Plot

edit

In 1974 inUpstate New York,youngThaddeus Sivanais riding in a car with his abusive father and elder brother Sid during a snowstorm, and is mocked and verbally harassed by them constantly. He is suddenly transported to theRock of Eternity,a mystictemplelocated in another dimension. There, he meets an ancient wizard namedShazam,who has spent centuries searching for someone pure of heart upon whom to bestow his powers and name as champion after his previous one[a]unleashed theSeven Deadly Sins.Thaddeus is tempted by the Sins, who promise him power if he frees them. The wizard deems him unworthy and magically returns him to the car. Thaddeus's frustration and confusion leads to a car crash, resulting in his father becoming paralyzed from the waist down and even more resentful towards him. The Sins send Thaddeus a message via his 8-Ball toy, telling him to find them.

In present-dayFawcett City,Philadelphia, 14-year-old foster childBilly Batsoncontinually runs away from foster homes to search for his birth mother, whom he has been seeking ever since being separated from her at a carnival ten years ago. He locks some police officers in a store to use their computer to try to locate his mother, but is unsuccessful. Billy is placed in a group home run by Víctor and Rosa Vásquez with five other foster children: "den mother"Mary Bromfield,shyPedro Peña,obsessive gamerEugene Choi,energeticDarla Dudley,and superhero enthusiastFreddy Freeman.Elsewhere, an embittered Sivana succeeds in his lifelong quest to return to the Rock of Eternity. Sivana becomes the Sins' vessel when the Eye fuses itself with his body and overpowers the wizard. He promptly uses his newfound powers to kill his father, Sid, and the members of Sivana Industries' board of directors.

Billy defends Freddy from bullies at school and is chased into a subway car, where he is transported to the Rock of Eternity. The wizard chooses him to be his new champion; by saying the name "Shazam," Billy transforms into an adult superhero. The wizard seemingly dies and leaves his magical staff behind. Freddy is taken into Billy's confidence and helps him explore his newfound powers, which include superhuman strength, near-invulnerability, superspeed, and electrokinesis. By saying "Shazam" again, he can transform back into his normal body. Freddy postsviral videosof the new superhero, and Billy starts skipping school to use his powers tobuskfor money and fame. He gets into an argument with Freddy after accidentally endangering, then saving a bus full of people. Sivana arrives and demands that Billy surrender his powers. Billy discovers he can fly and escapes. He learns his biological mother's location and visits her, only to be heartbroken upon learning she abandoned him at the carnival on purpose after feeling inadequate as a teenage mother and no longer wanting him in her life.

Sivana deduces Billy's identity and takes his foster siblings hostage. Billy agrees to transfer his powers to him in exchange for their safety. They go to the Rock of Eternity to use the wizard's staff to effect the transfer, but the children attack Sivana. Billy observes that Sivana becomes vulnerable when all seven Sins leave his body. Sivana pursues them to a winter carnival and unleashes the Sins upon the crowd. Remembering the wizard's words, Billy uses the staff to share his powers with his foster siblings, transforming them intoadult superheroes like himbefore he breaks the staff in half.

The Shazam Family battles against the Sins while Billy faces down Sivana. He goads Envy into leaving Sivana powerless and recaptures the Sins after forcefully pulling the Eye out of Sivana's head. Billy and his foster siblings are hailed as heroes. They return the Sins to their prison and realize they can use the Rock of Eternity as their superhero headquarters. Billy finally accepts his foster parents and siblings as his "real" family. In his superhero form, he has lunch with his siblings at school, revealing to Freddy's surprise that he has also invitedSuperman.

In amid-credits scene,the imprisoned Sivana is approached by a talking caterpillar[b]who proposes an alliance. Thepost-credits scenefeatures a sillybanterbetween Shazam and Freddy.

New Line Cinemabegan development of aShazam!live-actionfeature film in the early 2000s, with multiple screenplay drafts, byWilliam Goldman,the team ofAlec SokolowandJoel Cohen,Bryan Goluboff, andJohn August.The version of theShazam!script written by August, which went into pre-production in 2008, was an action-comedy which focused on the origin story of the hero, then known by his original name of Captain Marvel, and his young alter ego, Billy Batson.[28]Peter Segalwas attached as director[29]andDwayne Johnsonwas in talks to appear as the film's villain,Black Adam.[28]

New Line Cinema was absorbed intoWarner Bros.,a larger film studio also owned at the time byTime Warner,[30]during the course of development.[28]Following the success of Warner's Batman filmThe Dark Knightand the commercial failure of its lighter, family-friendlySpeed Racer,both during the summer of 2008,[28]August departed from the project, citing pressure from the studio to make the screenplay darker and more serious.[31]In August 2009, Bill Birch and Geoff Johns, a prominent DC Comics writer, were assigned to write the screenplay, while Segal remained attached as director.[32]In August 2010, the studio considered canceling the theatrical film in favor of a live-action series forprime timenetwork television.[33]In December 2013, Segal stated that the film would not be happening, as the similarities between Captain Marvel andSupermanhad become an obstacle after the successful launch ofMan of Steelearlier that year.[34]

While the film was indevelopment limbo,DC Comics rebooted the comic book franchise as part of theirNew 52relaunch in 2012. Due to the trademark conflicts withMarvel Comics,who owned the trademark for "Captain Marvel" for use withtheir own character of the same name,[35]DC renamed their Captain Marvel superhero character "Shazam" at this time when the New 52 started.[36]DC had been required to market and promote the character using the trademarkShazam!,since acquiring the publishing rights fromFawcett Comicsin 1972.[37]Captain Marvel had originated at Fawcett in 1939, but fell into limbo after 1953 following a long legal battle with DC over Captain Marvel's similarities to Superman.[38]

In August 2017, director David F. Sandberg stated that the film would be the next to shoot in the DC universe,[52][unreliable source]and by the end of the month, it had begunpre-production.[53]By October 2017, cinematographerMaxime Alexandreand production designer Jennifer Spence, who previously worked with Sandberg onAnnabelle: Creation,were added to the production.[54]The next month,Aquamanstunt coordinator Kyle Gardiner was hired to work on the film's action sequences.[55]On January 12, 2018, the film's release date was announced as April 19, 2019, later moved to April 5.[56]

Critical response

edit

Onreview aggregatorwebsiteRotten Tomatoes,the film holds an approval rating of 90% with an average rating of 7.3/10, based on 421 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "An effortlessly entertaining blend of humor and heart,Shazam!is a superhero movie that never forgets the genre's real power: joyous wish fulfillment. "[113]OnMetacritic,the film has a weighted average score of 71 out of 100, based on 53 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[114]Audiences surveyed byCinemaScoregave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale, while those polled byPostTrakgave it a 79% positive score, with 59% saying they would definitely recommend it.[115]

Nick Allen ofRogerEbertsaid that "whileShazam!is goofier (and darker) than it may look, you'll wish its superhero came with a little more spark, "[116]whileThe Hollywood Reporter's Frank Scheck called the film "Bigon steroids "and praised the tone and performances.[117]Alonso DuraldeofTheWrapwrote, "If theWonder WomanandAquamanmovies represented DC Comics' first big-screen steps away from the austere color palette of theZack Snydermovies,Shazam!takes us deeply into primary colors in a single bound... this new DC entry has a lovely lightness, both in the visuals and in its tone. "[118]

Writing forThe A.V. Club,Ignatiy Vishnevetskygave the film a "B−" and said: "...while the story of an extremely overpowered champion rising to challenge a one-dimensionally sinister baddie might seem like the epitome of simplicity,Shazam!is still a modern-daytentpole blockbuster,overburdened with backstories for both hero and villain and subtexts that it can't (or won't) fully articulate. "[119]That publication followed up with a further consideration ofmasculinityin the film and the superhero genre generally, focusing on the transition of Billy Batson from an adolescent boy to a man with power and responsibility.[120]Benjamin Lee ofThe Guardiangave the film 3 out of 5 stars, specifying, "The finale, while admirably self-contained and small-scale, grinds on for far too long, a boring escalation of anti-climaxes that cumulatively dull the intended emotional impact. It's a film in need of a tighter edit with a script in need of a sharper polish, an imperfect franchise-launcher that nonetheless represents significant progress for DC."[121]
