Synopsis
Imagine Big crossed with Superman. Orphan Billy Batson has struggled in his young life, moving from one foster home to another. His life changes when he meets an ancient wizard who chooses Billy as a champion, giving him incredible power. Saying the word “Shazam” changes the teen into a superhero with the power of mythological figures. Even when tall and muscled, however, Billy is still a kid — and Shazam is colorful and comic as the kid realizes he can do almost anything.
Asher Angel plays Billy, and Zachary Levi is his perfectly polished alter-ego Shazam. But this isn’t a trouble-free coming of age story. Dr. Thaddeus Sivana, an unstable inventor played by Mark Strong, was almost given the power of Shazam in his own youth. He was not chosen as Billy was, leaving him bitter and twisted. Sivana has found his own path to power, however, and isn’t about to let Shazam steal his thunder.

How could he catch a bus by the windshield?! Worst movie ever!! The average bus weighs between 25,000 and 40,000 pounds (11 to 18 metric tons). Not only would his hands go straight through any windshield (or any metal parts of the bus for that matter) but stopping that much…

From “Watchmen” to “The Incredibles” and most of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there have been any number of movies set in a world where the general public knows about the existence of superheroes. The common folk in these films refer to such enhanced (and sartorially…

Between this and Aquaman, I’m digging this Bizarro Universe we suddenly live in where DC movies are super fun. Full review at ScreenCrush.

- nel lovedShazam!
the only good movie from DC
Aidan White likedShazam!8.3/10 pleasantly surprised by this movie - very entertaining movie and casting done very well - i would have liked to give billy a little more depth like exploring his moms history a bit more but very solid
Sabrina Bondi likedShazam!Overall, Shazam! is a fun movie with mature themes sprinkled in. It embraces the camp and humor this character needs to succeed on the big screen, even poking fun at previous DC heroes and films.
- Whit Williams likedShazam!
Billy becomes a superhero and the first thing he does is buy beer.
Hollz lovedShazam!The Cinematic feeling and cinematography this movie has is insane, truly one of the most amazing and underrated dc movies. As someone who has watched almost all of the dc movies and shows this is by far one of the best. I constantly rewatch this because of how incredible it is. 👏
Gabrielle Salles lovedShazam!It’s very funny. I like DC comics the new movie is also great. I think it would have been better if he didn’t share his powers at the end

Feels new, fresh, and fun. But the bratty teenager schtick gets annoying halfway through.
KCKimberly CooperIt wasn't action packed enough. My 10 old daughter fell asleep during the movie. It was a 4:00pm movie.

One wishes the movie had a little more heft to it. It's fine, even welcome, to see a superhero exult in his abilities, and on that level, Shazam! is generally fun. Even so, that lightning symbol notwithstanding, the film only occasionally conjures the spark of magic that gives the title its meaning.

Shazam! operates as a thrilling fantasy and a comedy about the learning curve of growing up. It’s also a stirring tale of the heroic potential that lies inside each of us, if only we’re put to the test.
