Looking good

Anyone seeing RT yet, some say its 96 at the moment but I cant see anything.

 

[hawkflame]

Not bad. Even the most mixed review so far still ended up giving it a B.

 

[BaelaTargaryen]

78 on Metacritic with 14 reviews.

 

[Detective Conan]

Very proud to be a DC fan today. Looks like a major win for DC(critically) we'll see if that will translate to a good box office run.

 

[Detective Conan]

96% percent right now y'all!

 

[samsnee]

Deserves the praise. It’s a breath of fresh air.

 

[dennis_3107]

I managed to screenshot this, 100% lol.

 

[Iceman]

Well this is an awesome start!!

 

[jemoen]

That man who ruined the 100% score lmao. I was expecting it to be some big publication but it's an unknown blog.
He should've waited until tomorrow at least lol the 100% headlines over

 

[hawkflame]

78 on Metacritic with 14 reviews.

For what its worth, that number beats out all but 3 Marvel movies:

Every Marvel Movie, Ranked From Worst to Best

And yes, that list includes all of Marvel not just MCU, so it tops films like Logan, the first Raimi Spider-man, and Deadpool too. It also is scoring higher than Batman Begins, Wonder Woman, and is tied with The Dark Knight RIses.

Of course, take this with a grain of salt, since it's really early and I expect the number to change, but so far it's in good company.

 

[Typhoon22]

Saw it's at 97%. Though no reviews counted. How many reviews are there?

So happy for Zachary Levi. He deserves it.
I will be pissed iff this movie doesn't do well at the BO though. Deserves to be doing as well as the latest CBM releases.

 

[Lucellit]

Percentage still not appear on my device but it's 2 page with only one rotten. Good start on MC too.

In mine, 18 reviews on RT with 1 negative.

But I don't recommend to just started read reviews, even from known publication because usually some of them have unexpected spoiler bombs still.

 

[jemoen]

30/31 reviews on RT - 97%

79 on MC

No reviews showing up on my phone when I got to RT.

 

[dhandler01]

I see 97% at 32 reviews

 

[Gothamsknight]

These reviews are absolutely fantastic. I'm hyped!! A great time to be a DC fan for sure

 

[-Arya-]

We’ve got a consensus

An effortlessly entertaining blend of humor and heart, Shazam! is a superhero movie that never forgets the genre's real power: joyous wish fulfillment.

 

[hawkflame]

Also, 16 reviews in at Metacritic, and it actually went *up* to a 79. 15 positive, 1 mixed.

 

[Gee]

Wow, B+ from that IndieWire guy who hates superhero flicks.

Great start and good average rating.
