Lools fun. Suit is on the bad side but s a small gripe for me.

Lock Jaw 07-21-2018 05:58 PM

Looks good! I hope it actually does end up being good!

Too bad DC doesn't own the name Captain Marvel instead of Marvel..... because this character will always be Captain Marvel to me......

Destor 07-21-2018 06:02 PM

Its Captain Marvel to me as well but Shazam is fine. I'll live with it.

Lock Jaw 07-21-2018 06:06 PM

Yeah, I'll live with it, and have been living with it for pretty much over a decade...... just making meaningless wishes and what-ifs.......

Could be wrong, but I think its intentionally cheesy looking, given the context of the story.

Destor 07-21-2018 07:55 PM

If its intentional they nailed it. Doesnt make me like it any better though.

Lock Jaw 07-21-2018 08:11 PM

I think it looks good

slik 07-21-2018 08:23 PM

Looks great!

Frank Drebin 07-21-2018 11:01 PM

Is this the sequel to Kazaam?

Lock Jaw 07-21-2018 11:12 PM

No. No, it is not.

Ezra 07-22-2018 02:04 AM

Hot damn this looks good.

Frank Drebin 07-22-2018 02:16 AM

Did Shaq die off screen like Newt and Hicks in Alien 3? Why isn't he in the trailer?

rez 07-22-2018 08:17 AM

Looks more like a Marvel movie..in a good way. DC going back to basics?

Damian Rey 2.0 07-22-2018 04:33 PM

This looks.....different? I dunno. Not as soldon it as I was hoping. It looks goofy. Like, too goofy. But we'll see. I'm hoping it's good. D.C. needs a boost after BVS and JL sucking hard.

Aquaman to end the year, then this and Wonder Woman next year. Hopefully it's a positive step for them. At least it's not super serious super dark business

Destor 07-22-2018 05:09 PM

Proving they can hit more than one note is key for DC right now

Seanny One Ball 07-22-2018 05:21 PM

Filming a character in the spirit with which the comics were written would be a great start.

Damian Rey 2.0 07-22-2018 05:25 PM

No idea how Shazam is presented in the comics. Does this look accurate?

Seanny One Ball 07-22-2018 05:30 PM

I have no idea :lol:

Shazam is not a grimdark character at all

I don't think he'd be in the this film but if there is a sequel I'm hoping they include Shazam's pal Tawky Tawny.

Dad-pool

Seanny One Ball 01-20-2019 04:02 PM

I hope I said that before any critics get in there with it.

slik 01-20-2019 04:13 PM

That transition where he jumps off the building and gets hit by lighting/turns to Shazam is pretty sweet.

Seanny One Ball 01-20-2019 04:35 PM

It all looks great. I'm surprised because it honestly looks to be the best DC movie by a fair way and I bet, like me, the general public knows/knew nothing about the character until now.

Lock Jaw 01-20-2019 05:01 PM

I am hoping it can be as good as Aquaman and continue an upward trend for DC

Ezra 01-20-2019 06:32 PM

This year is gonna be so packed with movies.

Seanny One Ball 01-20-2019 07:28 PM

What a thing to say

Seanny One Ball 03-04-2019 05:55 PM

It looks genuinely delightful.

slik 03-04-2019 05:59 PM

Really looking forward to this

Rammsteinmad 03-05-2019 07:06 AM

Is this in the DCEU?

Rammsteinmad 03-05-2019 07:09 AM

And agreed, this looks fun. The bit at the end of the trailer where he attempts to jump over the building and crashes through the window made me chuckle. Possibly the first time I've ever found something from a DC trailer funny.

Kalyx triaD 03-05-2019 08:07 AM

Yeah it's DCEU. One of the last maybe.

slik 03-05-2019 09:56 AM

Not one of the last at all.


They just aren't going to focus on them all being connected in the future as much and focus more on each movie. Sequel for Aquaman announced for a couple years down the road, Wondy sequel comes out this year, Flash film still likely too. Birds of Prey filming. Bats will be a story about young Bats and Suicide Squad will be a different cast of characters than the first film using a James Gunn script.

Kalyx triaD 03-05-2019 11:58 AM

The DCEU was supposed to be essentially their MCU. If they're not sharing canon it is not a coherent universe which only works in that sense. Call it what they want ("World of DC" or whatever) but the DCEU as advertised is about dead without some effort to create a living universe. They're still making movies of course and certain characters will splinter off into their own canon which is fine - but DCEU is done.

Seanny One Ball 03-05-2019 12:11 PM

I think they'll just be happy to have a couple of not-shit films tbh

Kalyx triaD 03-05-2019 12:58 PM

At this point yeah. Fortunately Aquaman was good and Shazam seems enjoyable so far. WW84 should be cool. I sincerely hope Birds of Prey is good.

Seanny One Ball 03-05-2019 01:20 PM

Will be weird if Shazam is DC's best film. Then Marvel can suggest DC had to take a character who should be called Marvel to do it.

I need to find out when Aquaman is released for home entertainment, brb

Seanny One Ball 03-05-2019 01:22 PM

Released today for D/L and the 26th for home entertainment.

Lock Jaw 03-05-2019 01:51 PM

Will maybe purchase Aquaman when it comes out.... rarely ever purchase movies....

Seanny One Ball 03-05-2019 03:15 PM

Oh right, good for you...?

Seanny One Ball 03-05-2019 03:16 PM

I mean you say these things but it's just The Last Samurai time and time again.

No follow through.

Lock Jaw 03-05-2019 04:52 PM

Hey man, I watched that movie a few months ago.... I didn't buy it, but..... etc

Last physical movie I bought was Justice League

Seanny One Ball 03-05-2019 05:42 PM

How's that holding up for you?

Lock Jaw 03-05-2019 06:47 PM

Watched it a few times, still enjoyed it, and now it is sitting on a shelf.

Seanny One Ball 03-05-2019 06:59 PM

Yeah me too. Ezra Miller holds that flimsy fucker together. I hope he gets another shot as Flash.

slik 03-08-2019 01:16 PM

Social Media Embargo has lifted for Shazam and it's overwhelmingly positive, many calling it the best/2nd best movie DC has ever made.

Seanny One Ball 03-08-2019 01:59 PM

I bet it is the best. It appears to have some extra humanity thrown in for good measure.

slik 03-08-2019 04:55 PM

That depends if you are counting The Dark Knight or not.

slik 03-08-2019 04:55 PM

Wait you probably hate The Dark Knight via being Seanny One Ball...

Seanny One Ball 03-08-2019 05:14 PM

I don't know where you'd get that idea from.
I'm a pretty big Batman, Bale and Nolan fan separately so having the all together was a pretty big deal.

Fignuts 03-11-2019 10:59 PM

The Dark Knight is nowhere even close to my favorite superhero movie. Because it’s not really a superhero movie. It’s a crime drama with superhero elements.

I absolutely respect the quality of the film, and the performances within it, but when it it comes to superhero movies I love it when it’s literally what’s on the page, come to life. That’s not what the Nolan trilogy is.

Seanny One Ball 03-12-2019 11:12 AM

Came closer than anybody else has

slik 03-24-2019 02:32 AM

It had 100% on Rotten Tomatoes earlier but has now leveled around 93%

Is this the one where Sinbad plays a Genie?

Seanny One Ball 03-25-2019 07:26 PM

My cousin had the book of Kazaam with a big picture of Shaq on the cover.

The book of Kazaam... I mean come on... It was like 50 pages long in large print.

That's how I know Mandela didn't get to me, I'll never forget the day I saw that book. I was immediately drowning in unanswerable questions.

dronepool 03-26-2019 09:26 PM

Saw it Saturday. My favorite DCEU movie. The most fun I've had watching a DC film in theaters.

Seanny One Ball 03-27-2019 11:52 AM

Fuck yeah
