Shazam!

[Patrick Bateman 3911]

The OG Captain Marvel.  Meh.... Looks like Big except he has superpowers now.  Zach Levi has to win me over and I didn't see much in the trailer, but....... they haven't really revealed the heavy hitters in this.  Mark Strong as Doc Sivana and The Rock as Black Adam.  We'll have two Captain Marvel movies next year.

Looks great. 

[smuggs 9353]

This looks entirely better than I was expecting.

[ernest_t_bass 1196]

Was expecting a thread about Shaq.

[RPM 26318]

So should we tell them what goes on in the RV?

[mdmost 43001]

In because Zachery Levi is great

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19100]

I've seen people say this looks terrible. It's like no one ever actually read D.C. Comics. This looks exactly like the stories from the comics.

Yuck

It’s the Tom Hanks movie “Big” only with a superhero. Not a comic book geared towards Dark Knight fans.

It's not a remake of the Sinbad genie movie?

[Guest]

This was a badass show from my childhood.

 

Looks like the movie deviates a little...  damned shame.

[Parliament 14256]

So it's Big meets Superman?

[Patrick Bateman 3911]

Big meets Greatest American Hero???

Not a bad way to phrase it.   A kid in Superman’s body.

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

Looks good so far and seems to be a perfect role for Zach Levi's form of comedy.

will have better box office numbers than aquaman. bets?

Aquaman is going to perform at the level of the Fantastic Four movies.  

[Daichee Bell 2925]

Am I missing something?  Everything I've seen so far gives this a really positive outlook.  That's one of the worst costume attempts I've seen.  Looks like Turbo Man in Jingle All the Way.  Yes, yes..I just cited Jingle All the Way. Or, maybe 1990's Flash?

You’re thinking of this guy:

Second trailer looks so much better

 

 

[smuggs 9353]

Can't wait. This is probably the only movie than can break my 5 year old's current obsession with Miles Morales/Into the Spiderverse.

Aquaman crossed a billion worldwide a little while back. Shazam could be a massive hit and you'd still lose that bet.

[Vito Andolini 9126]

If the hot chick from the TV series comes back, they’ll probably have to rename her, huh?

Don't forget Electra Woman and Dyna Girl.

Joanna Cameron. She also was host of the Navy Network, a TV series produced by the United States Navy about aspects of Naval life, and directed a commercial for the Naval Academy titled Razor Sharp. So she's familiar working with seamen.

Spoiler

 

[Parliament 14256]

Woof

[Patrick Bateman 3911]

I think the executives on this made the right call in basically going "Big" for superheroes.  Shazam is such a corny character would have been difficult to do anything else with it.  No idea if it's any good, but my nephew (11) is super psyched about it after seeing previews and having no idea who this is.

 

[retread 2951]

I need to know who's playing Mentor before I commit to this.

Joanna

And RPM just destroyed my childhood. 😏

Other than Shazam/Isis, my favorite Joanna Cameron memory is when she raped Paul Sorvino in an ABC Movie of the Week.

Had tickets to see an advanced screening yesterday but the damn theater said their download failed so now I have to wait 2 weeks.

The reviewers are going nuts for this movie. The buzz is extremely positive.

 

[Drew 2405]

Yeah I'm not going to hype RT, but some reviews I'm seeing are saying it's by far the best DC entry to date(which will piss off the Wonder Woman crowd).

 

Looking at how well Aquaman did despite good, but still mixed reviews based solely on the charisma of the lead actor, this is supposed to be a well done story.

[A-Tex Devil 2446]

I’ve met Zac Levi a couple of times (he actually has a place in Bastrop).  Dude is earnest to a fault.   Would be awesome to see this launch him into a larger career.  

[llanoflash 151]

any surly reviews on this yet?

Seeing tonight, I hope...so will report back.

[Red Five 40854]

I bet you hate it.

[smuggs 9353]

I wish we could mic-up and put a GoPro on Drew for the movie. The footage would be fascinating.

I really enjoyed Chuck and his sincerity was a large part of the reason.

Ok, I might have enjoyed watching Yvonne Strahovski even more...

In Killeen?  You'll get a kick out of it.  People are crazy at these movies.

I'm going at 5.  I mean jesus...chances are I'll at worst like it. It's a Comic book movie, and the reviews so far are glowing...saying the best DC movie by far(Sorry WW and Aquaman). So yeah, it's probably going to be a good movie if not really good. 

Not sure how I got this wrap.

Well, you did like Suicide Squad

[Drew 2405]

Well, you did like Suicide Squad

Because it was a fun movie. All the plot gripes were stupid to me because I didn’t care. Got to see Margo Robbie looking hot. That’s good enough.

And yes Shazam was good. It’s not The Dark Knight. But was better than Aquaman and al the Justice league lead in movies. I’m sure some feminists will still prefer Wonder Woman but I wouldn’t.

Mark Strong is good in this. It’s probably as good as a middle upper tier Marvel Movie.
