i get that to make the movie bankable they have to show how threatening adam is by making him beat a well known established character that even a fifteen year old would recognise, but it always seems to be superman which is a problem imo. and he acted like an idiot for part of the fight which irked me.

besides, i think superman would beat adam in a fight, but thats me.

i still enjoyed it for the most part. good voice acting, nice animation, and the fights weren't terrible.

😆 🙄 sure 😛

to be fair ... adam said they were equals physically and i kinda felt he was suprised/impressed at SM's greater verstalities (HV etc)

he was only dominating SM beacause of the bolts

i am happy Adam didn't JOB to DC's poster boy and was potrayed as match for SM in a physical confrontation

No, the lightning bolts weren't the only thing.

Adam was clearly the more skilled fighter. Mixing in boxing with some nice kicks. Superman dodged nothing that Adam threw his way. Adam's head movement was pretty damn good, made Supes miss a few times.

jobbing isn't the same as losing. i wouldn't have minded that adam could win, but the inability to transfer superman from the comics is becoming a worry to me.

he didn't school CM. they had a brutal fight, and it was CM using the lightninig that proved his undoing.

Superman hasn't been treated that well outside of the show. Even in Public Enemies he had some pretty poor moments. I would have no problem with them making Adam and CM look good. it's making Superman look bad in the process that isn't right, imo. it happens in far too many movies for my liking.

random: i loved vosloo as adam.

WTF only 25 minutes ? someone could post that on youtube and you could watch the entire thing if you wanted.

stilll not worth it

I saw a preview of the fight on youtube. I must say, I'm really please with the way everyone looks. However, Superman should have defeated Adam. Other than that, I'll probably buy the dvd in the near future.

Sucked

If I remember correctly, Captain Marvel was schooled pretty bad in that. Using the lightning was his last and only ace in the hole.

On the bright side, Superman was surprisingly funny in Public Enemies.

This movie is the standard that all other animated comic book movies need to follow. This movie is definitely in my top 3 of all time best animated comic movies. This is the type of quality product you receive when you adapt a good comic story combined with mature and detailed artwork. I would rather see stories like X-men and Spiderman be made into animated movies with this caliber of artwork rather than live action. This just goes to show how easy it is to adapt a comic story without deviating from the story or characters. I really hope that Marvel takes a page from DC here and leaves behind that youthful blocky look their animated movies have. Hopefully we can get a Hellblazer movie with this type of anime lol.

I'm not the biggest fan of Shazam and even though i love the Superman character i'm not the biggest fan of his comics but i thought this movie was close to being a perfect example of an animated comic flick. I'd give it a 9/10. The only thing lacking is the length. We could have had more fighting with Superman and Black Atom to show us a Vulnerable Superman but that's just a complaint that comes from wanting to see more of the beautiful artwork.

DC stay winning.

Will you people please give this untrue "DC is biased against the Marvel family" spiel a rest?

So was this better than Under the Red Hood?
