We start off with one hella
confusing back story that didn't become clear to me until about an hour
into the movie. Not sure if that was by design or I just missed the
point. A good chunk of the movie is Shazam and his foster brother using
his powers for...well...buying beer and buskering for tips. But
eventually, the focus is on the bad guy and the importance of family.
I
think all ages of the masses will eat his up, similar to the Jumanji
crowd. It isn't quite as well done as that, but it's funny, touching,
and in one particular scene, incredibly heartbreaking.

Us (2019)
Rated: R - Runtime: 116 minutes
tesg's Rating: Three stars (out of four)
The big problem with this feature is that it’s waaay too long. But at the same time, I don’t know what I would have cut out.
It’s more original than the Stepford Wives reboot that was Get Out and nearly (not quite) as well done.

Dumbo (2019)

The fitting result of this movie would be that the person at Disney who green-lit this archaic, outdated script that has no place in the modern era even considering it’s a period piece is nicknamed “Dumbo” for the rest of their career.
