Review of Shazam! (2019) by Lamontraymond — 23 Mar 2019
These days, if a comic book movie is not either super serious and well-acted (see: The Dark Knight), or VERY funny (see: Deadpool or the first Iron Man), I'm typically bored to death by them (see: Avengers, Civil War, etc, etc.
). Shazam is just a hell of a lot of fun. It's funny, it's quick, and the actors are all incredibly sympathetic. The concept is simple but entirely effective. My sneak preview screening was met by roars of approval, big laughs, and applause at the end.
If you're going to see it, by all means, stay for the credit sequence (with a bad-ass Ramones song underlying it). Clearly, the makers of this movie are comic book lovers.
