OK, watched the trailer for the new Fast Movie...
Maybe it’s just me, but... two things:
1. they should’ve cast John Cena as Shazam. He would’ve been delightfully cheesy and the eventual face off with The Rock would be that much sweeter
2. they cast too old for Billy. This series has a short shelf life because of it. I honestly would’ve aimed the franchise at an even younger audience. The movie confused me, it was too inappropriate for young kids and too goofy for adults.
You're not alone.. whilst I enjoyed the movie, I felt weird, sitting there as an adult male, with a buddy... it really did feel like it was aimed for kids.
Which is totally fine.
John Cena - no thanks, not shazam! Billy was good and has a couple more movies I would say... thing is, Billy seemed kinda, reserved, serious... when he was transformed, that didn't translate.. Shazam! was way too jovial and excited - I almost felt that Zack Levi naturally, as himself, in movies, was more akin to Billy.
If anything, Patrick Warburton would have been great and the kid that played Freddy to be Billy.
