Everything that SHAZAM should have been...but wasn't.

Rating: 10/10 (6 April 2019)

This movie was action-packed from beginning to end. SHAZAM wasn't.
The action was nicely balanced by suspense. SHAZAM wasn't.
The comedy relief was genuinely funny without being needlessly self-parodic. SHAZAM wasn't.
Brie Larson as Carol Danvers kicked butt almost from the start. Billy Batson didn't.
Djimon Hounsou, as Korath, kicked butt almost from the start. Djimon Hounsou, as elderly wizard Shazam, didn't.
And Goose, as the flerkin, was just so irresistibly cute! Mr. Mind, at the tail end of SHAZAM, wasn't.
In short? The money you were thinking of spending on SHAZAM? Spend it on on this film, instead. For the first time, if you haven't seen it, yet. And, if you have? It's definitely worth an encore attendance (like the one I just got back from)!
