First of all for anyone that didn't get the name: S.H.A.Z.A.M. = Solomon (for the Wisdom of Solomon), Hercules (for the Strength of Hercules), Atlas (for the Stamina of Atlas), Zeus (for the Power of Zeus), Achilles (for the Courage of Achilles) and Mercury (for the Speed of Mercury).

I am a huge hero fan but I don't know a lot about Shazam. The movie seems to show the origin of Shazam and the Shazam Family of heroes. It covers The New 52 which is the new DC revamp following the conclusion of the "Flashpoint" crossover storyline.

The movie was extremely boring with very little action.Just getting frustrated by a self centred annoying kid. In Captain Marvel we had a similar story, focusing on the character, however at the end of the movie Captain Marvel showed her true powers. In Shazam you keep waiting for that moment, and it never happens. He beats the villain by tricking him.

I am not sure if the comics are the same, an immature 15 year old without any common sense. For someone with the wisdom of Solomon and the courage of Achilles.... he really didn't display either during the 2 hours and a bit.

Again, if this depicts the comics and how the character behaved in them, great, they did an amazing job. For me this was the weakest Superhero movie I have seen in the last two decades. I am hoping that we will see him in the next Justice League movie, if there is one, matching Superman.
