It was super cute! Really enjoyed the story and the characters were cute. Not mega wow, but very fun!
Characters:
Shazam (Zachary Levi) – the hero body
Dr Sivana (Mark Strong) – the power hungry kid
Billy Batson (Asher Angel) – the kid who is pure of heart
Freddy Freeman (Jack Dylan Grazer) – the new nerdy brother
Wizard (Djimon Hounsou) – the protector of magic
Darla Dudley (Faithe Herman) – the new younger sister
Mary Bromfield (Grace Fulton) – the new older sister
Eugene Choi (Ian Chen) – the new younger brother
Pedro Pena (Jovan Armand) – the new older brother
Rosa Vasquez (Marta Milans) – the new mom
Victor Vasquez (Cooper Andrews) – the new dad (side note: this man seems like the sweetest person on earth)
Summary:
“We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s case, by shouting out one word – SHAZAM. – this streetwise fourteen-year-old foster kid can turn into the grown-up superhero Shazam.” – IMDB Summary
Overall, I’d recommend it! DC did a great job. It will be fun to see how these characters tie in to the over arching story. Some parts were really funny and as a whole there are pieces people can relate to. Super cute, fun, family superhero movie. Also, shout out to Levi for being such an awesome human being!
7.5/10
