Shazam Shazam General Discussion and Speculation - Part 2

[Blitzkrieg]

Critics Consensus on RT:

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

I just got out and while I still enjoyed it, something about it fell a little flat for me. Maybe I was expecting more and it's still a fun time, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would

Shazam hashtag is trending worldwide on twitter.

In the theater, six minutes to the movie. See you all on the other side!

It feels like summer ‘17 again.

Delighted that a DC movie is being regarded as unambiguously great! Six years of mostly misery hopefully over

So weird and somewhat ironic that the original Captain Marvel will succeed where Superman has failed.

I'm so glad for the whole team that worked on this movie but especially for Zach. Ever since I watched him in Chuck and saw, not only what a great actor but also how exceptional as a person he is in general, I was looking forward to his big break on the silver screen. So, watching Shazam! get all those positive reviews, almost all of which praise Zach's performance, is like music to my ears. As for the movie itself, it looks like loads of fun. Can't wait to watch it.

My hype levels for Shazam are pretty damn high. Hopefully the studio takes notice and gets Big Blue on track.

What Shazam! is going to do for Levi was what MoS was SUPPOSED to do for Cavill. Very happy for Zach! He seems like a fantastic guy.

This is by far my favorite DC movie. Just the right level of scale and every character was perfect.

If there is a sequel, I wonder if they might opt for Mr Mind over Black Adam? I think they will build up Black Adam in a solo film before introducing him in a future film.

Spoiler

Yep. He apears in the movie and is teased as the post credits scene

 

[COCOS]

alot of people on social media keep sayin WB should push this movie for Best Picture & jack dylan graze for best supportive actor
im really shooked by the reaction so far.......

 

[writer0327]

I went in with sky-high into the stratosphere expectations and did not get let down whatsoever. This movie is unbelievable. From top to bottom, this is the best film in the DCEU hands down.

 

[Jonwo]

The Conjuring series seems like a good stepping stone for future DC films, I imagine the director of The Curse of La Llorona probably will be next if The Conjuring 3 turns out well, maybe even Gary Dauberman.

I still (personally) hold BvS in high regard and freaking loved Aquaman but Shazam was fantastic, man. Unequivocably. It is such a good time and it balances the tone perfectly. Its got such a huge heart and is genuinely funny without being farcical or going for slapstick or breaking the tone. I’d be taken aback if this doesnt get strong word of mouth. This is an easy four quadrant film.

 

[Incarnadine]

I saw it tonight and it was fantastic.

We finally have a DC movie that knows how to bring the fun. DC movies have been mostly too serious and dark so far, but SHAZAM! was well balanced and just plain enjoyable from start to finish.

I'll definitely be seeing it again on it's regular release date.

 

[FunkMiller]

Pity us poor folk who have to wait until April 4th to see it...

Me too! It’s a travesty that there’s no movie in the works for the second best comic book character in the world

 

[kguillou]

I'm definitely eager to watch it again, its the kind of movie you wanna rewatch right away as soon as the credits roll. And my audience ate it up, boy.

 

[TheUndertaker]

I believe it will stay over 90 on RT. Awesome!

 

[Deck Rickard]

Glad to see so many positive reviews! Looking forward to watching this.

After seeing Shazam! I hope we get Blue Beetle, Plastic Man, and all the other fun DC heroes.
