I've seen three flicks this week.
Shazam: Fury of the Gods. A new one for me, number two in the Shazam franchise. I like the look of Shazam more than I like the back story, a red suited Superman with a lightning symbol and an alias to swoon for, one Captain Marvel. What's not to like? For me the adolescent message is too ... Adolescent now I'm 64. Shazam is for younger super hero fans and I bet they love it. The daughters of Atlas give this movie some adult swoosh but I'll leave Billy Batson for the kids.
Flash: mired in his personal complications, Ezra Miller did a decent job of his own movie despite the unpleasantness. I like the Flash character and his desire to fix things I can relate to. The true spark of the film is Michael Keaton though, his reprisal of Batman an injection of genius. It recalled his acclaimed Bird Man too and seeing him again as the Dark Knight is a reminder of just how important Batman the movie was in 1989. I enjoyed the Flash, even Gorgeous George's cameo at the end!
Seventh Son: I've seen this sword and sorcery flick before and I'm half way through this time. Despite being a box office bomb I like it. Monsters, wizards, witches. It's got the lot. I even like Jeff Bridges' gobstopper voice and Julianne Moore as arch witch...well, enough said!
