Críticos y otros miembros de la prensa tuvieron la oportunidad de asistir a las primeras funciones de la película SHAZAM!, y juzgando por sus reacciones iniciales, podría tratarse de otro enorme acierto para el Universo Extendido de DC Cómics.
La mayoría de las reacciones resaltan el humor y corazón de la película, comparándola incluso con clásicos como Big y Home Alone. Pero si en algo están de acuerdo la mayoría, es que el actor Zachary Levi (Chuck) nació para interpretar al superhéroe titular.
loved #Shazam. It's super fun, very funny (a few times people were laughing so loud I missed dialogue), and exactly what they set out to make: 'Big' meets Superman. @ZacharyLevi is perfectly cast but the real surprise is @Jgrazerofficial as Freddy Freeman. Steals the show. pic.twitter.com/ssvs8Dwc2P

Another thing that's great about #Shazam is #DC didn't try and make a movie that fits in perfectly with the larger DC Universe. They just focused on making a great Shazam movie and hit a homerun. DC is def on a winning streak. Bring on Todd Phillips 'Joker'! pic.twitter.com/sH1kyprCMZ

#Shazam was damn near PERFECT in my book. My FAVORITE DC movie (DCEU? What are we saying now?) by far. Pure of heart, incredibly funny, full of in-jokes and references. Brought me a childlike joy to watch. This role was MADE for @ZacharyLevi… & Jack & Asher & the entire cast pic.twitter.com/rVrxjcwvCe

#Shazam is an absolute delight! Super vibrant, tons of heart & a great fun-loving vibe. The family element is a big charmer & so is the humor that comes with watching @ZacharyLevi explore his new powers. Said this after IT but it's worth repeating – @Jgrazerofficial is a star.

#Shazam is big, goofy, lovable, and unlike anything DC has done before. Definitely in the vein of Tom Hanks' BIG, but with superhero action & lots of Batman and Superman references. I dug this film so much I wanted to give it a bear hug at the end. DC's movies keep getting better pic.twitter.com/WQJgo61gMg

Shazam! is another win for DC. Sure, the humor & action you'd expect from a superhero film are there, but #ShazamMovie stands out because of the emotional, family story at its center. I had some small issues with the hero/villain aspects but the family stuff is dynamic & powerful pic.twitter.com/FYM3QVp5hu

DC is finally building a solid run: #Shazam is a delight! Its familiar origin structure is forgivable because of all the new it brings to the table – primarily it's gleeful, childlike enthusiasm, & heartfelt perspective on family. It's also the role Zachary Levi was born to play. pic.twitter.com/5zXtfFDBGm

Shazam! is the superhero film that you never knew you needed. Zachary Levi was born to play this role. Ridiculously entertaining & non-stop fun from start to finish. Loved every character & all of the pop culture references. This is what going to the movies is all about. #Shazam pic.twitter.com/SxCcCTy2ZB

#Shazam is parts Home Alone, parts Big, a crowd pleasing family-friendly joy-filled wish-fulfillment superhero film which gets a bit over the top and cheesy at times. It’s fun and funny, and I was surprised at how much it wears it’s heart on its sleeve.

#Shazam is such a brilliant movie. It’s so tremendously fun, and incredibly scary at some points (thanks, David F. Sandberg!). It blows away every expectation and is my new favorite DC movie. pic.twitter.com/DlpymCukTP

Sinopsis: Todos tenemos un superhéroe dentro de nosotros, solo se necesita un poco de magia para sacarlo. En el caso de Billy Batson (Asher Angel), al gritar una sola palabra, ¡SHAZAM!, este niño adoptivo de 14 años de edad puede convertirse en el Superhéroe adulto Shazam (Zachary Levi), gracias a un antiguo mago. Todavía un niño en el corazón, dentro de un musculoso y divino cuerpo, Shazam se deleita en esta versión adulta de sí mismo al hacer lo que cualquier adolescente haría con súper poderes: ¡diviértete con ellos! ¿Puede volar? ¿Tiene visión de rayos X? ¿Puede disparar un rayo de tus manos? ¿Puede omitir su prueba de estudios sociales? Shazam se propone poner a prueba los límites de sus habilidades con la alegre imprudencia de un niño. Pero también necesitará controlar estos poderes rápidamente para luchar contra las fuerzas mortales del mal controladas por el Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong).
Zachary Levi, Jack Dylan Grazer, Asher Angel, Mark Strong, Grace Fulton, Djimon Honsou y Faithe Herman componen el elenco principal de SHAZAM!, dirigida por David F. Sandberg.
El estreno de SHAZAM! en las salas de cine de Puerto Rico está programado para el 4 de abril de este año.
