    Storyline

    Edit
    In Philadelphia, Billy Batson is an abandoned child who is proving a nuisance to Child Services and the authorities with his stubborn search for his lost mother. However, in his latest foster home, Billy makes a new friend, Freddy, and finds himself selected by the Wizard Shazam to be his new champion. Now endowed with the ability to instantly become an adult superhero by speaking the wizard's name, Billy gleefully explores his new powers with Freddy. However, Billy soon learns that he has a deadly enemy, Dr. Thaddeus Sivana, who was previously rejected by the wizard and has accepted the power of the Seven Deadly Sins instead. Now pursued by this mad scientist for his own power as well, Billy must face up to the responsibilities of his calling while learning the power of a special magic with his true family that Sivana can never understand. —Kenneth Chisholm (kchishol@rogers.com)

    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!

    7/10
    Easy watching
    Easy watching, some funny bits. Starts off well but then gets a bit muddled in its ideas and a bit 'seen it all before'. I think the 7/10 is accurate but it a good seven.

    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?
