We all have a superhero inside of us -- it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In 14-year-old Billy Batson's case, all he needs to do is shout out one word to transform into the adult superhero Shazam. Still a kid at heart, Shazam revels in the new version of himself by doing what any other teen would do -- have fun while testing out his newfound powers. But he'll need to master them quickly before the evil Dr. Thaddeus Sivana can get his hands on Shazam's magical abilities.

Absolute corny garbage SO MUCH CORN 🌽, terrible story. Why the name Billy for the main character? Such a common name that's completely out of use it's not 1976 anymore. I utterly hate this movie I can't believe they made a second. The acting too omg so terrible. I can't believe this movie has the score on here that it does, my girlfriend and I spent the entire movie complaining to each other about it.

Chicago Reader

It's an interesting departure for Swedish horror director David F. Sandberg (Annabelle: Creation, Lights Out), who proves he has more tricks up his sleeve than just things that go bump in the night.

Pretty bland... A little too light, fluffy, and negligible.

Film Comment Magazine

...[T]his film melds the unpretentious, dreamy joys of old-time comic books with the sly, rambunctious humor of Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon featurettes...

Every member of the cast gives a strong performance, but Zachary Levi steals the show. His whimsical attitude, reckless personality, and rich facial expressions are guaranteed to entertain you for most of the runtime.

Rated: B+

Overall, Shazam! is a fun movie with mature themes sprinkled in. It embraces the camp and humor this character needs to succeed on the big screen, even poking fun at previous DC heroes and films.

Rated: B

A really warm-hearted film, and I think it works so well because it's all about wish-fulfillment. ... It brought out so much nostalgia and joy.
