    Hi!
    I was wondering that if someone could recommend me movies which have light heart filled comedy & romance, action, political, some spy/gangster stuff, secret agents, protecting the world etcetera etcetera. I.e {}kingsman {} kingsman2 {} avengers2012 {} night at the museum {} bourne series {} mission impossible {} 21 jump street {} Etcetera etcetera.

    Oh also you can also recommend me some teen(+18) romamce/comedy movies like {} American pie {} van wilder {} roadtrip etcetera etcetera.

    If you don't mind adding heist to the list, then how about Leverage?

    How about:
    'Men In black 1, 2 and 3' (didn't watch the newest one yet so I don't know)
    'Justice league movie' (the live action one, the one made in 2017)
    Jumanji (the 1995 movie)
    Zathura: A Space Adventure
    Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (the new movie should be good too I suppose)
    Shazam! (maybe, it wasn't bad)

    Watch anything adapted from a John le Carre novel such as tinker tailor soldier spy or the smily’s people tv series. Those are some of the best proper espionage series.

    How about the Lucifer TV series? It's a comedic buddy cop romance featuring a straight-laced detective and, well, the devil himself.

    Face Off is really good
    You can also try the Robert Langdon series, although the books are much better :blobsweat:
    The Matrix is also quite impressive :blobpopcorn_cool:
    And if you don't mind TV series then I also recommend Sherlock (it's freaking awesome) and Lucifer (all those puns.....:blobxd:)

    I'm not a hater, I love hero movies. This is just trash made for kids under 10... even cartoons are better. They can't be all good.

    Reviews from IMDB once you get past the obviously paid ones.

    POSITIVE REVIEWS ARE A FRAUD ON YOU!

    After 45minutes of sheer boredom, I walked out of this movie and saw Dumbo instead. As the honest reviewers have aptly noted, SHAZAM! is designed for younger children age 8-14. Older teenagers and adults will find this movie tedious, unimaginative, and hard to watch for more than 15 minutes. The reviewers who gave this a "10" are purposely fooling you; they likely were paid to do it. Don't fall for this amateurish mess. I've seen better CG on cable. It's not exciting, it's not funny, it's nothing!

    Poor storyline, too childish and boring

    Can't believe anyone would give this movie 10/10. The movie is childish to the enth degree, I know Its Shazam and it needs to be a little childish but it was like watching a preschool cartoon.

    Strictly for the youngest

    Weird seing a movie like this in the cinema. Isn't stuff like this supposed to be barely glimpsed, flipping past Disney Channel?

    Wish I hadn't wasted the money

    I honestly thought this was a borderline awful movie. It was classic DC, they overdid the suspense to the point where it got boring. First of all, the set up to the story was very repetitive and took way too long. Secondly, the animations of the "bad guys" was very poor. The biggest problem I have with this movie is that the fight scenes were very disappointing and consisted of people running away the whole time. The main character didn't even use his lightning super powers once again the main villain.... what? No one got hurt even once in this movie, there seemed to be no stakes at all. At least half an hour of the movie was dedicated to the super hero running away from the villain. It was just so monotonous and poorly done. Lastly, this movie was made out to be much funnier than it actually was in the ads. The pros of this movie just do not outweigh the cons. This is coming from someone who usually likes most movies. I just cannot support this one.

    I still can't believe it

    It's been a very long time since I wanted to walk out of the cinema mid-movie. This film felt like an utter waste of time. It was boring, borderline offensive with the way they portrayed some characters, idiotically simplistic with the plot (those conclusions the characters got from basically no information is like wtf), and just all in all a terrible movie. It could have been soooo good and funny, but all the good parts were put into the trailer, with the rest of the movie dragging on forever. The number of bored sighs and flashes of phones when people kept checking their phone was more entertaining than anything on the screen. I wish I could have my money and time back.
