Nobody cares if you see a movie alone. It's a giant dark room. If you haven't gone to a matinee and had the entire theater to yourself, you're missing out.
Seeing movies in mostly empty theaters is the best... Usually no kids either... Matinees on a weekday during the school year are the best... No having to be bothered by other people...
I went alone and I'll admit I did feel weird walking out of that movie alone. I thought it was gonna be a little more gritty and a little less of a kids movie. Enjoyed it overall though, they got the comedy right at least.

I'm a 49yr old man with a wife and two children 11 and 8 and I went to see Shazam by myself! There's nothing wrong with a person going to the movies alone.
My favorite part is, when the villain does show up, nobody cares. Everyone around Billy, including the cops, is just walking around and going about there business as this creepy flying man in a trenchcoat appears.
I love the depiction of the foster family because a lot of movies paint foster parents, foster homes, etc. as bad, terrible things and in this movie they show this wonderful, loving foster family with parents that used to be foster kids themselves! I love it❤️
I liked Chuck, but I absolutely hate the way they ended it. They should've stopped at the end of the previous season. That would've been a pretty great way to finish out the show's run IMO.
I really liked it. My biggest complaint was that the 7 deadly sins weren't really obviously distinct. With the bright color pallet they used, I wish they made the Sins more obvious. Make Wrath bright red like a fire, make Envy super green, make Greed's 4 hands look like shining gold. They're fake CGI demon monsters that don't have to follow any realism in how they materialize. It might be on the nose, but I think it would work for a movie like this.
@@notwoke9260 Shazam was originally called Captain Marvel for many decades like since before the 1940's. I think he meant this movie being the best Captain Marvel, not that Cheese Head. Get it Brie cheese and in the shazam comic the villain captain marvel cheese head.
@@dash4800 The people I go with are usually quiet, but they always end up looking at their phone and not paying attention which annoys the absolute fuck out of me.
Zachary Levi is certainly an underrated actor in general, I think it’s because he did 5 seasons of a middling spy TV show in the late 2000’s. He as Flynn rider in tangled was good, and him in Shazam is near perfect.
@Anony-mousse Yeah, he played Lionel Luther on Smallville for something like seven seasons. I actually thought it was done intentionally as a bit of metacasting to have him once again play the role of the villains father.
@@BCBaron He was also Dr. Woodrue in Batman and Robin AND voiced the Riddler in Batman: The Animated Series. Also fun fact, there were two deleted scenes with Sivana's family where Glover's character was played by two different actors (one when we see Thadeus Sivana as a kid, and then one in the present day) but test audiences didn't realize they were the same character, so they replaced both scenes with new ones with John Glover as the father.
I am that grown bearded man who went to see it alone. And I loved it. I also grew up watching the TV version of Shazam on Saturday mornings and love comic book movies.
What's going on with the VCR? I hate that their story line has so much filler in it. These two frauds are constantly talking about movies, rather than giving us what we want.
I'm so happy you guys liked this movie because David F. Sandberg is such a great guy who's got a lot of talent. He definitely deserves a lot of praise. THANKS RED LETTER MEDIA!
Just watched it. The scene where the villain is monologuing and Shazam can't hear him because they're a mile apart was absolutely fucking brilliant and legitimately made me laugh like a loon. This is an adorable little movie.
I want you guys to know that despite the hatred that people give Half in the Bag. You guys probably won't see this, but HitB is what made me fall in love with your guys' channel. That got me into Best of the Worst and then Plinkitt Reviews. Love this! Hope you guys do too!
That movie sucked ass. The Rocketeer was shit. It was shit when it came out and it's shit in 2019. The only decent thing to come from The Rocketeer is the half decent video games about it, and I mean HALF DECENT, not great but not terrible either.
This is some of the most eloquent Mike we’ve ever seen. I started chuckling when he compared movies to cakes but then he made it work with further Jay-level analysis. And I clapped.
When I saw the movie someone's toddler kept wandering down the aisle. Like, away from its parents. Who didn't seem to even notice their baby was gone until it disappeared behind the front row of seats. I may have gone to the same showing of Shazam as Billy Batson and his mother.
Loved Shazam! Took my kids, and yeah they both found the scary parts scary but it probably made them appreciate the good guys doing something good for a change. And it was hilarious. We quoted it all day.

But she kills conscripts. Regular people force-drafted into army who'll get court marshalled if they don't follow orders (if not shot on the spot). When she gets to a place with officers, people actually calling all of this, she just walks around in a dress and then leaves.
John Glover played Lionel Luthor in smallville, and was an absolute treasure.
Testify!
I'm a 49yr old man with a wife and two children 11 and 8 and I went to see Shazam by myself! There's nothing wrong with a person going to the movies alone.
Why by yourself? You do have people to see it with
@@cameronroy2129 I enjoy doing things alone. I have absolutely no problem going to see a movie or going to a restaurant by myself.
My favorite part is, when the villain does show up, nobody cares. Everyone around Billy, including the cops, is just walking around and going about there business as this creepy flying man in a trenchcoat appears.
No matter what I watch, RUclips recommends a Red Letter Media video next.
Dan Nolan Finally, some good fucking recommendations
I love the depiction of the foster family because a lot of movies paint foster parents, foster homes, etc. as bad, terrible things and in this movie they show this wonderful, loving foster family with parents that used to be foster kids themselves! I love it❤️
John Glover is secretly the father of all villains of DC. He was also the father of Lex Luthor in Smallville XD
and made Uma Thurman Poison Ivy
Mike said "i loved it!" in the same tone he uses when he in reality hates something...
When you ooze sarcasm it's hard to sound genuine
That’s the genius of drunk cynical old men
Love and hate have fused together to become the same emotion in Mike's broken soul.
It's the worst film I've ever seen.
Never quite sure when that is serious either.
1:57
I'm not gay and I'm not into strip clubs.
That’s definitely gay
U are gay
Captain save a ho.
Kikanator96 you gay
Teen boys are all into strip clubs.
Zachery Levi is in CHUCK! Such a classic show! Can't believe y'all don't know about Chuck
@Swarley751 Mmmm...cake
I liked Chuck, but I absolutely hate the way they ended it. They should've stopped at the end of the previous season. That would've been a pretty great way to finish out the show's run IMO.
I was wondering if Shazam was going to snap the villians neck
Or fingers?
Badum-tsss.
He did, but then cried so it's okay.
I'm a grown man and I went to see that movie on my own, you buncha HACKS.
Seth Young Ruiz how pathetic
I really liked it. My biggest complaint was that the 7 deadly sins weren't really obviously distinct. With the bright color pallet they used, I wish they made the Sins more obvious. Make Wrath bright red like a fire, make Envy super green, make Greed's 4 hands look like shining gold. They're fake CGI demon monsters that don't have to follow any realism in how they materialize. It might be on the nose, but I think it would work for a movie like this.
I agree.
The best Captain Marvel movie I have seen this year. also I loved the jab at aquaman at the end.
Say what you will. Aquaman is way better than captain marvel . Mostly because aquaman was an actually competent FILM
@@notwoke9260 Shazam was originally called Captain Marvel for many decades like since before the 1940's. I think he meant this movie being the best Captain Marvel, not that Cheese Head. Get it Brie cheese and in the shazam comic the villain captain marvel cheese head.
@@notwoke9260 They both suck, thanks for letting me say that
Hah! I shaved before seeing it alone. Take that you hacks!
I'm a grown bearded man who watched Shazam alone. The grown bearded man discrimination must stop. :)
This beard shaming must stop!!
If I didn't see movies alone I wouldn't see any. Who wants to watch movies with their asshole friends ruining everything?
The oppression!
@@dash4800 The people I go with are usually quiet, but they always end up looking at their phone and not paying attention which annoys the absolute fuck out of me.
I don't have a beard, but I did my part to see this movie alone. lol
26:30 As a bearded man who went to go see Shazam! by myself, I feel personally attacked.
Okay
Same lol
It's a joke, Jesus. If you really care about falling into the neckbeard stereotype that much just fucking shave.
@@uwirl4338 pretty sure they were joking, dude
are we sure that wasn't Rich Evans?
Zachary Levi is certainly an underrated actor in general, I think it’s because he did 5 seasons of a middling spy TV show in the late 2000’s. He as Flynn rider in tangled was good, and him in Shazam is near perfect.
He also voiced Arcade Gannon! One of my fav characters in Fallout. Great voice performances by him there
I was about to go see this by myself and then Mike said "don't see this by yourself" so I guess I'm not going now
I went alone, but I went at 11am on a school day. Pick your moments to do something weird!
Don't go as that creepy lonely guy in a screening full of moms and their kids. Then you should be fine.
Its ok if you shave your beard off.
It's okay if you're short.
It's okay if you're a child in a man's body
Turning off the car and getting out of my garage for this!
That de-escalated quickly!
"The fat kid was the most underrepresented in the whole movie."
"Yeah, he was the least fleshed out."
Ironic, isn't it?
Nothing ironic about it at all. He had plenty of screen time we know plenty about him, for the fact that he's not that important.
@@zekezzekekan2144 think you missed the joke ngl
Did mike forget that John Glover was in an episode of STAR TREK DEEP SPACE 9
@Anony-mousse Yeah, he played Lionel Luther on Smallville for something like seven seasons. I actually thought it was done intentionally as a bit of metacasting to have him once again play the role of the villains father.
@@BCBaron He was also Dr. Woodrue in Batman and Robin AND voiced the Riddler in Batman: The Animated Series. Also fun fact, there were two deleted scenes with Sivana's family where Glover's character was played by two different actors (one when we see Thadeus Sivana as a kid, and then one in the present day) but test audiences didn't realize they were the same character, so they replaced both scenes with new ones with John Glover as the father.
He also shows up in Heroes. Does anyone remember Heroes?
The last jedi was about a purple haired woke lady that crashed into a stardestroyer. I love that jab
So much that you just wrote the entire thing out in a comment as though you had something to say about it
a Star Destroyer named Supremacy, as in White Supremacy, the most subtle type of politics
if only instead of purple haired woke lady it was admiral ackbar
She got a better death than Luke Han and Leia
I'm happy to see that Mike and Jay are all about enforcing NO SINGLE POLICY at the Kinoplex.
I see a branded has survived.
Can we get a Nerd Crew for episode 9 trailer?
They told me to tell you that it's "very cool... VERY cool!"
I am that grown bearded man who went to see it alone. And I loved it. I also grew up watching the TV version of Shazam on Saturday mornings and love comic book movies.
Ah yes, the Mines of Mornia.. my favorite LOTR location :D
Ashes and Diamonds haha so I’ve heard
Tolkien conceived of Mornia while in World War 2 trenches
You know; where Smauuuuuugue lives.
I loved the part when Glandof yelled “you will not get around me!!!!” Classic.
What's going on with the VCR? I hate that their story line has so much filler in it. These two frauds are constantly talking about movies, rather than giving us what we want.
I'm so happy you guys liked this movie because David F. Sandberg is such a great guy who's got a lot of talent. He definitely deserves a lot of praise. THANKS RED LETTER MEDIA!
Just watched it. The scene where the villain is monologuing and Shazam can't hear him because they're a mile apart was absolutely fucking brilliant and legitimately made me laugh like a loon. This is an adorable little movie.
Please don't make any more jokes about lonely bearded men watching superhero movies alone. They hurt.
😂😂
@@ThreadBomb it's been established that they don't have any intentions of reaching 1M subscribers
Superhero movies are the only time I can get friends to come to the movies. Everything else is just one lonely bearded ticket.
I already hate myself so I can't feel any worse.
They make KFC to ease the pain.
Shazam, if an actually good superman movie and a non-edgelord deadpool had a magic baby!
"Non edgelord deadpool" so spiderman?
I didn't like it..... Too kiddy kiddy. Bad villain.
terrible english
That isn't what "edge" means.
''non edge lord deadpool'' facepalm.... now you sound like an edgy loser... oh the irony
The complete opposite of Captain Marvel...i love it 😂
I want you guys to know that despite the hatred that people give Half in the Bag. You guys probably won't see this, but HitB is what made me fall in love with your guys' channel. That got me into Best of the Worst and then Plinkitt Reviews. Love this! Hope you guys do too!
With The Rocketeer and this there's a theme od classic fun popcorn superhero flicks going on.
That movie sucked ass. The Rocketeer was shit. It was shit when it came out and it's shit in 2019.
The only decent thing to come from The Rocketeer is the half decent video games about it, and I mean HALF DECENT, not great but not terrible either.
Yaay! David Sandberg, you finally won these hacks over on one.
i know about that red stain... ravioli ravioli whats in the pocketoli!
The secret is putting a sandwich baggie in the pocket first.
This is some of the most eloquent Mike we’ve ever seen. I started chuckling when he compared movies to cakes but then he made it work with further Jay-level analysis. And I clapped.
I APPLAUDED IT FOR BEING DIFFERENT!
IT BROKE NEW GROUND!!!!
I clapped I clapped when I saw the notification
@@mattgilbert7347 you beat me by 50 seconds...
@@mattgilbert7347 You crossed the line sir... Disgusting... The clap is one thing .. but your comment makes me want to vomit.
I shit my pants!
Gotta give it up!
Mike's alcoholism is causing his blood pressure to raise. But only in his hands...
I'm surprised you guys didn't talk more about the villain, great room for jokes about how Mark Strong looks a lot like Jeff Bezos.
Someone else noticed! I wonder if it was deliberate?
Mark Strong needs to play Egg Salad in the remake of Diamond Cobra. (R.I.P. that Best of the Worst episode.)
This one is at the top of my watch on a plane list.
"The fat kid was the least fleshed out."
The least fleshed out? Or the most fleshed out?
Connor Martin 😂
Thank god you explained it .
LMAOOOOO
Love the slow decent into chaos this storyline is descending into.
It already did and they had to get an alien to reset the timeline. It's like poetry.
Hi, Dan the man!
FakeNewsBot it can only get worse
There’s a storyline?
ButtonMasher yes and it’s about fixing mr plinkets VCR
When I saw the movie someone's toddler kept wandering down the aisle. Like, away from its parents. Who didn't seem to even notice their baby was gone until it disappeared behind the front row of seats.
I may have gone to the same showing of Shazam as Billy Batson and his mother.
Such a touching moment when Mike talks about, but never reveal, the moment he saw Mr plinkett in the audience. Such a gentleman he is.
"The mines of Mortia" - Jay Bauman
I'm pretty sure he said "mornia" and at this point I don't know which is worse.
Ricks of Mortias
Wait a minute... Mike and Jay actually LIKE MOVIES???
Same with YourMovieSucks. Has Shazam brainwashed them?
Only when they get paid enough
Dc hacks! They hate on marvel movies!!! How much did Snyder pay them??? The system is rigged!!!!!!!
@@Castragroup let me guess: you are in fact superior to most people because of your subjective taste in movies?
@@Castragroup Please tell me what is okay for me to like, O God amongst men?
Loved Shazam! Took my kids, and yeah they both found the scary parts scary but it probably made them appreciate the good guys doing something good for a change. And it was hilarious. We quoted it all day.
Yeah, nobody's seen John Glover since Gremlins 2? Except his decade on Smallville.
