Shazam

Billy is a much more sympathetic character

I haven't seen Shazam yet, but assuming he doesn't get thousands of people killed in a super powered fight...sure feels like you're judging Superman for doing so. Not cool bro.

I had high hopes for MoS and it didn't live up to them. I didn't have high hopes for Shazam and it was about what I expected. So about the same to me.

Man of steel had better action sequences and is a lot more rewatchable. That being said neither a turn sequences move my needle like the MCU but Shazam fights were terrible.

Yeah the final sequence in Shazam reminded me of the London scene in Rise of the Silver Surfer. Not great. Characterization is a problem in both but for different reasons. Everyone in Man of Steel was the same moody, serious and miserable. Where as in Shazam the difference between the humour between him and the kids was too much of a contrast with Sivana that it felt like 2 different movies when it switched between their respective scenes.

Both had problems but the action and visuals in MOS were on another level than this piece of trash. What is surprising is Darth Thor wants more Shazam less Superman. This coming from a Superman hater says a lot.

I suppose it depends what someone wants from a comicbook movie. The current iteration of Superman is hardly the go-to character for a bit of humour. An odd choice given the originals had plenty funny moments with Clark Kent and are far more highly regarded with the obvious exception of Quest for Peace which was as bad as they come.

I do not tend to go for any one thing it just had to work. Shazam did not work for me. It was boring and the action was sub par.

MoS aims higher and further, and it gets a lot more flak than it deserves imo, but it also suffers more as a result when it falls short. Shazam is better in most regards, bar the fight scenes.

Shazam is the superior movie imo.

I didn't get that impression at all. Just because a movie is mostly light-hearted doesn't mean it can't have darkness as well. In fact, it's one of the films best strengths. The kids felt and acted like kids yet the villain was still intimidating and dangerous rather then be merely a joke.
