‘Shazam!’ Is Quite Possibly the Best DCEU Movie We’ve Ever Had, But That Doesn’t Say Much [Review]

April 3, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

The removal of Zack Snyder in the DCEU seems to have a sparked a wide array of MCU-inspired movies. You know, films filled with meta-humor that don’t take themselves as seriously as, say, “Man of Steel” and “Batman vs Superman.” If Snyder wanted to, so badly, bring the dark layers that Christopher Nolan’s sublime, game-changing Dark Knight trilogy then he was dead-wrong in that decision. The drastically lighter tone shown in post-Snyder movies “Wonder Woman,” and “Aquaman” has none-too-surprisingly led to the hiring of James Gunn for “The Suicide Squad.” It is, after all, because of Gunn that the MCU has had this tonal shift in humor, his 2014 sci-fi romp “Guardians of the Galaxy” changed the game for the MCU and how they were going to handle their ensuing films (just look at “Thor Ragnarok,” “Ant-Man and the Wasp,” “Doctor Strange,” “Captain Marvel.”)
