Billy Batson is amazing as he longs for his mother, and goes on a search hunt to find his mother, and as the other version of the character and the outcome of Shazam, Zachary Levi impresses with his superpower display presented in a humorous way. Djimon Hounsou is impactful as the wizard, and the rest of the cast is about adequate.
Background score by Benjamin Wallfisch is scintillating, and the cinematography by Maxime Alexandre captures the visual grandeur in all glory. Editing by Michel Aller is also taut and makes the movie crisp. Visual effects deserve special applause. The movie is technically solid and it has no flaws. DC has decided to step out of the dark tone and that was obvious since Wonder Woman. Later, Aquaman proved it and now 'Shazam' follows it
Director David Sandberg begins the movie establishing the origin of Shazam with fun-filled episodes and presents the kid version in all glory portraying the enthusiasm, fun, emotions and then in the contrasting opposite Shazam episodes laces humor throughout and thoroughly entertains. Both Zachary Levi and Asher Angel amaze in their acts, and the antagonists are also designed in such a way as to evoke laughter. With a breezy first half and the stunning second half with visual grandeur and fun elements perfectly added, Shazam is a perfect entertainer for the weekend.
