But I thought you hated humorous kiddie movies? Compared to a lot of mcu movies it wasn't that bad. So you're saying Shazam was less humorous than majority of MCU movies?

You know thenewnexus, he thinks anything with a darker color palette is automatically more serious. Considering that majority of Shazam's major scene took place at night, I can see why he might be confused.

It's funny how Marvel movies always get pegged as "kiddie." One of those two films was squarely designed for the enjoyment of a child, and the other was not (based on its so-called political undercurrents). On that basis, I don't see the two movies as being strictly comparable, unless of course, I get to compare Dumbo and Robocop next.The originals or the remakes???

But I thought you hated humorous kiddie movies? If it ain't the MCU its perfectly okay to like them. So true. Remember how Oscars/Oscar Noms were important in boasting up SS or Logan, but when BP wins them, all of a sudden they have no value.....

So, I’m going to the movies (for once. Norman would be so proud! ). Which one should I see?

OK, Shazam’s playing sooner, so I’ll see that. I read the thread, and we allow seem to be giving it good marks, so here’s hoping I like it!

So, um, my first reaction is, I didn’t really like it. It’s better than I expected, but if you know what I thought of the trailer it’d almost have to be.

I liked Shazam more. But then again I also think Superman 78 is one of the worse comic book movies of all time so...

Just got back from Shazam and I think it was better, though both are good.

I personally wouldn't go so far as to call Superman 78 one of the worst but it definitely ranks pretty low on my list. Maybe because I only watched it later on after I've watched the two Burton Batmans.

I like both of these movies in different ways, but I'm surprised Shazam! isn't winning by a landslide.
