    First the costume! WTF is that. It looks like it came out of a Walmart $10 costume bag.

    The trailers make it look awful. WB needs to stop making superhero movies.

    I don't even know which umpteenth superhero movie you're talking about.

    I thought the trailer looked OK. If anything, this is a lighter movie than the usual DC "so dark..." fare.

    I've always preferred the DC heroes but their movies blow.

    Shazam has an average kid get major league super powers and it plays out realistically it seems since its how I would have tried to figure this out if I had super powers as a kid. So of course its light and funny.

    Personally, I think Shazam! is going to be the movie that saves the DCEU.

    I beg to disagree. The trailer doesn’t make it look appealing at all. Rather it makes it Look cheesy.

    Could be a good break from their grimdark edgelord motif.

    Meh, to each their own. I love superhero comedies like GotG, Antman and Thor: Ragnarok. I even liked Mystery Men, so yeah, I like the cheese too.

    Looks like a pile of crap to me. Mystery Men is excellent!



    Fans are making better DC films than DC
