Dr Ro SmithYesssss - the first super-beings we see are older women: Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu!!
Annoying we had a fakeout where the museum dude assumes they are men because they're wearing armour and helmets, but at least the armour is practical! #Shazam2
Loving the petrification - brutal. #Shazam2
Zachary Levy carries this off the way no one else could. These lines from any other actor would have me feel SO much second-hand embarrassment. #Shazam2
'Unicorns aren't real,' - there's totally gonna be a unicorn later (possibly multiple) isn't there? #Shazam2
The foster parents are so dang cute. I love them. #Shazam2
KITTENS!!! - I don't know any of their names, but youngest sister superhero is so cute too. And I would so save the kittens first as well! #Shazam2
The kiddified lair is great. #Shazam2
Yeah, the school-girl-love-interest for Freddie isn't quite gelling, but I like the idea behind it. She's just too Shiny #Shazam2
OK, the 'We Couldn't Afford Actual Wonder Woman' bit doesn't really work #Shazam2
OK, it was a dream, but still...
Oh no, love-interest is one of the daughters of Atlas in disguise, isn't she? #Shazam2
'What's ComicCon?'
'What?'
LOL, oh no. #Shazam2
'Solo Man' - lol! #Shazam2
:( An-thea (I was right! :D ) #Shazam2
The Lucy Liu Goddess is so cool/sinister. Like Woah. #Shazam2
On the bright side, Anthea has become a much more interesting character. But the acting is still not that great.
The contrast to Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu is unfortunate.
(Lucy Liu is ON FIRE.)
I dislike that it's the disabled dude who is imperilled and depowered first. I'm guessing they want to Show He's Powerful Without His Powers, but let disabled people have fun, damn it! #Shazam2
'balls' is a sexist fucking term for courage. Just say 'guts! :-///////
OK, time for my stupid rest break. More film later...
Been watching again for a while now, but just enjoying it, tbh. Superhero team movies aimed at adults could learn a lot from this. #Shazam2
Awwww, Pedro's gay - that was really sweet. #Shazam2
And the dragon's pretty cool! #Shazam2
Lucy Liu riding a Dragon of Fear is pretty damn awesome. #Shazam2
I hate that all the women are wearing wedge heels.
It's like they noticed we hated them putting women heroes in high heels and just... tried to hide it?
Like, no, it still doesn't make any sense. It looks painful, and it's not fair on the actors! #Shazam2
TBH, I would run the moment I saw a manticore's stinger. #Shazam2
Bahahaha - I was right about the unicorn! #Shazam2
'Taste the Rainbow' is kind of painful product placement, but I LOVE that Darla's optimism and love for unicorns is not shattered the way everyone tells her it will be.
The innocent young girl *does* befriend the unicorn, but it has nothing to do with virginity. #Shazam2
'A true god, after all.' - Perfectly delivered line from Helen Mirren. I love that she brought her A game to this silly film.
Although when I say 'silly' it's silly with intent. #Shazam2
Ahahahahaha - WW! Pefection!!
I enjoyed that. A little rocky in places, but overall, not a bad little film. I think I would have ADORED it as a kid.
Bahahahaha - THE AVENGER SOCIETY.
