Shazam!!!

[Closerframe]

I'm not saying I want them to be as dark as Batman Begins, I mean FF was to cartoony thats what made them not be as much as of a success to the audiences. Spider-Man knew how to satisfy both kids and hard core fans (not including the horrible GG suit) well FF on the other hand was aimed directly for families and not as much fans especially in the Rise of the Silver Surfer. I mean they should make Shazam and The Flash on the same lines as Spider-Man. While Ghost Rider, Punisher, and Green Lantern should be on the same lines as Batman Begins...

The kid aimed comic films are always worse quality though. If they make it more like SM etc, they seem to pay more attention to quality, unlike F4 because they just have to appeal to the lowest common denominator, it's ok to make films for kids, but they make them so badly and basic.

 

[Billy Batson]

The demographic has nothing to do with the quality of a film.
I have enjoyed some great films aimed at children, comic book films are aimed at fantasy lovers of all ages.
Kids are not the main demographic of comic book films, just like children are not the main demographic that comics appeal too.

 

[Cyrusbales]

Kid targeted films tend to be less creative and more formulaic on the wholoe, and simpler, thus detracting from quality.

 

[Hypestyle]

...hopefully lots of action but not graphic..

 

[Mr. Socko]

I remake of Shaq's movie?


Oh wait...

 

[I Am The Knight]

Am I the only one who thinks this is going to be a big bomb?

 

[The Marvel]

If they cast The Rock it WILL bomb.

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

The Rock should be Black Adam,if he is Captain Marvel..then the film is a failure.

some films can strike a balance between adults and kids case in point is he Incredibles one of the best superhero movies ever IMO.

And Finding Nemo.

My whole family loves it (6 people, youngest is 19).

Children's films can be a great success. However, very often, they're a load of stupid rubbish put out by a bunch of twits in suits who can't remember how to be a child.

Yes, we are all children at heart.

you cant compare those movies with Captain marvel

 

[Norm3]

If it has the Rock in it or is made for little Kiddies count me out!

 

[Damiean Dark]

I dont know too much about Captain Marvel whats his personality and what drives him? or is he another empty headed square jawed hero?.

 

[ChinoXL]

The rock is the only reason i'd see Shazam!!!

 

[Katsuro]

I've seriously come to like The Rock as an actor, probably mostly due to "Be Cool". However, Captain Marvel is the wrong role for him. He's Black Adam, plain and simple.

 

[Spider–Man]

If they cast The Rock it WILL bomb.

ditto

[The Marvel]

Interesting.

 

[Billy Batson]

Glad to have that part out of the way.

 

[REDophile]

If this is supposed to be a Captain Marvel origin movie, Black Adam shouldn't even be the villain, its gotta be Dr. Sivana.

very curious with how that new draft came out.

so it sounds to have a healthy dose of comedy. i think that's a good thing. of course we're not talking about Three Stooges here, but the Shazzam franchise for the most part have been very family friendly and humour is a big reason for that.

Wasn't he the one who said he hated the Shazam comics? I don't see why he'd be faithful to them!

He never said that. He said that the original stories weren't as good as someone say.
