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.
