Can you picture kids running around playing and then screaming the hero's name? Yes you can as it is the basic principle of SHAZAM! in that a kid becomes a superhero.
Now it looks like SHAZAM! might be an even bigger hit than expected since the first reactions to seeing it have hit Twitter and there is an overwhelming sense of positivity coming from it.
Here's a small sampling of a few reaction tweets:
Loved #Shazam It's #Deadpool with heart. It's playful, smart, and so funny. It manages to balance being both meta and sincere at once -- no easy feat! There's so much joy and whimsy, and yet there's a fair bit of appropriate menace that really adds to the stakes. pic.twitter.com/nGjJQOLrWY— Roth Cornet (@RothCornet) March 8, 2019
#Shazam is parts Home Alone, parts Big, a crowd pleasing family-friendly joy-filled wish-fulfillment superhero film which gets a bit over the top and cheesy at times. It’s fun and funny, and I was surprised at how much it wears it’s heart on its sleeve.— Peter Sciretta (@slashfilm) March 8, 2019
#Shazam was shockingly good! Reminds of me of when kids’ movies were legitimately scary (in a good way). An absolute blast from start to finish, full of heart and hilarity. My face hurt from smiling so much. Amazing deep cut DC references in there too. pic.twitter.com/ZXJOI5lcsM— Dan Casey (@DanCasey) March 8, 2019
#Shazam is a laugh-out-loud funny romp that captures the innocence and challenge of being both a superhero and a kid at once. It’s clever, fun and heroic with an obvious nod to 80s classics like Big, Ghostbusters, The Goonies etc. @joblocom @ShazamMovie— Paul Shirey (@arcticninjapaul) March 8, 2019
#Shazam is an absolute delight! Super vibrant, tons of heart & a great fun-loving vibe. The family element is a big charmer & so is the humor that comes with watching @ZacharyLevi explore his new powers. Said this after IT but it's worth repeating - @Jgrazerofficial is a star.— Perri Nemiroff (@PNemiroff) March 8, 2019
Shazam! is another win for DC. Sure, the humor & action you'd expect from a superhero film are there, but #ShazamMovie stands out because of the emotional, family story at its center. I had some small issues with the hero/villain aspects but the family stuff is dynamic & powerful pic.twitter.com/FYM3QVp5hu— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) March 8, 2019
It was very difficult to find any reaction by someone who has seen this early giving any negative comment about it.
SHAZAM! opens in the U.S. on April 5.
