Shazam!

Louilink editorial rating: 8.7/10. This score reflects the film’s position in the existing DC Extended Universe ranking.

Teenager Billy Batson gains the ability to transform into an adult superhero, turning the familiar origin story into a playful exploration of family and responsibility.

Performances and Direction

Levi’s exuberance and Grazer’s comic timing make the discovery of superpowers genuinely funny. The foster-family relationships lend warmth, though the villain and CGI monsters are less memorable than the heroes.

The Final Verdict

A charming, energetic superhero comedy with a welcome emotional center and an appealingly youthful perspective.
