it means it's actually good or great or a masterpiece, but because it's so silly, cheesy and funny that it makes the movie so fun to watch.

This is one of the most fun experiences I've had watching a movie this year, because this movie doesn't take itself too seriously and that's fine, you can't make a movie about a kid that transforms into a guy in red spandex when he yells a word actually serious or dark, it's meant to be silly and that's what this movie is, filled with tons of self-aware humor that makes fun of superhero clichés, over-the-top and cartoonish characters and performances (Like it looks that Zachary Levi had so much fun playing the character, you can tell) and it's a movie to spend a pretty good time overall, this isn't a superhero movie, it's a borderline comedy and I liked that.
