In universe, why would the characters know either superman theme? Obviously because they watched the Deadpool 2 teaser trailer.

Caught an early showing and loved it. Captures the spirit of the character perfectly. I’ll definitely catch it again when it’s in theaters. It’s fun and family friendly without feeling corny. Managed the strike the balance perfect i think. Really hoping we get a sequel. I went to a screening earlier tonight. I think I might give it another go. I sure as hell would not mind watching it again.

Saw an early screening today , absolutely fantastic superhero movie . the humor landed, cast was top notch - Mark Strong was my favorite part of the movie . I had lost hope in DC but Aquaman and Shazam have changed my opinion on the brand

Amazing how positive audiences will be about your comic book movie when you embrace every aspect of the comic book you're adapting, instead of trying to adapt the comic into an unfitting formula.

I can't believe Disney paid off critics to only give this a 93% RT score.

So haven't seen it yet, but I like the concept it seems to have of "Big meets Hancock"
He's a kid who just got a Flying Brick powerset, of course he's gonna be an awkward dork.

In universe, why would the characters know either superman theme? In universe here, there is all kinds of merchandise for the heroes. Freddy wears a different DC shirt in nearly every scene&at one point there's a fight in a toy store that has a whole section of action figures. Conceivably the theme would come from one of 'their' cartoons or whatever

And as far as heart, there is one scene where you'll unexpectedly be like: "I'm so sorry Billy."

"We were having fun Shazam! I didn't expect to feel something!"
The one thing I am concerned about is they gave Sivana such a similar power set to the Shazam powers that once Black Adam comes along it may feel as if we've seen the fight before.
It's sorta how I feel about Carnage coming up in a Venom movie. Anything he does, we saw Riot do. Kinda the deal here.
I'm sure Zach vs Rock will be fun, just something I thought about.
Though given the sequel tease for something else, it could be a tremendously fun different direction.

There's also a plot development for the climax I'm pleased and surprised the marketing has kept quiet that audiences are gonna really like.

Just got in from seeing it. Lot of fun, really enjoyed it. Did have some issues with it though. Main things that come to mind are... {Spoiler}The climax is WAY too long - though to be fair it is pretty much the only real fight scene in the movie, the Sins' powers seemed to vary based on the needs of each given scene and I in general had no idea how strong these things were supposed to be (for instance, ditching all but Envy once makes Sivana vulnerable to a Batarang, but then doing it for the climax he's just fighting the same as he has the whole movie), while I liked the family it felt like some of them were a lot more defined than others which made the climax feel all the more drawn out, and the bully stuff gets pretty obnoxious very quickly. Still on the whole I really liked it. Billy was great, Mark Strong kills it, and it is both a very good (if somewhat oddly profanity-heavy) family movie and pretty damn funny. Really like the way the mid-credits teaser is done too, makes me want to see how they handle it.

just got home from it, it was sooooo good. Had a bad couple of weeks, so I really needed a (mostly) lighthearted movie. This definitely provided.
Was good to see John Glover again too

I shudder to think what Zack Snyder would have done. Shazam would probablt have been abused as a child in the orphanage And he would " mercy kill" black adam in his old man form.

Still haven't seen Captain Marvel yet, so I'm thinking of making it a double-feature with this tomorrow. Seems fitting.

Wait, it's out now? I thought people were talking about it, including spoilers, a couple of weeks ago?
