Shazam! (2019)
4/10
Another failed idea from the DC universe
13 April 2019
It's one of those movies which tries too hard to be something but simply fails to do so. It tries to be funny and it puts a lot of effort into this aspect but all I got was one or two laughs in over two hours, which is simply unacceptable. It tries to have a story which might keep the viewer interested but it also fails, being mostly boring, linear and way to predictable. You can also add into the equation a couple of boring characters which are quite hard to like and you get a recipe for a failed movie like this one is. It seems aimed towards children, especially judging by the amount of them who are features in this movie, but it wouldn't be the case either, as a child would consider it too stupid, as I mostly did myself.

To be honest, it's very hard to find something good about this movie, regardless of the approach. It isn't funny, it doesn't have good characters, it doesn't have a good story (far from it actually), the action is meh while the CGI is the only aspect which keeps it alive. I don't understand what is there to like about this movie, but the way I see it, it is bad. Even though I wasn't expecting much from it, judging by the previous DC inspired flicks and its trailer but it still managed to disappoint me.
