Saw that on my flight back today. A good flight flick, I think.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

No way a helicopter is coming to rescue you in the middle of a category 5 hurricane.

The Marvel Family was quite the surprise. I mean, I knew about them but not that they would do that in the very first movie. Kind of cool, though those are the characters that brought it down. I didn't buy that any of them were the kids grown up except for the youngest, but even then the characters appeared ditzy instead of a child in a grown-ups body. I did laugh at the Hadoken! scene though.

And I saw some complaints that Shazam vs. Billy didn't seem like the same person but it felt fine to me. It was supposed to be a 14-y/o kid still and it def . felt like Zac was acting like a 14 y/o kid.

I liked the family dynamics though and the kids all worked really well together, same with the foster parents. It felt natural.

Mister Mind was an annoyance because it was too obvious a plant in the film. I mean, a weird focus on a caterpillar in a jar, and then later a weird focus on the jar and - gasp! - it's cracked and there's no caterpillar. ooooh aaaah. Also a weird pull for Mister Mind considering how DC films have been going. But hey, if they manage to pull it off then more power to them.

While I liked the part with Superman and how well the kid sold it, it would have been that much cooler to actually see Henry Cavill instead of an obvious body double. Though an in-universe question I would have liked answered is how did he find Superman and say 'no really I'm a good guy too btw let's go have lunch tomorrow' that quickly?
