Review of Shazam!

Shazam! (2019)
5/10
Just say Shazam and you're an idiot

Warning: Spoilers
Let me explain my main gripe about this movie. The young hero here is very likable. He looks and acts like a cool 16 year old kid. Then he turns into Shazam and suddenly he is an adult that acts like a two year old. Maybe if the old Wizard who gave him the power would have explained something like, "My son, when you say the name Shazam you will gain incredible powers beyond your imagination. However, there is this minor downside that you will become a nerdy, incompetent, immature whiny baby too." This is a major flaw in the movie. It is annoying. Either someone was grossly miscast or somebody needed to tell these two actors to coordinate. As it is it looks like just what it is in reality: two different actors taking their scenes in their own conflicting directions.
