Review of Shazam! (2019) by Alexlunar — 04 Apr 2019
I should have gone with my first instinct after seeing the trailers. The trailers made it look like a throw away that the studio had no confidence in. The actor was poorly cast, the muscle suit looked like something out of an SNL skit, and the effects looked like they belonged on one of the CW Arrow-verse shows.
The preliminary reviews and RT critic scores gave me hope that maybe it was a sleeper-hit, so I actually allowed myself to get excited.
We went on Thursday opening night, which was super easy because the theater wasn't even 1/3 of the way full.
By the middle of the movie, I could already tell that all my original fears were actually true, and beyond that, the "villain" was insanely throw away and forgettable.
