I had no idea, that Shazam existed and even was a superhero in the DC Universe. And after this movie, I will not follow his career any further!

This is not to say, the movie was not entertaining- it just doesn't know, what it wants to be! It has some really funny moments...but it is not a good comedy, because it takes itself and the superhero- idea way too serious! For the same reason, it can also not be classified as a parody! But for a true superhero- movie, it is way too childish! I really welcome the breaking away of DC from the darkness and and nitty- gritty of some of it's movies, but this is just a step too far! In the end, Shazam is neither meat nor bone. Not the worst DC- movie, but also not a really good one!
