athn64 and pianolove, Shazam got on my radar fairly early because I was a huge fan of the TV show Chuck, which starred Zachary Levi and a ton of great actors (and which also introduced me to the beautiful Matt Bomer pre-White Collar). I loved Zachary Levi - for me he's just one of those actors you grow very fond of. I never really read Shazam and have only a hazy understanding of the entire Captain Marvel copyright going back and forth between DC, Marvel and Fawcett. But, the trailers look great, and I also want something more or less light hearted. The early reviews are looking terrific, and it sounds like it's actually family friendly as well. I'm actually a kid at heart - I want to be inspired, especially these days. I'm hoping to take a friend for her birthday next week to Shazam, and if not, I'll take myself! I need something cheerful before Endgame. Zachary Levi was awesome in chuck!! He is one of the reasons I wanted to see Shazam, I really liked him in chuck

Got tickets for April 26, 3:05 pm, Imax. Pretty good seats but the really good ones were gone already. AARGH!
ETA - I got emailed confirmation and everything from a Cinemark theater. Was looking at AMC and they're not selling yet I think. Gosh, I hope I have my tickets!

greykitty I actually haven't seen any of the Snyder movies! I just can't stand Ben affleck so him as batman is a deal breaker for me. God, he was horrible as Batman. We purposely avoided watching the horrendous BvsS movie, because hell no to giving them our money. But then it was available for free viewing on our cruise a few years ago. So we got some drinks, took them back to our room, and settled in to mock it. Super fun. Movie still sucked though. Even my superman/batman-loving husband was meh on BvsS and didn't buy it, and he liked Man of Steel (I did not). WW was the only good part of that movie, which I watched for free on HBO or something. I can't stand the dark snyder-verse stuff. Loved Wonder Woman and Aquaman was lots of fun and eye candy. Didn't bother to see Justice League. MH saw Shazam last weekend because there was some preview showing and he said it was really good, but I take it with a grain of salt because he also liked Superman 4 and unironically owns a copy of Battlefield Earth (although admits now how terrible that movie is)

Oh, for me Jason Momoa made Aquaman (loved him in Stargate Atlantis) and I really enjoyed the rest of the cast as well. I'm seeing Shazam this weekend and am looking forward to.

The beauty of Aquaman was that they basically just let Jason Momoa play himself. Oh man, I loved Stargate: Atlantis! I really need to do a rewatch, that series was so much fun

Endgame tickets are on sale!! I can't make it opening weekend but I'm going to try going the week after.
I saw aquaman last night! Stupid amazon never notified me. Anyway it was really fun! It was comic booky, in a good way, and it was just the happy ending I wanted lol. I liked Jason momoa in it, he was very sassy and worked well with Amber heard onscreen.

A friend has an hour wait on Fandango. AMC near me is still not working. I'm now officially amazed I got my tickets this morning.

I just discovered H will be on hitch when the movie comes out, and the kids will be on Spring Break so we might be at my parents. And if H is gone I have no way to get to the theater in the next town over, the good one. So then I might have to just go to the one here. Its all such a mess I dont even know what theater to buy my ticket for. So I might just have to go offline until I can figure it out because if someone spoils it for me I cannot be held responsible for my actions.

Speaking of which do we want to make a new thread for the actual movie or are we good in here? Because I know I will have thoughts as soon as I see it, as will we all, and I dont want to chance spoiling it for everyone else.

We'll be going the second weekend. And I doubt we'll have trouble with tickets in our little area.
We can't go opening weekend because H has a stupid gaming con. That he helps run. So...

Opening weekend is also the weekend of this semester’s play, so we probably can’t go. Hopefully the following weekend will have some good tickets!

I won't be able to go until the weekend after it opens either, so I'll just avoid all internet and human speech for that whole week.

Well, H is going opening weekend, but I won’t be able to I think this will be the first Marvel movie he will see without me the first time.

We got tickets for opening weekend, I'm very excited!
As for the new trailer...I think it gave too much away, I would have rather not see it. I know they may just be toying with us, but still.

Yeah I felt like either they had mercy on their fans re Tony stark or they're fucking with us. Probably they're fucking with us lol. I saw a meme floating around that if marvel could afford to give us those scenes then imagine what bigger scenes they had. I was like this person is an Optimist haha.

Or Tony is hallucinating from lack of oxygen? I’m sure they are fucking with us. MCU is almost as serious about spoilers as Game of Thrones.

Ok the trailers all being Tony's fever dream tops all theories I've seen thus far

Grr. MH is being so particular about buying tickets. He doesn't want to purchase tickets until we've secured a babysitter.
On top of it, he only wants to see it at basically one theater. Which is fine, but that theater doesn't do reserved seating, so we're going to have to get there super early to get good seats. I was hoping to get reserved seats to ensure we got the best seats possible.
