Reviews

priyankerrao I did not think THIS would be so good. It's coming from a guy that didn't like Red Hood, which people consider the best of DC animated films. I never found it interesting at all. But this got me!! The very first scene with Billy wearing Superman shirt and feeding the rats. Moments like these are completely lost in ANY films today. The writing is seriously amazing!! And kudos to the voiceover too. Billy had an amazing voice. And it was funny as hell. When he was in the middle of the sky celebrating his sky and accidentally says Shazam and falls into the sea. Wonderful!!And then there was other dialogue by Black Adam questioning what god like powers truly means and symbolism with us and ants. IT's simple but it GOT ME.I hope David F Sandberg, the director of Shazam 2019 has seen this movie and it would be the best thing if he takes ideas and how the character of Billy should be and puts it into his movie!! More power to DC!!

Platypuschow This DC Showcase short is a tad longer than the rest, it stands at around 25 minutes and is about Billy Batsons rise to become the superhero known as Captain Marvel.We see Superman jump in and save young Billy from Black Adam, but my biggest complaint is that this is a big story and 25 minutes simply doesn't suffice.Alike the other showcases this is very well animated, has a great voice cast and is well written. Sadly it all feels rushed and I struggled to get into it.Well worth a watch for fans of the DC Showcase shorts, but I feel it was a bit underwhelming.The Good:Well animatedThe Bad:Story is simply too big for 25 minutesThings I Learnt From This Movie:This has actually made me want a live action Shazam movie, but I fear I'll regret saying that

adonis98-743-186503 Superman finds a foe who may be too powerful even for him to defeat in the murderous Black Adam. Fortunately, Black Adam's real target is the Earth's Mightiest Mortal--Captain Marvel who is actually a little kid with the super power to grow up and become the hero Captain Marvel that kid is called Billy Batson. This 25 minutes short has almost the same amount of damage that Man of Steel had after Black Adam (Arnold Voslo) arrives in earth to find Billy things go messed up and Superman gets caught in the middle and he gets his ass whipped a lot of times during this short film. Also the cast is pretty nice the voices are very well done and the action is handled very well done also but the film also has important messages about Bullying so that's a good thing always.

Rectangular_businessman This an excellent animated short. Almost perfect, in my opinion.Not only the animation was incredibly good (With a high level of detail and very good designs) but the plot was very funny and enjoyable, going directly to the point, without adding any kind of distraction or filler material.And yet, it somehow doesn't feel rushed or incomplete in any way: In fact, I think that the final result was something more satisfying than most of the other animated films based on DC Comics from the recent years, While "Superman/Shazam!: The Return of Black Adam" capture the essence of some classic comic book stories, it is done in such a dynamic and interesting way that it can be easily enjoyed by modern viewers.This was pure fun, from beginning to end.
