SHAZAM! – 5 Reasons This Is A Must-See Super Hero Movie [Win Free Tix Now!]

Shazam!

Shazam!

DC Comics is at it again with yet another feature film, this time adapting the kid who can transform into a superhero, just by shouting SHAZAM!

We all had the dream of being a superhero, now we get to see a kid actually live it out on the big screen. DC is committed to bringing heroes to the big screen and it looks like this one may be the one to send them over the top.

Here’s 5 reasons you should get ready to go out and see Shazam! when it arrives in theaters this Friday, April 5! [Check out each reason and enter to win your own pair of passes!]


…

Just think about all those times you thought you could fly like Superman, or had the speed of the Flash, Billy Batson gets to live that very dream. Just from the previews alone I know I would react the same way, “HOLY SH*T! I have super powers?!” Give it a chance.

DC has a pretty good track record with origin stories. They don’t rush much. They introduce the character and the importance of why he is chosen to take on the power of Shazam! What separates ______ from everyone else who does good deeds? Go check this one out and find out!

Shazam! is a more comedic superhero than most of DC. The ‘realism’ behind DC comics is put pretty much on the back burner in this series. Hopefully we are not misled from the trailers, and should be a fun time at the movies.

DC does great with its television shows, but in regards to the big screen, they are still finding their way to consistency. I know, we are waiting for Wonder Woman 1984 at the end of the year, but before we get there, Shazam! is the one in the foreground who needs some attention as well. Let’s give it to him.

It’s that time of year again for the BIG budget movies to start hitting the screen. This one is no different. Marvel will have its grand finale soon, but before you do that, grab the family, get some popcorn and soda, then go see Shazam! It should be an enjoyable time for everyone.

Shazam is DC’s big chance this summer to get themselves on track to get people excited about more DC films. We all know Wonder Woman 1984 is coming this fall, but DC needs Shazam to be a success to build the momentum for that release. Let’s give it a chance to succeed and get out to support Shazam before we get to Wonder Woman.

Just when it seemed like the DC Extended Universe was dead and buried thanks to the sh*t show that was The Justice League, James Wan’s critically acclaimed Aquaman breathed some new life into the film world of DC superheroes. But can SHAZAM! keep the life support going?

Though we still have an issue with the over-the-top ridiculousness of the superhero suit and it’s short cape, the new trailer continues to make the film seem entertaining and fun with a few action sequences followed by comedic moments that reminds everyone that it’s the body of a man but the mind of a teen that’s inside Shazam.

Check out the latest trailer below and let us know if you’ll be checking for SHAZAM! come April 5.

Apple Acquires Shazam For $400 million

Another day, another company purchased. We reported on Pandora being acquired by SiriusXM yesterday, now Shazam has been bought by Apple.

The long-rumored deal was finalized yesterday (Sept.24) with tech giant dropping $400 million on the app and officially announced by Apple on its website. Speaking on Apple’s latest acquisition, Oliver Schusser vice president of Apple Music added:

“Apple and Shazam have a long history together. Shazam was one of the first apps available when we launched the App Store and has become a favorite app for music fans everywhere. With a shared love of music and innovation, we are thrilled to bring our teams together to provide users even more great ways to discover, experience and enjoy music.”

The insanely popular music identification app has been downloaded over a billion times with users utilizing the app to recognize songs 20 million times each day. There is no specific word on what Apple has in store with the purchase of the app, but some believe it could lead to the company significantly improving Siri, its voice recognition software. Despite having one of the most popular smartphones in the world with the iPhone, it lags behind the likes of Google for example voice assistant.

Also, Apple’s acquisition of Shazam could help them gain ground in the streaming wars closing that 23 million user gap between Apple Music and Spotify. The sky is officially the limit now for Apple, we are looking forward to the fruits this acquisition will bare.
