![]() ![]() ![]() With the exception of Envy, the Seven Deadly Sins aren't dwelled upon for their characteristics and are just grotesque monsters unleashed by Sivana. His backstory somewhat humanizes him, even as his present-day actions show off his ruthless, power-hungry nature. Strong makes Sivana a formidable antagonist who has family issues of his own. Billy, who resents being a foster kid, may not see how amazing this family is, but audiences will. The storyline offers a rare look at a loving, stable foster family that consists of encouraging parents Rosa (Marta Milans) and Victor Vasquez (Cooper Andrews) and a diverse house full of kids, from college-bound senior Mary (Grace Fulton) and gaming enthusiast Eugene (Ian Chen) to quiet Pedro (Jovan Armand) and adoring/adorable young Darla (Faithe Herman). Angel and Grazer have a brotherly chemistry that Levi replicates with Grazer when he's Shazam. Considering the angst of most previous DC-based thrillers, this one is downright adorable, despite occasional moments of darkness. This refreshingly delightful, lighthearted entry in the DC Extended Universe has enough charm for the whole family thanks to standout performances, broad humor, and positive messages. But there are positive messages about the importance of family (the movie's example of a loving, caring foster home is refreshing), generosity, courage, teamwork, and standing up for others. More serious themes include abandonment, disability, and more. And you can expect a little innuendo/suggestive humor, especially in scenes where characters go into a strip club. Language isn't constant, but characters do say "ass," "s-t," "oh my God," and more. Just be ready for lots of fantasy action violence, including a few deaths (some via disintegration), scary/disturbing "Seven Deadly Sins" monsters, gun use, chases/pursuits and crashes, property destruction, and big fights. There are definitely some dark moments, but this is still the DC Extended Universe's most lighthearted and tween-friendly film to date. He can transform into an adult superhero ( Zachary Levi) whenever he says the titular magic word. Parents need to know that Shazam! is a DC Comics-based superhero comedy that's like Big meets Supermanbecause the main character is a 14-year-old who's given a magical gift. ![]()
