The days when DC superheroes weren’t allowed to have fun are now officially behind us, as Shazam! follows Aquaman into theaters, bringing a new, brighter, funnier era of the DCEU with them. Our critics Ignatiy Vishnevetsky notes that Shazam! is “directed not only at actual kids of a certain age, but also at the inner 10-year-olds of grown-up viewers raised on ’80s hits” in his review of the movie, adding that, while the movie ends up being a reliably overstuffed modern blockbuster, “what is often the most businesslike part of a superhero origin story—establishing the hero’s powers—ends up becoming the most entertaining part of Shazam!, carried along by [star Zachary] Levi’s fidgety, boyish charm.”
