Lego DC Shazam!: Magia e Monstros

LEGO DC Shazam!: Magic and Monsters (2020) is a movie I recently watched on HBOMAX. The storyline follows Shazam when he is surprisingly asked to join the Justice League. He is hesitant at first because he's never had to reveal his identity or work within a team dynamic, but when Black Adam and the Monsters Society appear, they capture the Justice League and Shazam and Batman are their final hope. Can Shazam let his guard down and save the Justice League? This movie is directed by Matt Peters (Justice League Dark: Apokolips War) and contains the voices of Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings), Imari Williams (Demon Slayer), Troy Baker (Batman vs Robin), Grey Griffin (Transformers) and Jennifer Hale (Blood of Artemis). The depiction of the kids at the orphanage are so good as are the settings, especially the Wizard's cave. The extended DC universe is awesome as was the interactions between characters. The idea of turning all DC characters into kids was great and funny. The script in this is pretty solid and the animation is excellent. Black Adam was awesome and there's some good messages in here about trust and teamwork. Overall this was a pretty well written and executed film I'd score a solid 7-7.5/10. I'd recommend seeing this once.

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.

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 Justice League is battling various super-villains when Shazam! Comes to help. The newcomer is eager to please and most are impressed. Batman remains suspicious, but the others invite him to the Hall of Justice. They offer him membership as long as he's not a kid.

Shazam! Is already a bit of a comedic superhero. That's why it doesn't change the character to do it in Lego. Batman remains the funniest character in Lego form. This basically becomes DC babies. I wish the whole baby league could fight the worm with baby versions of their powers. The phrase that keeps popping into my mind is "stealing candy from a baby". Mind control is not always the most compelling story. I really wish that the kids would have lesser powers.

A new origin story for the hero Shazam, that delivers in lots of ways, but still doesn't reach the heights of the theatrically released lego movies or the live action film.

The story is pretty great and it's definitely worth a watch, the humour is a little lacking but not totally gone.

Overall this is a decent lego DC film, but it lacks the teeth of some of the other DC animated or lego movies, a great watch for the family though.
