The Adventures of Captain Marvel may not be a classic, but it’s representative of the action serials during the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Can't recommend it. Don't understand why movie was so long. Action was terrible. They could not represent Shazam in a good way at all

This was just an awesome movie. Really. It was entertaining to watch, the flying wasn't bad. The big bad wasn't even horrible, I liked the scorpion. It was fun to watch every episode and think yourself, "someone here is scorpion and hiding it.. but we don't know". When I watched the final episode and found out who it was I couldn't believe it. I don't wanna spoil who it is but man he was the last one for me to suspect!

Although the synopsis may give a good thing, you have to understand that the series is ultra stretched and long. This makes the series VERY boring but also long and without any logic. And also the plot only allows you one episode, not a 216 minute series in total. But if I can give a plus it's the fx which are a bit B series but can be nice at times, Captain Marvel's costume is very faithful to the one in the comics, even if for the scorpions he had more budget obviously. And even if they have for some reason decided to make Billy an adult. The actor manages to keep the young side of the original character. Even if he has some qualities the show is so boring that it makes it a very bad show.
