Shazam!
RONDEzvue
The trailer looks good. The costume looks bad though
NarutoSexyJutsu
I quite enjoy Zachary Levi as an actor, so I’m hopeful! Just another person switching from acting in Marvel to the DC universe
SinisterSlaw
If Big were a superhero movie.
proracing53
InnerUniverse
I'm so excited to see Sinbad come back to the silver screen!
deadlyvenom354
After seeing the Shazam and aqua man trailers I have high hopes this is the turning point for dc :)
gintokityrell
Same!
WinnieSlays
If they don't have at least one scene where he flies as high as possible, turns into Billy, just to return to Shazam before he hits (1)
WinnieSlays
The ground, I'm going to be mad as Hell
Supernerdtastic
When the Rock was cast as BA I thought we might get Chocolate Egg Cream but apparently he's not in this. -__-
Lance2773
Zachery levy aka Chuck aka Shazam is my favorite actor so I'm ready for this movie good or bad
Ergand
For some reason every time I see his name I think "Zachary Quinto" and wonder why Sylar is playing Shazam.
Supernerdtastic
I can't think of a better actor to pull of family friendly kid in adult body so at least the casting is good.
Applepotamus
another reboot?!

Thatsnothowanyofthisworks
That's not how any of this works https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/sinbad-movie-shazaam/
Applepotamus
then explain this VHS i found that is totally real
hwatL4bloopy
ant man may be inconsistent with his abilities and stuff but it's really wholesome and i love it. Best Grandma Ever!
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
Bruh this is the first DCCU movie I am unabashedly excited for. It's a child in an adult's body. This should prove hilarious.
nomisgnos
It worked for Tom Hanks!
PanicAtTheCostco
Shazam looks good to me anybody care to explain why they think it will be bad? Casting doesn’t count. We haven’t even seen the movie yet.
Fishworshipper
Because DC can't be trusted with anything live-action.
PanicAtTheCostco
True
DukeDarkwood
I haven't been following it myself, but DC doesn't have a good track record with films lately (excepting Wonder Woman, I think).
PanicAtTheCostco
This is true. But honestly all those movies looked bad even from the trailer. Except suicide squad they fucking fooled everybody.
NomDeImguerre
They brought the fun. Never forget to bring the fun.
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
A child in a mans body? Why hasn't this been done before!
DukeDarkwood
Right? You'd think such a concept would be pretty Big.
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
Anyone that could pull it off would be capable of winning an oscar, maybe two
ThePlainDoll
I for one invite the lighter personality of this movie
RobJenkins
It's either 100% cocoa bitter bitter chocolate or a cupcake with 4 inches of frosting, no other choices with DC
KickassFactsCheck
...with WB. DC is only involved in the animated movies and live action TV shows.
RobJenkins
Fair point
Supernerdtastic
Yeah but in this case 4 inches of frosting is correct for the character :D
lochnessm0nster
At least they're doing something right.
causality
Not sure why but I don't like the actor's face.![]()
Sonicdahedgie
He's not exactly the chisled ubermensch Shazam is supposed to look like.
nonCanadianGoose
The irony that a clip from a Marvel movie was used to make this
BYERE
Yea, I noticed that too
kingbudo101
double irony is that shazam was called captain marvel
swatz
Yeah, CHUCK is a pretty good, goofy, pure heart, almost kick ass guy. Should do well at the role.
jrabbitmusic
itslikedejavualloveragain
numbonvalium
The trailer makes it look like New 52 Shazam, which I am fine with. New 52 has been mostly pretty good and might set a DCEU trend.
Sonicdahedgie
New 52 was notoriously hated by everyone and was already retconned.
numbonvalium
Pre-Flashpoint Shazam was better, but I like the New 52 as a whole, and I hope this movie succeeds to pull the DCEU in that direction.
Ryanator50
I'm glad it looks sorta light hearted. the idea of a little kid transforming into an adult superhero doesn't really work if it's all gritty.
OuchMouse
Fuck Batman
Mimsey
Counterpoint: Kingdom Come.
Keru
also Superman/Shazam: First Thunder
Sonicdahedgie
But it wasn't about Shazam. The specifically used Shazam being lombotomized to sell how dark shit had gotten.
Mimsey
But that ending. One of the best Shazams ever.
Ryanator50
shit, gotta find the rest of Kingdom Come now. Picked up a copy of the last few bits at a library once, never saw better comic art since.
ChrisMorray
And then you see Titans and die inside.
Mikeiller
Teen Titans Go to the Movies looks good though. "nah. pretty sure you're Deadpool"
JudgementalMan
Teen TItans Go has surprised me with how funny it can be.
ReJokeStatistics
"There was a Green Lantern Movie, but we don't talk about that"
TheScurvyWalnut
They're not connected though...
ChrisMorray
DC.
TheScurvyWalnut
Doesn't matter. That's like me saying Avengers and Inhumans are the same quality because they're the same company.
ChrisMorray
That's not what I'm saying at all. Sure, DC has made different quality movies and such but it's like comparing turds to diarreah, still shit
Supernerdtastic
And then Aquaman lands squarely between these extremes. I'm allowing a tinge of hope but I've been hurt by good trailers before.
WilfordBrimleysMustache
It just looks like it's going to be too much. I'm worried the story will be over-complicated and convoluted. I hope I'm wrong.
Supernerdtastic
Yeah, one villain is enough for the 'this is how I got here' story.
ChrisMorray
I'm split. On one hand: He finally looks like a badass. On the other: the CGI in the trailer looks pretty bad at the better moments
Supernerdtastic
CGI quality never makes or breaks a good plot for me. Why does it do that to you?
ChrisMorray
It doesn't. But I prefer seeing both good plot and good CGI over a movie with only one being good. Why not make it the best it can be?
Supernerdtastic
Fear = small budget = cut corners :/
AscendHyperion
Really, Shazam is the first DC movie I've been interested in since Suicide Squads
nolittleplans
Cause they made it more pop culture friendly. Played it safe which I hope pays out or it will become MCU and I don't want that
nexusband
Nah...the arrowverse is all I need, I still think all DC movies just suck. They are trying too hard...
tamirr
Didn't the main guy who shit on and cut everything dc leave to join Sony?
Kabe59
SS is tbe worst film I enjoyed completely.
overpolitemidwesterner
aquaman looked good too, they finally said screw it we can be wierd, our comics are and we should be too!
Cobaltios
I feel like both movies look good for different reasons. I'm fine with that.
overpolitemidwesterner
Agreed. They actually went for the comic styles and it looks good for both
joker305th
Aquaman strikes me as a movie you should probably see in 3D.
solvingproblemsbycreatingmoreproblems
You should watch it at a projected screen in the water on a beach like a Jaws screening
silverskeeter44
You mean oscar winning suicide squad
Supernerdtastic
Could you not *weeps
Davidnfilms
Oh wow, I forgot about that.
ViolentlyOfferingBeerToSheep
suicide can win you an oscar? holy shit
WoahMyDudeThatsCrazy
It was for make up
RealScienceMan
They honestly deserved it for the make up.
WhiteCollarOfficeJobs
Even if it's a bad movie, gotta give credit where it's due.
SemperFiZero
The marvel fan boys will never let people enjoy non marvel things.
somanywonders987
honestly, despite the downvotes, you're right. the anti-dc circlejerk is never ending. suicide squad was good, JL was fun.
kylefromterminator
hey I love marvel but shazam is awesome
TheDogEnd
The Batman Begins trilogy was extremely successful. People just like GOOD DC movies
warslinger
Yeah, cause if there's anything comic book fans hate, it'd be good superhero movies
tardis63
I think it's the DC filmmakers who aren't letting people enjoy non-Marvel things. I don't care about feuds, I just want to see a good movie
Valondra
You know that picture with the bike and the stick? That's DC, gimping itself and crying that Marvel did something. Just like both, jesus.
nolittleplans
It's a real shames cause from comic standpoint DC topples marvel like a California redwood staring at a weed. But the DCEU was rushed
SemperFiZero
Phoenix being Joker in the dark DC, aquaman and shazam are promising but marvel fuck boys just can't help but hate.
Valondra
I agree, and it is a waste of potential. Sure it would have been slower but Super Hero movies aren't going anywhere yet. They had time!
bitemark
Nah bro. I love both, buy I'm mad at DC (the execs, not the characters) for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. (okay I'm also 1/
bitemark
a little mad that Jason Momoa is playing Aquaman and not Lobo)
Stigl
Holy shit that would have been perfect! Now I'm a little mad too :/
bitemark
I mean, he's killing it as Aquaman but the other would've been Downey/Stark levels of perfect
brassfist
I was hoping for his suit to get an update. Other then that I think it will be a good movie.
TheScurvyWalnut
The director posted that their's still alot of post-production work they are working on, including the suit, action, and the transformation.
Supernerdtastic
Careful what you wish for or you could get new Starfire
MsWindsor
I think it looks fine, as it looks just like that in the comics. I'd rather take that, then have them redesign it and fuck it up.
ermagerditsreyerngerslen
Than ! Sorry , grammar nazi here , off my tits on coffe
MassiveMaoMao
Ironic that this sentence has far more errors than the one you were attempting to correct.
ermagerditsreyerngerslen
Désolé mon pote , je ne suis qu'un français qui essaye de faire du bon dans le monde.
somanywonders987
You think if they changed his suit they wouldn't be strung through the streets?
blazera
whens the last time they didnt change a suit
somanywonders987
I mean Batfleck is pretty close to the source material, flash, super girl, Wonder Woman, even Marvel characters like Iron Man and Hawkeye
somanywonders987
stay pretty close to the source material.
SugarTitillates
I think he meant that his suit looks as bad as green lanterns.
somanywonders987
That's still not even right. Green Lantern looked way, WAY worse than this.
Dagordae
Plus it’s completely true to the comics. Shazam’s always looked goofy.
somanywonders987
And acted goofy! He's supposed to act like a child, and he does!! I'm so fuckin hyped for him.
Alrmterahwk
Was thinking the same, but he looks like what a 10-13 year old THINKS how a super hero would dress.
negzero
Fun fact: Elvis based his look on Shazam.
Tacomacopack
This^ i love that it gives you the right vibe instead of being serious. Like, they understood this is a 13 year old boy suddenly given power
FutureHylian
I was worried he'd turn into Shazam and suddenly be mature and shit. Gimme that "kid figuring out powers" shit, I love it.
WhyAmIHereIShouldBeWorking
Shazam looks great so far, aquaman looks like it could be good, titans... anyway.
whodathunkit
I can't find that trailer...but I did find this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9WhJyyTtqo - which is Teen Titans GO! Movie trailer...
whodathunkit
Edit: Okay I found it...it's terrible. I prefer the Teen Titan's GO! Trailer...
TicoGuy
Shazam looks like I might actually like a DC Movie since Wonder Woman
erick1293

Sulimen
1 step forward for Shazaam, 1 giant leap backwards for Titans.
EarthDragon2189
Hey, two out of three? Best odds DC's had since Man of Steel.
UrkTheTurt
I am very split on aquaman, the special effects feel... oddly overdone but still cheap... like they are trying to damn hard.
Thepaddle
the Aquaman trailer looked kind of generic with kind of poor cgi but I like Mamoa if I'm honest
chaosbunny0902
Lol just not gonna talk about the Titans and pray it goes away? Works for me!
Sirdan3k
"Aquaman looks like it could be good" *DC pumps it's fist in the air* Standards successfully lowered, Long game is paying off woo-hoo!
TheSteppenWolf
Aquaman looks like underwater Black Panther.
SilentMic
Aquaman looks cheesy/terrible. The scene where the coliseum crowd gets hit by a force wave, pauses, then cheers? So bad. So, so bad.
SomeDetroitGuy
You don't want a movie starring Punisher (dressed up as Robin), Beast Boy (without any power), an emo Raven, and a pyrotechnic streetwalker?
LookintoForever
It's not a movie. It's a tv series
ImCreative
They are making a movie. It looks awful
MisterKratos
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1043813/
MisterKratos
Why are you down voted? You're right. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1043813/
SomeDetroitGuy
Fair point.
kurama97
Sweet sweet summer child
MisterKratos
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1043813/
TomB85
Beast boy has no powers? As in no transformation? So he’s just green with no abilities? It CAN get worse. Wow
LookintoForever
Trailer shows him morphing. Still stupid.
LincLoud
I loved the Wonder Woman & really enjoyed Suicide Squad, Man of Steel too. Honestly, it was JL and SvB that tripped up the worst. I think->
LincLoud
Shazam will be hilarious and action packed, I hope Aquaman will be good and think it can be good
WilfordBrimleysMustache
Suicide Squad is by far the worst of the DC movies. To suggest otherwise is nonsense.
lexx416
Justice League was WAY WORSE
somanywonders987
oh piss off it wasn't that bad. it was a fun action movie with recognizable characters and a kick ass makeup department.
DarkBusterBaron
wonder woman was really good didn't watch any others though.
WilfordBrimleysMustache
Wonder woman was over rated. It was just a combination of Thor and Captain America.
somanywonders987
isn't that what her character is in the first place?
WilfordBrimleysMustache
The plot of the movie was almost identical to Captain America. I swore I’d seen these scenes before.
LincLoud
I would suggest Suicide Squad and Man of Steel. Superman v Batman has a few good moments, same with Justice League but they aren't what->
LincLoud
the fans were hoping for.
