Shazam Shazam General Discussion and Speculation - Part 2

[samsnee]

Have we confirmed if there are end credit scenes and how many? I don’t want them spoiled, just if I need to stay to the very end.

I did see there is a post credit scene. I think just one but I'm not sure

I heard that there are two. Middle and post credit scene.
I don't know if those would be changed from the early screening but we're very close to the actual release, there's no reason to.

 

[Mysteryman]

I hope that there are none.
We don't need them.

 

[samsnee]

I assume there’s probably a Black Adam tease at most. I just don’t like sitting to the very end for nothing.

 

[Lucellit]

More interviews.


This one contains discussion of faint elements of some scenes but spoils nothing major.


More screenings are happening so I suggest to not read YouTube comments much. I saw one that mentions part of a scene (the first vid) perhaps there are more around.

 

[Orb]

There are two post credit scenes. Also heads up but the entire movie summary is out there online. I've read it of course cuz I have no self control but just warning yall

 

[mclay18]

They're adding to the early 3/23 screenings. Two AMC theaters, both AMC Classic Durham 15 and Southpoint, opened up booking.

Too bad they're not doing it with the theater I'm working at tho.

 

[Web-Head]

A week from now and I will just be getting out from seeing this. Luckily this week is gonna go by fast

 

[Karelia]

I haven't really read Shazam comics, I saw BAM had a graphic novel promoting the movie for about 12 bucks, so I picked it up along with a Hellboy GN.

I'm in the same boat as you bud, just one more week!

 

[Nardz937]

I plan on seeing it the 23rd. Happy to see the great response. Looks like an absolute blast.

Is this the first comic book movie with a Dr. Pepper promotion since Spider-Man?

Lucky you, 23rd! Enjoy your time then.

Dr Pepper is a sponsor for BvS and WW too, but I don't remember if there's any product placement or not.

"So #Shazam is TONS of fun. DC has a hero movie that hits the usual origin notes, but throws in A LOT of humor, horror, and heart. There's a lot of smiles to be had with this one, especially with a da---- strong third act. And now... the junket.
(I'm not sure if that word is allowed in the board or not, just to be safe.)

Another interview.

With this level of praise, i would be really distraught if RT is gonna be any less than 93%.

It seems genuinely good from everyone with little to no flaw, and a very family friendly premise means or seems that even when the details reviews come out, people will have a little more leniency, i think.

Not saying that critics are biased, but we all know how it goes. They are impartial only so much, that if a movie plays with their heart string just a little, they are willing to tip the scale a little, letting the goods outweight the bads, especially there are few to none that ks bad from the reactions we have seen so far.

 

[Micromind]

This is just my observation, not putting out any conspiracy theory behind it but, most of the times, DC movies get lower scores than they deserve. So, while I'm expecting above 90 RT score (based on near unanimous praise this movie's getting on twitter) , I wouldn't be surprised if the actual score is between 70 % to 80 %.

 

[Lucellit]

Personally, fresh score is already a win and higher than Aquaman's will make me happily backflip to my bed.
It has good signs of high RT still, one of them is critics like David Ehrlich (who isn't very high of CBM) is liking it.

I think we can safely say that fresh RT is definite at this point. That alone already take off our stress.

What I'm not looking forward to: tired, repeated (mostly BS) statements like, "Finally, DC knows humor/ jokes/ being light" that we already heard since Suicide Squad (or BvS Doomsday trailer) or dragging several names as punching bag.
And inevitable "The War of Captain Marvels". It's already awkward enough to see Carol and her movie or comics mentioned in many twitter reactions. Of course, "Endgame buries Shazam at the box office".

Doubt it could be nominated, but a Golden Globe nomination for Best Comedy could happen (it happened to Deadpool after all).

 

[COCOS]

shazam is not hyped for his fun moment, its more because off the story,
some people were expectin the usual cheesy super hero stuff ala Spiderman..& deadpool .but its look like they got caught off guard all off them .....

Not all Best Comedy nominees are focused on comedy, Get Out was nominated as a comedy. It's just that it can be submitted for Best Comedy since it has a lot of comedy instead of Best Drama which would make it easier to get nominated.

More reviews now at Letterboxd. All still positive, even a person who didn't love it still enjoyed it and deemed it worth to watch and thinks that sequels seem exciting (3,5 stars).
Now, no big spoilers there but some did mention things that aren't in marketing so far.

 

[TheUndertaker]

If this can get such a good score, I think Shazam! can easily get a 90+ score going from all the reactions. Similar premise too.

 

[Gee]

Embargo lifts at 9:30PM EST according to Grace.
