Shazam! - 沙贊!

Shazam! (沙贊!) is an 2019 film. The movie stars Zachary Levi. The rest of the cast is a really big ensemble. The movie is part of the DCEU.



Shazam is a wizard looking for someone that is worthy to past on his powers to, to protect the realm from the seven evils. When he finds Billy Batson, the wizard transfers his powers and his responsibilities over to him. Billy Batson is 14 years old and we find out the beginnings of a new Shazam. So things go wrong, oh so wrong. Billy acts like a 14 year would if given all these powers. The evils chosen villain appears to challenge the might of Shazam. Will Shazam over come the immaturity of being a 14 year old or succumb to the villain?



The movie is doing quite well at the box office numbers during its beginning weeks, but has trailed off bit since. There's a reason, the movie is quite dark, even for the story in the early teen years. If you have a pre-teen, you might have to explain a lot of things.

The major thing I didn't like about this movie is that he's 14 and acts like it, even with his powers. I don't know, I don't like rebellious teenagers in real life and I certainly don't like them on screen. That's one my pet peeves with Anime too, so many imports have high school students as heroes and its sucky for someone at my age. Shazam cannot escape this too.

If you want to keep up with the DCEU or its on Netflix, why not watch it. However, better to skip it in the theaters.
