Compared with Marvel, which is self-contained and has deep pockets, DC is more like a sub-brand of Time Warner. The audience has formed a mind-set in their minds, but inadvertently makes us ignore the charm of the film itself.

Before the old three giants of the Justice League were familiar with the audience, Superman and Batman had quickly retired. The man who took over was an unfamiliar muscular man who was wrapped in red tights, a cloak that resembled a curtain, a Gatorade LOGO that would shine on his chest, and his hair gel was neater than Superman, but his mental age was only 14 years old. The name is also a little exotic, called silly praise. Although Duozan has no sense of existence in China, the word of mouth of the big and small film review websites is all over the street, but it has gained a 90% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes! Staged a counterattack.

When Spider-Man won the youngest member of the Avengers as a high school student, Shao Zan set a new record - a 15-year-old junior high school student, I believe there is no fried chicken hero younger than him. In response to such a tender character setting, the plot is also set to be obviously younger, but this did not cause much discomfort to the audience. The impression of silly praise is more inclined to the cuteness of children. In addition to bringing joy to the plot, it also brings a kind of kindness.

Unlike Superman, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman, who are gifted with extraordinary talents, he doesn't even have the lowest-level special skill as an earthling - rich. Shaozan is just an ordinary teenager. He likes to truant from school, likes to drink soda, and fantasizes with his good friends. He has acquired superpowers and longs for his mother's love. Therefore, the teenager was able to jump out of the rigor of the adult world. After accidentally gaining supernatural power, the first thing he thought of was not to show evil and punish the traitor, but to buy beer, watch strip shows, charge passers-by's mobile phones, and shoot superpower videos to upload. Brush flow to the tubing. Divine power has become a tool for play in the hands of teenagers, which is also the real psychology that an ordinary boy should have.

When the teenager found his biological mother after many years, what he gained was abandonment. In the loss, he finally found that what he had been avoiding for so many years was the real support. Therefore, the teenager returned to his "family" without hesitation, shared his divine power with the equally ordinary adoptive family brothers and sisters, and then formed a team to fight monsters and beat the weak chicken villain. In the end, the direction of the story is a bit like "The Extraordinary Team", but compared to the latter, the transformation of this group of Luthers is more joyful and full.

According to the budget of only 90 million for this film, naturally a perfect superhero work cannot be piled up, but this ensures that it is difficult to lose money. On the contrary, according to the current data, the film box office still earns a lot of money Full. It can be seen that the template of Chaoying movies is not static, and it is not that every story has to be written in the form of a reunion. Going back to its roots, movies are also born to bring joy, and DC seems to have taken an interesting path with silly praise.

Acceptable, not recommended, not favorite.

    3.5. For 100% children's movies, it is a good idea to have a similar original family setting on both sides, but it is a pity that the story unfolds too badly. So on the whole, the ideal director for this film should be Hirokazu Edema.

    Very unobjective scoring hahaha. Seeing a lot of people say that they are young, it may be that they have a different mentality. In my opinion, DC has been stupid ever since he got on his knees, and this film simply tells superheroes from the perspective of children, and obviously has no intention to tell the story seriously. After watching the trailer countless times, I watched it with a sand sculpture mentality from the beginning. Don't be too happy to watch it, and there is no sense of disobedience, so I think it is still a mentality problem. Change your mindset from one star to five stars. Thank you!

    Freddy Freeman: [wearing an Aquaman shirt] I don't know, maybe command an army of billions from the ocean?

    Shazam: Oh yeah... well, that's not THAT cool.

  • Freddy Freeman: You know, I like you like this. This is so cool. I mean, no offense, but, like, at first you were kinda like the opposite of how Darla is.

    Shazam: A dick?

    Freddy Freeman: Your words. Not mine. But yeah.
