LEGO DC: Shazam! Magic and Monsters

Well done and entertaining, this movie is a must for DC and Shazam fans. Great introduction to several villains in Shazam's mythology

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.

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.

"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.

Here's a question. Why did we not get an animated Shazam movie sooner? This is definitely a movie that honors the character.
