I have never been a fan of the DCEU in the slightest; I think it's always been rushed in an attempt to match Marvel, and quite frankly the movies have been awful to tolerable. Shazam, on the other hand, is a much better entry. It is not taking itself overly seriously. It's a good family movie with some laughs, some nice plot points and storytelling, some lighthearted action, and it is an enjoyable watch for the most part. It's a lot better than much of what DC has offered, but is still nothing exceptional. It's just a bang average pretty entertaining superhero movie. I could nitpick, but I don't think it's a movie to be taken too seriously or to review in too much detail. I thought the CGI-fest climax really dragged down the ending of the movie. It's pretty entertaining, not spectacular but not egregiously bad.
