I went into this not expecting much and actually found this story of transformative superheroics and foudn family to be entertaining and heartwarming.

a boy with a record of running away to try to find his mother who he lost at a fair finds a new household and then a magical being who imbues him with the power of a superhero. There's an enemy who wants power and a mother who needs to be found and a family that wants to find him. It's a film I want to add to our collection.

I really enjoyed this. It's very funny and light hearted. The fights aren't long and boring and its heart is in the right place. Recommended if you want to be smiling at the end of a film.

This was a really fun movie. I will admit I do not know too much about Shazam from the comics, but this film was pretty easy for me to get into and enjoy.

A boy gets the power to turn into an adult superhero.

3/4 (Good).

The action scenes are too long and the villains are boring. They have a lot of fun with the premise, though, and joyfully lean into how silly it is.
