Any opinions from people who SAW it?



I enjoyed it, but it was DEFINITELY sloppier than the first film, which was itself no marvel of tight scripting and lean plotting.

I found myself enjoying a lot of elements in this film and even LOL'ed more than a few times, but it felt like a Dreamworks film, "Shrek" films in particular, with lots of clever jokes and bits o'business that, as a whole, felt like something constructed by committee.

I was impressed with Jack Dylan Grazer, though, in his thankless role as Freddy, overcompensating for his insecurities and absolutely crazy with the frustration that he can't share his secret outside his family.

I did like the final after-credits scene, where Mr.Mind revisits Sivana to reveal that he's made no progress on their master plan because he has no legs or wings. The suggestion being that every Shazam film could end this way.
