@dawfydd I was referring how the plot/movie itself didn’t really make a huge deal out of the fact that she didn’t even know she was (spoiler alert!)  human … The theatre was pretty empty when I saw that movie, but that’s N=1 so I don’t know the overall sales in the Netherlands for this one.

Like I said : it feels like they could have made more out of her first movie.

Another problem (and one they’ll have to explain in the Avengers) is that we now have a hero who can (spoiler alert!)  destroy star ships without even flinching. It makes everyone else (Thor included) look like wimps. I guess it’s why I don’t like superheroes as a genre, because they rarely get to suffer in any signicant manner so I almost tempted to root for the bad guys …

And with modern special effects Shazam ought to be good from a technical perspective. OTOH … that didn’t prevent ‘Suicide Squad’ from being a disaster.
There is nothing that speaks to me on this movie.
