    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When Shazam attempts to fly in the mall during his battle with Dr. Sivana, a group of seemingly unimpressed shoppers can be seen in the background paying him little mind. Those were actually visible crew members that were filmed by accident. Shopping bags were inserted digitally to give them the appearance of shoppers and cover the mistake up.
    • Goofs
      Shazam catches the falling bus by pressing his hands against the windshield, which somehow stays intact. It would surely have collapsed under such force.
    • Quotes

      [Shazam and Freddy confront armed robbers in convenience store]

      Shazam: Gentlemen, why use guns when we can handle this like real men?

      [Shazam takes gun of out robber's hand]

      Freddy Freeman: Billy, look out!

      [the other robber shoots him, the bullet ricochets off him]

      Freddy Freeman: Bullet immunity. You have bullet immunity!

      Shazam: [shocked] I'm bulletproof.

      [they both laugh before Shazam's expression suddenly turns serious]

      Freddy Freeman: [filming on his phone] Today is December 8th, and this video proof of authenticity. Shoot him again.

      Shazam: [hands back the robber's gun] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Here, here. Go. Both of you! Come on. Go to town.

      Freddy Freeman: Wait, wait, wait. We still don't know if the suit is bulletproof, or if you are. Shoot him in the face.

      Shazam: Shoot me in the face. In the face?

      [both robbers shoot Shazam in his face and the bullets ricochet off him]

      Shazam: It kinda tickles.

      [turning back to the robbers]

      Shazam: You're dead.

      [both robbers fly out the window in front of a couple]

      Shazam: [walking out of store with junk food] Sorry about your window.

      Freddy Freeman: Have a good night!

      Shazam: But you're welcome for not getting robbed!

    Still hoping someday DC will find the right tone
    If you measure this film against other DCEU movies it's pretty good, but stand it on it's own and it just isn't. The biggest problem with the movie is its tone - is this movie for kids or adults? The thin plot and hokey bits don't play for adults and the strip club and demons biting off peoples heads don't play for kids. My own kids wanted to like the film but nightmares about the demons and an unwanted conversation about why Shazam wanted to go see naked ladies turned them both off. As an adult, the super simple story and ridiculously over the top antagonist were big turnoffs. I think we all want to like this film, and that we all want DC to make good movies. Unfortunately this is another miss.

    FAQ11

    • Why was this movie made this way?
    • Why couldn't Billy Batson change, even after shouting "SHAZAM", when his head was under water?
    • Why does the wizard claim Billy is "pure in heart" when he later uses his powers for evil by stealing from the ATM?
