Shazam was a much better movie. It had the scariest beginning of any comic book movie as of yet.
I just saw Shazam on Sunday and thought it was great. Yes, the beginning was very dark and at first I thought I was in the wrong part of the theater. And Shazam was actually Captain Marvel, before there was a Captain Marvel under Marvel Comics. There was a huge lawsuit among Detective Comics (DC Comics), the guy that created Superman, and Marvel.
