Review of Shazam! (2019) by Is4U2P — 09 Apr 2019

First, let’s clarify something here for the younger generation... Shazam existed well before the power rangers and the Marvel family goes back as far as the 1940s, so any copying was on the part of the power rangers. Now on to the review!

This was kind of like Big, if the boy in Big wished he were a super hero. It is genuinely a very entertaining movie for the whole family and it plays out well enough that I would like to see another one.

If you’ve read any of the reviews, you know that Billy Batson is an orphan that is chosen to wield the powers of Shazam, while his nemesis is chosen to be the champion of the 7 deadly sins (a host for demons). Although Billy has some growing pains as he learns to deal with the powers that he’s recently been granted and his lack of maturity doesn’t help. The movie plays out in a predictable way, that is actually comforting, because you would expect nothing less than a bit of immature antics from a teenage boy that’s suddenly thrust into an adult super heroes body.

Overall, it wasn’t too long and it had some surprises that had people in the audience screaming excitedly. If you haven’t seen the movie, I highly recommend going and taking the family if you have one... Just ignore the 0 and 2 star reviews, because it’s clear they haven’t actually watched the movie.
