louder for the retards in the back who can't read gud.
the movie was decent. I don't know why really but I've never seen a "bad" rock movie. Even the over the top cheesy ones work for me.
The average movie going audience is going to shit all over this for such blatant copy catting though.

think of it as Aquaman and Shazaam silliness rolled into one with a more serious overall tone.

I Wish they would of explained the Shazam thing at least, in an origin movie. Especially considering everyone in the theatre just watched a shazam preview for something completely different. I had to look it up when I got home to figure out why that was the keyword. Maybe I missed it, but all I remember is the wizards and even they used the word at the end of granting the powers.

arent the wizards in this the same wizards/brothers who get killed in Shazaam? they also seem to have the same demonic enemies.

I have no clue, I never watched that other shazam. But still, after reading about why that was a keyword, it stands for something different then that shazam apparently. Which was just never explained. The group I went with are not comic people at all, and either am I really, and we were all confused about it(and again because we had all just watched a preview for the next shazam movie, who is a completely different hero). Would of been nice to get some exposition, that it's an acronym and what it stands for.
Like I said maybe I missed it? When the wizards were shown granting the power, maybe each said the name and I just didn't hear it and only heard the final guy at the end say "Shazam", dunno.

Yeah see if they had just had that kind of scene in this one. Naming all the gods to the acronym. Since black adam's is supposedly from different gods(egyptian) instead of the ones shazam(had no clue he was originality named Captain Marvel(for marvelous) and created all the way back in 1940, gets his from.

well both costumes are similar and its the same wizard guys. i guess they assumed anyone interested in Black Adam also saw Shazaam. like they literally say Shazaam a ton in this movie,

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. And thus League of Legends was created.

In the comics, the name of the wizard is Shazam, so captain marvel and black Adam are invoking Shazam's name.
Captain marvel's powers are from
the wisdom of SOLOMON
the strength of HERCULE
the stamina of ATLAS
the power of ZEUS
the courage of ACHILLES
the speed of MERCURY
Black Adams powers are from
the stamina of SHU
the speed of HORUS
the strength of AMON
the wisdom of ZEHUTI
the power of ATEN
the courage of MEHEN
Its sort of Shazam's deal to bless people with his own name regardless of their nationality. For the movie I don't remember the wizards saying one way or another which pantheon they were using, but I got the impression that they chose teth-adam's son the same way they chose billy batson. Then when teth-adam proved too dangerous they locked him up and moved on to blessing other people, with Billy batson being the last person chronologically.
