In Shazam, I loved the way different topics were broached and put in the spotlight because not many films would do that in a superhero advertised film for mainly older kids. I enjoyed how the main character had an interesting family situation. The soundtrack was pretty okay not the best but it got a few smiles out of me.
The humour in this film makes it deserving of being in the comedy genre because it made fun jokes that were easy to get and great to laugh along to. I feel like the film like many others has an allegory about found family. My favourite relationship was between Billy and Freddy because it was just great to watch them.
I believe that this film isn't really fit for kids aged 7 and below but it would be good for 8 and beyond. This is because the violence is quite strong sometimes.
