About this movie

We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s (Asher Angel) case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam (Zachary Levi), courtesy of an ancient wizard (Djimon Hounsou). Still a kid at heart—inside a ripped, godlike body—Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he’ll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong).

"Shazam!" is an awesome movie, which is true to the source material. Due to the great acting, the characters feel alive. Even the child actors are very good and play their role almost perfectly. The costumes might look wired for people who have never read the comics. I'm very thankful it wasn't altered just because some people on the internet had a problem with the look. I think it did justice to it's original. The comedy and the jokes where a good addition and rarely interrupt an intense scene. Final thoughts: As a longtime Shazam!-fan I'm glad that it got such an awesome adaption. It felt like the comic books came to life. And I'm happy it wasn't a soleless cash grab like the newer movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Eine Art Superman für Kinder... Mir hat das Film weiniger gefallen, weil er eher für Kinder zugeschnitten ist. Shazam der Held ist ein Kind im erwachsenen Körper wenn er zum Helden wird, leider sieht die Rolle auch vor, dass er sich kindisch verhält.

Meiner Meinung nach einer der schlechtesten dc Filme. Geht mehr so in die Marvel Richtung. Nen looser der durch einen Zufall zu nem Held wird, ohne etwas dafür getan zu haben und dann auch ganz viele Freunde findet. Und natürlich die Welt rettet. Und sich an den schulhofraudis rächt
