and I don't mean fun in a Marvel Cinematic Universe type way with overbearing quips every two minutes
thank you so much!
it felt different in Shazam! because it was mostly coming from kids trying to be cool and say cliche superhero lines. where else in a mcu film, these are grown adultsGood review. I mostly agree with the takeaways. Except this:
The movie bombards you with quips and jokes. I love the style so I enjoyed it, but it absolutely that style of thing.
lolAquaman, all exceeding in certain aspects of joyful entertainment, but ultimately a letdown to a mixed bag at best.

I guess, but in essence it's the same style of storytelling. And it's gonna come mostly from kids when almost all of the main cast is kids. But even the two parent characters have their share of quips and jokes.
To be honest, most of the jokes felt flat to me. I enjoyed the interactions, but I wasn't really laughing. Shazam! had a lot more heart in its story apart from the constant jokes/quips. In Marvel movies it was more noticeable to me, but I was more focused on the story here.
It really did. I thought all the sincerity and heart originated from the foster parents to be honest. Those two did a tremendous job with their limited screen time.To be honest, most of the jokes felt flat to me. I enjoyed the interactions, but I wasn't really laughing.

That's surprising to me. Not because you didn't find the jokes landing, but because the film still worked for you in spite of that. While I loved the jokes, I think the film places a lot of weight on them to establish the family dynamic. I don't really think it would have worked for me if the humor fell flat.

Are you joking with this? I honestly can't tell.One thing I really really did not like was the transformation. It was like hey being yourself is not cool. The best of you/hero inside looks nothing like you, but a someone else in a padded bodysuit.
It was ice cold. And it didn't feel enough like he bonded with his foster family to be able to do or say what he did.
MovieBob isn't always my favorite, but he nails it here. The movie is light and funny, but it never uses that to the away from the trauma or pain the characters experience.

YeahI thought that was a bit weird too. Everyone else got a moment during that part but her.

Glen Weldon, who knows his comics, has a review up.

I don't think this is a particularly GOOD review, but I think the person has best articulated the whole DC Dark, Marvel light conversation. Especially with the note about how folks say that going into Endgame.
