Still leased by Sony, who has not been good at the superhero movie
Reclaim what is rightfully yours, Marvel!
He's a teen! He sucks at life! Being Spider-Man is burdensome!
I'll give it this: that's pretty damned close to perfect as far as the writing goes. That said, I'm sure Sony will screw it up, like that time they shoehorned in Venom into SM3 for toy purposes and ruined it. Sigh.

Great cameos
Soundtrack is awesome
Great sequel, pretty hilarious
While I watch superhero films as a distraction, this was wonderfully fun and engaging. The graphics were phenomenal and baby Groot is literally the cutest thing in the Galaxy. The soundtrack is equally well chosen, from Cat Stevens to George Harrison, the music was spot on for the scenes. And the heartfelt story of the father-son affair was actually quite a tearjerker not to mention the great comedy. Fabulous all round entertainment.

quite predictable
A good super hero movie, but not too gripping
I love DC, which unfortunately makes this movie a difficult one to watch. It was a nice movie, but did not give the character any real justice. The story is not well formed, and sort of seem like it was just thrown together. Overall it is a fun movie to watch, but probably best to have it as a movie in the background to enjoy it.

It may have taken fourteen years, but it’s finally time to deal with the rise of the Underminer! Incredibles 2 (2018) #Review
Picking up mere moments after the first film ended, “Incredibles 2” wastes no time in re-treading the same ground as its illustrious predecessor. Brad Bird had been reluctant to make a sequel to his superhero magnum opus until he figured out the right story. It turns out, the right story was pretty much the one he told the last time...

DC has a fun side...
Shazam! is pretty much exactly what you would expect from a story about a boy with the ability to turn in to a fully grown adult superhero (with a very questionable muscle suit, it has to be said). As they are famously renowned for their dark content and moody superheroes, it is nice to see that DC has a fun side.

The movie itself reminded me of a lesser version of Big and a PG version of Kick Ass. The cast do a good job, in particular Asher Angel who plays young Billy Baston with confidence and a lots of swagger. Zachary Levi who plays the adult superhero version of Billy seemed to be having a blast.

However a couple of slight negatives for me was the fact that the two actors mentioned above are supposed to be playing the same person and adult Billy has literally none of the characteristics that young Billy has. Also the movie doesn't seem to be quite sure of it's target audience, as some scenes are really dark and creepy for kids, but the overall humour and jokes seem to be aimed more at children than adults.

I would say that the first half of Shazam! is better than the second half, as I felt I wasn't into the movie as much by the end. A long running time could have contributed to that though, as they could have easily cut twenty minutes or so from the film.

Still after all is said and done Shazam! is a fun movie and if you are wanting a superhero movie that doesn't take itself seriously, then this one is probably for you.
