Shazam! (2019)

Atrocious.
Hugely derivative (Jon Glover as the villain's arsehole dad from Heroes and Smallville, the punk song/school book doodles end credits from Spider-Man Homecoming, the 'test out powers on home camera with a friend' from Heroes, a Don't Stop Me Now montage from every film since Shaun Of The Dead), an utterly bland villain, a structure that crams as much backstory as it can into the first half hour then spends 90 minutes doing nothing, and a dour, depressing tone that jars massively with Zach Levi's mugging and the occasional 'comedy' scene.
Rating: Awful
