THE SHAZAMILY JOINS THE DCEU!! Shazam! Full Movie Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects

With Superman & the DCU soaring at the Global Boxoffice + Peacemaker Season 2 on the horizon, Andrew & Tara RETURN to their DCEU Marathon giving their Shazam! Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis & Spoiler Review!!

Andrew Gordon & Tara Erickson react to the electrifying 2018 DC Extended Universe film Shazam!, directed by David F. Sandberg (Lights Out, Annabelle: Creation). A refreshing blend of superhero action and heartfelt comedy, Shazam! follows 14-year-old Billy Batson (Asher Angel – Andi Mack, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series), a foster kid who is granted the ability to transform into an adult superhero (Zachary Levi – Chuck, Tangled) by the ancient wizard Shazam (Djimon Hounsou – Gladiator, Guardians of the Galaxy). With the help of his foster brother Freddy Freeman (Jack Dylan Grazer – It, Luca), Billy must learn to harness his newfound powers while navigating teenage life in a grown-up’s body.

The film's main villain, Dr. Thaddeus Sivana, is played by Mark Strong (Kingsman, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), a man corrupted by the Seven Deadly Sins and bent on stealing Shazam's powers. As Billy embraces his heroic destiny, he discovers the importance of family and teamwork, especially when his foster siblings—played by Grace Caroline Curry, Meagan Good, Michelle Borth, Ross Butler, Adam Brody, and D.J. Cotrona—transform into a team of adult superheroes in one of the film’s most crowd-pleasing, highly searched moments: the Shazam Family reveal. Packed with hilarious training montages, heartfelt family dynamics, and high-stakes action—especially the final battle at a winter carnival—Shazam! stands out as one of the most joyful entries in the DCEU.
