    I've been expecting this movie for ~ year and a half. The trailer is awesome.
    The movie ... is not, I mean I was expecting it to be for younger audience but this I wouldn't recommend watching to anyone over 11.
    Btw is Billy Arya's brother?

    I watched it... conclusion: really cheesy, old style family bond theme, just childish in general

    well 3/4 of the film are cheesy but good final battle. i meant what do you expect from an orphan boy with supermanlike power, doing silly stuffs first then save the world

    Well, yes it was quite bad compared to other previous movies, probably because they changed it removing black adam from it and all, I mean the origin story is a bit different actually :blobsweat_2:

    I have always liked DC better then Marvel but the movies leave a lot of room for improvement. I didn't really watch the movie, couldn't stay focused.

    Well, what can we expect? They're kids having in the body of an adult and act like a kid.

    I expect it to be made better, it's not good to limit audience for a movie like that. This should fall into all age category like Harry Potter, One Piece, Superman...

    Even though everyone here confirmed how crappy it is, all you care about is a bit more video quality which you probably won't even notice?

    From Chuck to Shazam
    Should have seen it coming, Superman was in Chuck.
    I might just watch it for Zach

    All I can say is... I have stopped caring about other peoples opinion about movies ever since I wasted money on 'Annabell', and 'Black panther-with the crappiest fights and plot of all time (it was nothing new)' became the highest money grosser.

    p.s- I found Deadpool2 boring & Ant-man and the wasp a waste of everything (like seriously the acting was so bad. It's like people aren't even watching movies anymore. ANd the scriptwriters aren't trying. They remind me of clothing brand which sells for an awful bundle of money and gives nothing new in quality.

    I agree on Deadpool 2 and Antman and The Wasp. Don't know why you don't like Black Panther but mkay, your waste of time if you wanna watch Shazam(it's way worse than Antman and The Wasp)

    Nothing much really. It's just that BP's plot was too generic (a lost brother came home for the throne- bitch please). And then the last clan fight was bad (For me because I was watching Jackie Chan's police story in those days. PS 1&2 had really great choreographed action sequences. They made my heart pound.) This is all from me. I'll stop now.

    I don't see why's that too generic, you don't stop listening to music because it's generic for most bands to have guitars. The amazing thing about BP is the hidden technologically advanced country, the tribal gorilla like guy is funny, the sister is funky, Korea action is awesome...
    I'd say pretty good origin story movie.

    No way, Chuck is great but to his each own.
    I simply loved the Schadenfreude
    It was basically a bikini shot with the female lead every episode
    Didnt notice that a decade ago but it was even used an as running gag in season 5 as part of the plot
    Rewatched it recently and it felt even better since I could recognize the guest stars from Kristin Kreuk to Rachel Bilson to Summer Glau, Timothy Dalton etc
    Even Sarah Conors and Superman - Brandon Routh guest starred. The budget of the show was much higher than I thought

    Also Olivia Munn, had to google haha
