I think this because it has flaws similar to Snyder's films. A good looking lead with paper thin acting ability, villains that are cliched , action that is subpar but hides behind being "epic", simplistic story that goes from A to B to C without really offering any surprises or turns, poor pacing, CGI overload and CGI that doesn't even look good. It's practically a Zack Snyder film except it's campy, which is why I said this felt like this was Snyder trying to make a lighthearted superhero film.
Shazam was fine as was the first flick and this too was better than Zack's films. I was just surprised at how similar the flaws were.
I disagree. I think that's a very shallow, biased analysis. I mean, outside of adaptations that call for good looking leads, most of his leading men/women are either "everyday men/women", or have a very alt look to them. I mean, are you really trying to hang him for casting a good looking Superman? I'm kind of confused why you lead with that. It really does seem like you're going out your way to rope Snyder into this because none of your points are really unique to him. Anyways, we're not going to agree here. I was just wondering why you thought that because it made no sense to me.
Eh, I thought the movie was trash. Like it belonged on the Disney channel. I don't know why CBM's have become synonymous with wholesomeness, humor, and family fun to the point where people expect them all to have that type of tone and get mad when they don't. Most of the comics I read don't give me that vibe. I'm not the biggest Captain Marvel fan but, hell, even though he's a kid who can turn in a super powered adult the comics I have read of him are a lot more mature than what we got.
