I was at the US Open a couple weeks ago, and in the stadium they were showing celebrities in the crowd between games while everyone cheered. They showed this guy, and even had his name (Zachary Levi) written on the screen, and everyone stopped cheering immediately. It was as if thousands of people just looked at each other and said, "Who the hell is that?" at once. It was pretty great. Man, this really hits home with me. I don't watch much TV, I don't watch ANY network TV. Yet every time someone from the Office or Parks and Recreation or whateverthefuck is cast in a film, I am supposed to know who the hell that is?  |

Actually it looks pretty interesting. The only thing I still can't get behind is the costume.

I’m not usually one to attempt to judge a movie before it even came out, but— look at this! It looks awful. Awful. Awful awful awful awful awful. Listen to how terrible that dialogue is. God. Listen to those jokes. Listen to how bad that music is, how bad that costume is, how bad what’s-his-name Captain Marvel is. Look at how that one scene with the ski-mask-wearing burglars steals off a scene in Spider-Man: Homecoming that wasn’t all that funny to begin with. I’m sorry. Maybe it’ll be great. But that trailer’s one of the worst things I’ve seen for a big-budget movie in a long time. Disagree. 100% |

I wasn't interested at all in "JOKER" until I read it's meant to play like "Taxi Driver"  |

Now I’m feeling that I shouldn’t have started this thread because I feel like I’m the only person who felt this way about the trailer…

I really can't tell from the trailer. It could be a disaster or it could be quite enjoyable if properly executed.

I've been a big Zachary Levi fan ever since "Chuck" so I hope the film does well. I even met him briefly once when he was doing a USO tour overseas.

He was not "trolling"
He just genuinely did not like it.

Boy, somebody made a thread to troll fans. I wasn’t trolling, I just didn’t like the trailer. That’s all. I didn’t mean any offense to anyone, I just had an opinion. |

I just watched the trailer again and my opinion hasn't changed: I like it.

I don't think this is going to be the worst movie ever, I just don't think its going to be the antidote to anything either. Whereas Aquaman and Wonder Woman 1984 have the chance to be truly great and carry the fate of the DCEU, maybe even "steering the ship" in the right direction(?).
But Shazam just looks kinda neither here nor there. If it turns out good... great. I want them to succeed and I want to see a good movie. But, is Shazam going to launch its own whole franchise? is Shazam going to fill the void of Superman, or join the Justice League? Are we going to Zach Levi alongside Ben Afflecks Batman?

meh If it does become a franchise, aside from a sequel introducing Black Adam (which, by the way, with the tongue in cheek tone that seems to be prevalent, The Rock will CRUSH) I see Booser Gold as a reasonable addition. The Flash and Wonder Woman would probably fit in fairly well too...I can see WW taking Shazam under her wing or something like that. Aquaman could probably work too...Superman SHOULD and COULD fit in if MoS2 happens and course corrects. But the rest of the DCEU (really just leaves Cyborg, Batfleck and the Suicide Squad) would be horribly out of place. |

meh I expected Shazam to be a little more epic than it looks but I do like Zachary Levi. I'd be okay with this becoming similar to what Ant-Man is to the MCU. Not the best DC has to offer but a goofy, enjoyable little franchise that is cheaper to make while not being a box office "smash" but makes enough money to keep doing what they do. |

That's how I feel about Aquaman.
I think Shazam actually looks pretty enjoyable.
