Here is My Movie Review of Shazam

 

Here is my movie review of Shazam 

So basically what happens is that you have this kid named Billy Batson and he is in a foster home. Then one day he goes into this Temple where he finds a wizard Who gives him powers And  he becomes Shazam and he wants to find where his biological mother is. So Billy and his family must all team up to take down Dr Sivana and save the world. That is basically what the story is for this movie. 

The acting in this movie is still Incredible because I still think that all the actors are having fun as their characters. This is still up there with Guardians of the Galaxy and one of the best Cast in a superhero movie.

Asher Angel plays Billy Batson In the film. I have to say he still does a terrific job as the character. What makes Billy Batson such an incredible character and that you really feel bad for him because He lost his mother at a young age and he doesn't feel like he fits in with his new family and he really wants to find out where his mother is. Probably the best moment with Billy Batson Is where he finally meets his mom after so long and not only is it really emotional but it made sense because he really wanted to find his mom and he succeeded and it's probably the most powerful moment of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Jack Dylan Grazer, Djimon Hounsou, and Falthe Herman is still tremendous

Zachary Levi plays Shazam In the film. I have to say he still does a spectacular job as the character. What makes to him such fantastic character is that at first he is being ego-eccentric using his powers just too receive fan and attention but later on in the film he starts to learn to be responsible and be the hero that everyone wants him to be. He really reminds me of Tony Stark / Iron Man from the MCU because he started out really self-centered and fame went to his head and he didn't care about being a hero but as the MCU went on he started to learn about being responsible and being the hero that everyone wanted him to be. Probably the best moment with Shazam is where he Is learning how to fly off of a skateboard ramp and he falls off multiple times and not only was it really funny but it made sense because he asked to learn how to use his powers it is probably the funniest Moment of the entire film.  Fun fact actors like Jack McDorman, John Cena, John Krasinski, Alan Richardson, Liam Hemsworth, Zac Efron, Armie Hammer, Lee Pace, Channing Tatum, Parker Young, Derek Theler, Joshua Sasse, and Billy Magnussun were all considered to play Shazam.

Jack Dylan Grazer plays Freddy Freeman In the film. I have to say he still does an excellent job as the character. What makes Freddy Freeman such an amazing character is that he basically wants to help Shazam become a real hero. Probably The best moment with Freddy Freeman is where he tells to them that he's not being responsible with his powers and just giving them to get fame and attention and not only was it a really strong moment but it makes sense because he is basically calling out to them for being fall himself. It is probably the most exquisite scene of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Asher Angel Is still great. Also the chemistry between him and Zachary Levi is still great. 

Djimon Hounsou plays the Wizard In this film. I have to say he still does an outstanding job as the character.  Now the Wizard is not in the film a whole lot but he basically serves as the voice of reason to tell Billy Batson to say the name Shazam to become the hero. Also I like how he explains that black Adam was there biggest mistake and not only was a really intense moment but I actually foreshadow the movie Black Adam which they mentioned that in that movie as well. Fun fact actors like Alan Alda, F. Murray Abraham, Michael Keaton, Tony Shalhoub, Ron Cephas Jones were all considered to play The Wizard. The chemistry between him and Asher Angel Is magnificent.

Grace Fulton plays Mary Bromfield In the film. I have to say she still does a spectacular job as the character. What makes Mary Bromfield And that you can tell that she really cares for her younger brother Billy Batson is that wants him to fit in with his new family. Probably the best moment with Mary Bromfield Is where she first needs Shazam for the first time and ask him how does he know her name and not only was it really funny but it makes sense because they have never met before and this is the first time they meet each other it is probably the funniest moment of the entire film. The chemistry between her and Asher Angel is really magnificent. Also the chemistry between her and Zachary Levi is exquisite.

Falthe Herman plays Darla Dudley In the film. I have to say she still does a Terrific job as the character. What makes Darla Dudley Is that you can tell that she really cares for her older brother Billy Batson and wants to help Shazam take down Dr. Sivana. Probably the best moment with Darla Dudley it's where she finds out that Billy Batson Is actually Shazam and not only was it really interesting but it made sense because she didn't know that her older brother is a superhero. It also reminds me of the scene in Ant-Man where Cassie Lang finds out that her father Scott Lang is Ant-Man. The chemistry between her and Asher Angel is still excellent. Also the chemistry between her and Zachary Levi is still fantastic

Mark Strong plays Dr Sivana In the film. I have to say he still does an exciting job as the character. What makes Dr Sivana Such an interesting villain is that he had a really understandable villain motivation he wants to harness the power of the seven deadly sins and give them to get revenge on his family and kill Shazam. Also his backstory is very interesting because when healed a kid Dr Sivana Was mistreated by his older brother and his father and when he visited the Wizard he told him that he would never be worthy. Probably the best moment with Dr Sivana is where he got revenge on his brother and father fighting in the seven deadly sins too kill them and not only was it really dark but it made sense because he wanted revenge on them for mistreating him when he was a kid. It is probably the most disturbing scene of the entire film. The rivalry between him and Shazam is astonishing. The chemistry between him and Zachary Levi is remarkable.

The directing by David F. Sandberg Is really brilliant because what I like about his directing is that he gives Shazam a really interesting character arc because at first he is reckless with his powers he's only using them to get fame at attention but at the film goes on he starts to learn the power of the being responsible and being a real hero. I still think it is really marvelous of how he did that. Fun fact director Sam Raimi expressed interest in directing this film.

So in conclusion i still really enjoy this movie because it bounces the tone between comedy and emotional moments and some very dark and horrifying moments very well. This movie is up there with Ant-Man and The Wasp as one of the funniest films of the 2010s. This is still in my top 10 favorite movies of 2019. Also the character arc that Shazam goes on is probably the the best part of this entire film because at first he is in over his head and only using his powers to get attention by the film goes on he learns from his mistakes and learns to be a real hero. Also Zachary Levi as Shazam is probably up there with Paul Rudd as Ant-Man and one of the best superhero performances. Also Dr Sivana Is up there with Mysterio from Spider-Man Far from Home as one of the best villains of 2019. I have to say if you enjoy Ant-Man with Paul Rudd then I'm sure you're going to like this one. I give this movie a 10/10.
