SHAZAM!

YOU ALL KNEW THIS WAS COMING... OF COURSE IM GOING TO WRITE ABOUT SHAZAM! IF YOU ALL DONT KNOW ALREADY FROM MY POSTS BACK IN THE DAY, IM A HUGE CHUCK FAN. ZACHARY LEVI WAS THAT NERDY GEEKY GUY NEXT DOOR WHO TURNED INTO THE WORLDS GREATEST SPY CAUSE BASICALLY ALL THE GOVERNMENTS SECRET AND A COMPUTER WAS DOWNLOADED INTO HIS BRAIN. ALSO HES ABLE TO DO A BUNCH OF OTHER KICK ASS THINGS. ALSO ALSO NOT TO MENTION YVONNE STRAHOVSKI WAS ON IT. WELL ADAM BALDWIN WAS ON IT TOO BUT... ANYWAYS BACK ON TOPIC. I NEVER REALLY FOLLOWED SHAZAM, BUT I DO KNOW THE JIST OF IT AND WHATEVER ELSE I DO KNOW ABOUT HIM IS FROM WHAT I SEE AROUND AND FROM SUPERMAN OR JUSTICE LEAGUE OR WHATEVER ELSE HE POPS UP IN. THIS IS AN ORIGIN MOVIE AND STARS ZACHARY LEVI, ASHER ANGEL, MARK STRONG, DJIMON HOUNSOU, AND A COUPLE OTHER KIDS AND ALL. OH OH OH JOHN GLOVER MAKES AN APPEARANCE AND HE HASNT REALLY AGED SINCE SMALLVILLE...WHICH IS WEIRD BECAUSE HES REALLY OLD AND WAS OLD ON SMALLVILLE ALREADY LOL. ANYWAYS THE STORY FOLLOWS A KID WHO THROUGH A WIZARD GAINS THE POWER TO TRANSFORM INTO A SUPERHERO, AN ADULT SUPERHERO. SO HE LITERALLY AGES LIKE 10 YEARS AND TRANSFORM INTO A SUPER BUFF HERO. THEN HE FIGHTS PEOPLE AND SO ON AND SO ON WHILE TRYING TO KEEP HIS IDENTITY A SECRET. I REMEMBER HE HAS A BUNCH OF RUN INS WITH SUPERMAN AND BATMAN AND THEY BOTH THINK HES SORTA WEIRD BECAUSE OF THE WAY HE ACTS AND TALKS, BUT MAKES SENSE IF HES ACTUALLY LIKE 15 AND NOT 25 OR WHATEVER. THERES BEEN A BUNCH OF TIMES THEY ALSO FOUGHT ALONG EACH OTHER. LIKE I SAID, I NEVER FOLLOWED IT HARD. OH FOR SOME REASON I THOUGH MARK STRONG WAS STANLEY TUCCI... NO IDEA WHY I DID... THATS JUST A SIDENOTE. THERES OTHER STUFF IN THE MOVIE THAT I WANT TO DISCUSS BUT IMA LEAVE THAT CAUSE I DONT WANT TO SPOIL IT FOR ANYONE. THERES ALSO SOME POST CREDIT SHOTS BUT MIGHT AS WELL LEAVE IT FOR YOU TO WATCH YOURSELVES AS WELL. THE ONE THING I WILL SAY IS I WONDER WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THAT SINCE MOVING FORWARD ITS NOT YOU KNOW WHAT. SOME OF YOU MIGHT GET IT AND MOST PROBABLY WILL NOT SO THATS OK. LEVI DID A GOOD JOB IN THIS MOVIE, I LIKED IT AND HE PLAYED THE CHARACTER WELL. I REMEMBER WATCHING SOME DIRECTOR AND PRODUCER INTERVIEWS AND THEY SAID THEY AUDITIONED LIKE 150 PEOPLE FOR SHAZAM AND LEVI WAS THE ONE THAT STOOD OUT AND THEY JUST KNEW IT HAD TO BE HIM. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THEM. MAYBE THEY HAVE SEEN CHUCK, MAYBE NOT, BUT LEVI JUST HAS THAT QUIRKYNESS ABOUT HIM THAT MAKES THE CHARACTER WORK. THE CHARACTER NEEDS THAT IMMATURITY TO HIM BECAUSE OF HIS AGE. ONE THING I WILL SAY IS THAT HE BULKED UP HARD! GOING FROM SKINNY TECH WORKER TO BUFF SUPERHERO WAS CRAZY. THERE IS ONE THING I WANT TO KNOW IS HOW MUCH PADDING IS THERE FOR THE COSTUME. YOU CAN TELL ITS PADDED BUT I WONDER HOW MUCH. THERES JUST NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT THAT, ALL COSTUMES PAD, THATS HOW THEY LOOK SO CRAZY AND MORE COMPARABLE AND TRUE TO THE COMICS. I MEAN... THE ACTORS CAN ONLY GET SO BIG LOL. I ALSO WONDER WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE TWO ACTORS TRYING TO PRETEND ITS THE SAME PERSON. ANOTHER DC MOVIE IN THE BOOKS. I LIKED THE MOVIE, ITS NOT LIKE MARVEL HOW THEY WOULD HAVE TO PUT SOME KIND OF JOKE IN AND YOU KNOW ITS COMING TOO... THIS FELT MORE GENUINE. IT TOOK SO LONG FOR THIS MOVIE TO FINALLY MAKE IT OUT, I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE IN STORE NEXT FOR THIS. OH YA AND HOW ABOUT THAT WHOLE CAPTAIN MARVEL AND MS MARVEL THING THATS BEEN GOING ON FOR DECADES... THAT CONFUSED ME EVEN BACK IN THE DAY. ANYWAYS, I LIKED THE MOVIE, I GIVE IT A SOLID 8.2/10.

I HAVE SO MANY REAL TOPICS TO WRITE ABOUT BUT I HAD TO WRITE THIS. ITS TOO GOOD NOT TO. THERES GOING TO BE ONE MORE MOVIE REVIEW COMING UP SOON AND IM SURE YOU ALL KNOW WHAT ITS FOR. I ALREADY HAVE TICKETS FOR IT TOO. CANT WAIT FOR THAT EPICNESS.
