Planning To Watch ‘Shazam!’ This Weekend? Then Read These 20 Tweet Reviews First

It’s safe to say now that the DCEU’s bad days are officially over. After some abysmal entries, they’ve bounced back with the Gal Gadot-led ‘Wonder Woman’ and James Wan’s magnum opus ‘Aquaman‘. And it looks like they’re going to continue this successful streak with ‘Shazam!’.

The movie is directed by David F. Sandberg and features Zachary Levi and Mark Strong. The story revolves around the character of Billy Batson who’s blessed by a wizard to turn into a superhero upon saying “Shazam”. However, the evil Dr Sivana is after him to take away his powers.

It was apparent from the trailers that ‘Shazam!’ will be a departure from DC’s trademark dark tone. But going by the opening day reactions, people are loving this fun and refreshing take on the superhero sub-genre.

It’s too early to say how successful ‘Shazam!’ will turn out to be. But if it does bring in the big bucks, David F. Sandberg will become an icon for all those budding filmmakers who are making short films and uploading them on YouTube. And of course, it will allow a lot of fans to reject the myth of superhero fatigue.
