Put simply, Shazam! is a lightning bolt of wondrous entertainment! The film is unapologetically juvenile in its approach and aims (scratch that) succeeds at pleasing the younger superhero fan base. Don’t get me wrong, adults will enjoy the film as well, but this is decidedly the “lightest” of the DC movies - no dark and brooding Gods among men to be found here. The movie is also helped by a strong cast of likeable characters, with Levi in particular bringing real youthful charm to his performance. However, the tale being told, another origin story of course, hits all the usual genre beats and never gives us anything that we haven't seen before. There are some touching lessons about what it means to be a family though, and thus gives the movie a nice heart at its core. So in the end, Shazam! unquestionably delivers a guaranteed good time in a rather crowded superhero field at the ol' multi-plex!
