I watched Shazam! only because of its poster. I thought it was going to be a funny movie - something like Deadpool (not Deadpool 2, which is terrible). Although the main protagonist has a strong personality, the rest of the characters - kids - are very unimpressive. The storyline is poor and there is no plot. The movie doesn't become impressive until some forty minutes into it. Then, apart from some quips here and there, it is generally unimpressive and doesn't make you forget eating your popcorn. A huge disappointment.
I have had this movie sitting in my library for sometime. I had it for two reasons: Nicolas Cage, and the fact that it won an Oscar. I didn't know there was Elisabeth Shue in it, or the reasons for my having this movie would have been three!
And what a beautiful movie it is!
Throughout its 1 hour and 48 minutes of running, I did not know where the time flew. A beautiful tale of two proud and graceful people who have been caught up in a rut of fate. An exquisite movie and something that make you feel better after watching it.
However, there are certain drastic directorial and camera work issues: the camera often fails to focus on the subject in question. The booze glasses keep emptying or filling themselves up throughout the movie. I think the biggest of the goofs is that in the beginning when a hooker sucks Cage's wedding ring off his finger, and he discovers that when he wakes up, the ring is again on his finger afterwards.

Tina Fey, Tina Fey, Tina Fey.
The name was everywhere and probably it was because of her that many people watched this movie. But I have experienced terrible acting by Tina Fey - overacting, if I may say. Billy Bob Thornton has a supporting role but he has done justice to his role as always. The action is terrible. I am sure the real book the movie is based on has fact narrated in a different way. For the sake of making a movie, the director has screenwriter have distorted the story in a myriad ways. Very poorly directed. "13 Hours - The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi" is a much better attempt as both these movies have somewhat the same plot with a different story.
