We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson's case, by shouting out one word - SHAZAM! - this streetwise fourteen-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult superhero Shazam.
This movie was actualy very good though the story of how he got his powers is very stupid. Though it would be cool to have superpowers I don't think you're supposed to show off your powers. That's the whole point of secret idenity. That's also what I was really annoyed about. He just walked around while his foster brother is saying his name,showing off his powers and saying stuff like "Oh hey I'm a superhero". It's very opposite of what a superhero does and pretty much ruins the whole secret idenity rule. Especially when he almost told his one foster sister and had already told the younger one. I didn't really like the bad guy that much. The seven deadly sins and a glowy eye orb thing. All he wanted ws the superhero power for himself. Which also feels like that's all the bad guys goals in like every superhero thing ever. A bad guy wants to do something so thier first move is to take their power fro the heroes. Are they that lazy to come up with a new plan to beat the hero? I mean they are supposed to be evil geniuses right? This movie was also funny and everytime Zachary Levi panicked it kind of reminded me of Chuck. This is a good movie to see but make sure you stay for the two credit scenes. If you don't then you're definitely missing out. This movie turned out better than I thought it was though the beginning was confusing me. It starts off thundering but it's snowing and they never explained why the dad and the brother hated the kid. It was them just hating on him but he didn't do anything. I wasn't a big fan of Billy's birth mom either. She was a big jerk.
