All 7 superhero movies of 2019 ranked from worst to best
4. Shazam!
Released: April 5, 2019
Good old-fashioned superhero fun couldn’t sum up a movie more than it sums up Shazam! The live-action debut for the eponymous DC Comics hero, the film starred Zachary Levi in the titular role and was nothing short of a comic book gem as it made audiences smile with enjoyment.
Smart-mouthed teenager Billy Batson is forced to take a break from his search for his birth mother when he is bestowed with a gift he never wanted – that gift being none other than the super powers of a godly being known as Shazam. What follows is a tale full of humor, heroes and a heck of a lot of heart as Billy must recognize the most important things in his life in order to become the hero he never wanted to be.
