for you okay
we just got back from the premiere of a movie called Shazam and for the sake of
the children I'm not gonna trash the movie but James what is missing from
this DC poster and this is for all you DC fanboys that's where I'm a Marvel fan
boy this is a DC poster but what's missing right this so there's an
official DC poster and they've put the important heroes and the important
villains on it you've got Green Lantern Superman Batman yeah they even have
Batgirl damn but no Shazam why would that be you're about to find out in this
video
what's good YouTube you're in the building with y'all northern living out
feeling I'll see y'all powerful damn wall everything insects exhale post we
just got that but my man James y'all know how my co-host for so long yeah I'm
seeing the premiere of Shazam it drops in two weeks and we have got to talk
about that piece of crap but stop I gotta put on my plus seven glasses of
movie reviewing sexy as hell because I'm working on skill of my craft whenever we
have guests I'll let them start out let me just give you all what the movie is
about it's about Shazam superhero that's owned by DC who gets his powers from a
wizard and this particular movie is set up with him getting his powers learning
how to navigate his powers and they go through his backstory this is his origin
story stars Zachary Levi it is directed by David elf Samberg good little cast
and some surprises Jane's first reactions I didn't hate it so it's I
don't think I was the target audience that's a good point and I'm not sure you
were either no I'm not definitely but I got some genuine laughs out of it it was
not a waste of two hours I genuinely laughed at a few moments but I don't
think I was the target audience by any stretch no and we're not gonna
completely spoil it for you because we know some people haven't mostly you
haven't seen it yet because it's not released yet but however we are gonna
set the groundwork for you to understand what is going on in this movie as he
said this movie was not for anyone who's above the age of 15 years under this
movie was set for children if you are an adult that loves comics you're gonna
think that this movie has more of a after school medley feel to it like it
should be something that comes on at 4:30 p.m.
before Sesame Street but a little after Nicktoons that's what you gonna
feel from this movie I was just thinking that that like I feel like this should
be something that Nickelodeon advertises for two months that on this day tune in
with the family to watch this movie and that's really what it felt like right
that now you will see there's gonna be a lot of Easter eggs you heard it on this
channel first there's going to be a Black Adam Easter egg you're gonna have
a Superman Easter egg in this movie and there's a Captain Marvel Easter Egg as
they're uploading Shazam's powers to YouTube and you caught that I miss that
entirely I there was a lot happening on the screen sometimes right you know they
were kind of rushing through stuff again it's it was a movie let's talk about the
fans being taught the pace Nonna's movie is terrible
very very yeah from the beginning the all parts drag there were times where I
just started adjusting my seat because it was far more entertaining right there
are people that you're gonna see in there falling asleep if you above the
age of 15 the acting was okay there wasn't any Oscar winners that are
gonna come from this movie the big surprise that they don't show you in the
trailers is that Shazam has all these various powers from the gods strength
speed lightning in the end Morse exams are going to pop up using those
individual powers that's something you didn't see in the trailers I'm not gonna
spoil all that happens but be on the lookout for that and speaking of the
acting understand that one of the underlying things with Shazam is he's a
kid who gets these powers becomes an adult all that so you're gonna be
dealing with a lot of kids kids in school and all that kids are not great
actors so you you have to take a lot of it with a grain of salt but is you know
kids are not great actors and then some of them were had parts written for them
that were awful the part that stuck out to me the most
was the bullies there are bullies in this movie where
and that's fine every movie with kids has bullies we've seen before but what
was the last time you saw a movie with bullies who hit a kid with a truck yeah
man they got out and started beating him up for being hit by a truck not only did
they hit him with a truck but this kid is crippled he's using a cane you hit a
kid who has a disability with a truck full speed and you get out and beat them
up there's no recompense for it other than
one little thing that we're not going to spoil for you very very disappointed by
this as an adult but as he said for your kids you'll enjoy it and you know on the
upside I got some genuine laughs out of it I think I've said that before but
yeah but that leads us into a good point this felt more like a forced comedy than
a comic book man yes because it did have some funny
points but there was a whole lot of forced comedy in here as well and when
you think of DC you typically think of DC being the more adult comic fashion
the more risque common fashion this movie goes in the complete opposite
direction and that's not to say that everything was cheesy this movie is full
of a lot of cheese wait till you hear the music they play for the bad guy
James do you remember the bad guy's name not at all I think they said it once
that they're getting in the movie maybe but no we left there the universe have
any idea who the bad guy was yes the bad guy got the stanza sylvania whatever his
name was he's a very unassuming villian he
doesn't create a dynamic between the villain and a superhero that's going to
enthrall you at all the meet and tables of your story is Billy Batson or Shazam
search you for his real mother which with that just kind of stopped I mean
that was such a letdown of an end of a major storyline this plays into a lot of
what he does as he's looking for his mother I mean you can imagine moving
where somebody's looking for their mother eventually they're gonna find it
I don't drive it's even a spoiler at this right
not spoiler but what an anti climactic ending to that highly so highly saw and
I felt like like there should be something else should happen after they
leave that and it never did like yeah no that was that was grossly underwhelming
and then we have to talk about the CGI they use for the deadly sigh there y'all
remember doomsday from Batman vs Superman picture seven of those remix
with four eyes some of them have four arms and long fingernails you know what
it reminds me of I just thought of it the first Ghostbusters movie yeah yeah
yeah dogs yeah the dogs from ghost magic that's like that nobody lookin six seven
of those yeah and they are one of the bad guys yeah man or in that's as nice
as it look like it what it looked like them is what it still looks like now so
ladies and gentlemen overall we're gonna had to rate this movie James what would
you rate it speaking for me yeah I see I did laughs I did get bored and I don't
know who they were advertising this to write but you I want to scale I rate my
scale from zero to ten tire in the best I'm gonna give this movie a five point
five on the life game scale okay five point five best I can go for the
children oh oh okay ten-year-old me yeah a - oh
yeah yeah they're old me yeah oh ten year old me loved this movie and
I look forward to taking my son to see it and I look forward to buying him the
Shazam t-shirt afterwards and watching him pretend to be Shazam ten-year-old me
loved it my ten year olds gonna love it your tenure over left now if it was
fifteen year old me I want to love this movie because I would have took a girl I
was trying to hit on there so I could try to make out whether the whole movie
that's what I would have done for this movie and that's gonna do it but this
life - Shazam event review if you've got kids take them to see it oh you are a
comic book adult please wait just you - trust me wait have I let y'all down
before and can we touch on one more thing go for it
things happen things go wrong I get it but if you're going to make a movie that
you plan to release at Christmas oh god you have to release it at
Christmas Santa Claus he doesn't just appear in this book he
is throughout this movie they play Christmas carols not just one throughout
the movie yeah we are in the mall many times that's decorated for Christmas
they don't just like reference Christmas once it is every five minutes there's a
reference to it being Christmas not to mention there was a point in the movie
with Santa Claus steals a microphone and says a bad word he does so if you're
gonna make it towards Christmas you can't release it in April April yeah
this was this was distractingly Christmas it was it was all about
Christie and if it had come out in late November or you know dare I say
Christmas Christmas it would have been fine but it's gonna be April yeah again
take your kids oh yeah take your grandbabies but or enjoy it when it come
out comes out on TBS yeah well not maybe that late wait wait for the hit on
Netflix or your favorite stream either yes whatever the case may be we might
come back and do a spoiler review I might go ahead and do an easter egg
