Shazam! by a wide margin. It was fun, full of surprises and by the end, I was grinning from ear to ear. I enjoyed most of the characters, although the kid who played Billy, Asher Angel wasn't convincing as Zachary Levi or vice-versa. That's unfortunate because Faithe Herman and Meagan Good were great as each other's counterpart. The same is true of Jack Dylan Grazer and Adam Brody. The disparity between Billy and "Captain Sparkle-fingers" didn't derail my enjoyment, though. I loved when Russ Butler shouted "Hadouken" and "Fatality". Speaking of the action, I felt it was well done, but I've seen better in other DC movies. Captain Marvel, on the other hand, was kind of boring in the middle. We knew the destination already, and the journey itself wasn't all that interesting. It had its moments, though and I am glad I saw it, but let's face it, I had to see it because of Endgame. If it had been a Phase 1 or Phase 2 movie, I might have waited for the home video release. I thought about that with Shazam!, and am happy I chose to see it in the theaters today.
Shazam was much better than expected, it’s a wholesomw fun movie for kids and family. A bit too childish tho, with a terrible villain. Didn’t help for me that they basically adapted New52, doesn’t require much effort. CM for me.
Just saw it earlier, def SHAZAM! Looking back now, watching Captain Marvel was like a chore, or having to do housework/cleaning or something in comparison to SHAZAM! Captain Carol seems legit soulless compared to SHAZAM!
I can’t believe how generic and inconsequential Captain Marvel was . Given how Kevin Feige built her up to be the face of the MCU , nothing she did ever really suggested that
Both were average tbh. I'll give it to Shazam solely on the strength of Darla lol. Actually, I change my mind. If I had to watch one of them again, it would be Captain Marvel.
