Lego DC Shazam: Magic and Monsters

Well written dialogues, story and a splendid voice cast (the kid versions were cute). Every joke hit the mark and the humour was organic. One of the best adaptations of Captain Marvel / Shazam. An emotional and heartwarming character arc and I loved the portrayal of other heroes too.

If Shazam! Fury of the Gods based on this story the film wouldn't have been a flop.

The Lego DC Universe has a new superhero, Shazam. After he helps the Justice League at the Metropolis Farmers' Market, the group invites him, however, he refuses, as he his afraid to show his true identity due to being a kid and they will reject him for it. However, after the League falls for a trap laid by Mister Mind, leader of the Monster Society of Evil, and regressed to kids so he can easily mind control them, Batman manages to escape, and now, he and Shazam must trust each other to save the others, as they are brainwashed to bring Mister Mind food.

This is a good DTV film. The film is basically a lesson in trust, as Shazam has to learn to trust other with his secret, despite his fear of how the other heroes would react to him being a kid. Also, the story is good, the voice acting is great, and the action and humor are done greatly. I recommend this one for younger superhero fans or fans of Lego in general.

I'll be honest up front. I could only get through 20 minutes of this - right around the point where the villain was revealed. It doesn't come anywhere close to the original Lego Movie or the Batman Lego movie (or heck, even Lego Movie 2 or Lego Ninjago).

There was one amusing joke, but the rest of the humour was just lame. The writing was a bunch of cliches and cheesy dialogue. I don't see how anyone over 12 years old could enjoy it.

I really liked the live action Shazam film and The Return of Black Adam animated short, but this was too much to sit through.

If there's one positive it's that the animation was really well done.

LEGO DC: Shazam! Magic and Monsters (2020) is the tenth and final entry in the Lego DC Comics movie series and it was good.

Positives for LEGO DC: Shazam! Magic and Monsters (2020): This movie does a decent job at introducing us to the character of Shazam to the Justice League and ferron to know him before he joins the league. The subplot with the Justice League being turned into kids is fun. There is a good enough of action and humor with the characters and their situations. And finally, the final battle against Black Adam was fun.

Negatives for LEGO DC: Shazam! Magic and Monsters (2020): Black Adam feels like an afterthought in the movie despite being on the DVD cover. The villain that turns the Justice League into kids is forgettable and he disappears after the Justice League turn into kids. And finally, there are moments where the movie is promoting the Lego sets with the Justice League in their life vehicles are hilariously dumb.

Overall, LEGO DC: Shazam! Magic and Monsters (2020) is a fine enough ending for the Lego DC Comics movie series and it will entertain kids.

"The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them."- Shazam

9/10

The humor and the Shazam character is the highlight of LEGO DC: Shazam - Magic & Monsters (2020). Loved the feel good tone and silly humor. Recommended if you are looking for some light-hearted comedy film.

Shazam is invited by the Justice League to join their team but he is reluctant to reveal his true identity to them. In the meantime Monster Society traps Justice League. And it is up to Batman and Shazam to stop the evil Monster Society and save the day.

The animation was good. It maintains the same quality as the other DC Lego Animated Movies. The effects were great. I liked the character designs as well. I did however found the Background music to be a bit annoying.

I really liked the film. I liked the humor. It was a fun way to spend 80mins. The plot was simple and the characters were likable. I loved the segment where Batman and Shazam teams up. If you liked The Lego Batman Movie (2017) or Scoob! (2020) give this a go.
