This DC Showcase short is a tad longer than the rest, it stands at around 25 minutes and is about Billy Batsons rise to become the superhero known as Captain Marvel.
We see Superman jump in and save young Billy from Black Adam, but my biggest complaint is that this is a big story and 25 minutes simply doesn't suffice.
Alike the other showcases this is very well animated, has a great voice cast and is well written. Sadly it all feels rushed and I struggled to get into it.
Well worth a watch for fans of the DC Showcase shorts, but I feel it was a bit underwhelming.
The Good:
Well animated
The Bad:
Story is simply too big for 25 minutes
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
This has actually made me want a live action Shazam movie, but I fear I'll regret saying that
