I haven't seen Shazam yet, but I really want to and will either on the big screen or at home. So, while I can't comment on the thread at hand directly, I will say that Man of Steel is still my #1 DCEU movie (with Aquaman close behind), as it is a visual marvel to behold, the score was excellent, and it had the best comic book action sequences put to film until Infinity War dropped. Supes was due for a different take for the general audience after Superman Returns, and ya Snyder and co. went a bit too far with the brooding Superman, but I really enjoyed it. Should've had a Superman II sequel before BvS and WB should've done a thousand other things differently before expanding their cinematic universe, but we've all gone down that rabbit hole a quintillion times over on this site, so I'll refrain from doing so yet again.
I obviously know the tone for Shazam is drastically different from Man of Steel if the trailers are anything to go by, but if it's anywhere near the movie MoS was, it'll slide right into those top tier DCEU movies.
SHAZAM is easily one of the better origin stories I have seen thus far. The flow between horror and comedy elements flowed perfectly. Only gripe I had was the cheap CGI, but it's forgiven, since it had a low budget. SHAZAM wins this rather easily, IMO.
I couldn't edit the post, so I just flat-out deleted it, and Quan's reply to it because he quoted him in it and I couldn't just edit that either. SquallX's ban will be left up to Impediment as the MDF isn't my yard, but I'll make a note in the mod forum to explain what I did.

As far as the thread goes, Shazam isn't just one of the best DC films, it's one of the best superhero films of the past few years. Period. It's incredibly well put-together, and I think it'll end up aging a lot better than a lot of the other movies we've had this last while.
Same. SHAZAM is in my top 10 all time comic book films. I'm wondering how theyll deal with Black Adam. Will they put him in the third one, while Mr. Mind is in the sequel? So, the order looks like
Pssh soon The Joker film will surpass all DC films away...he's dancing with his mom!

I agree posting spoilers should be bannable on sight. Hence I will not even enter certain threads. I despise guys like Carthage. Trying to ruin it for everyone around.
