在去年底以《水行俠》（Aquaman）再度開出好成績之後，華納兄弟影業今年的全新 DC 超級英雄電影《沙贊！》（Shazam!）肯定也相當受到期待，雖然此片要等到下個月才上映，不過日前國外已經釋出了首波媒體評價，而如同先前已經從預告中感受到了，有別於早先幾部較於陰暗的風格，《沙贊！》整體上可說是歡樂許多，此外，也有不少人提到此片的家庭元素也是相當重要的情感核心，另外在選角方面也獲得了普遍的大力讚賞。
Collider 主編史蒂夫溫特勞布（Steven Weintraub）： 喜歡《沙贊！》，超級有趣，非常好笑（有好幾次觀眾笑到我沒聽到台詞），而這也是電影公司打算要做的：《飛進未來》（Big）遇上超人，柴克瑞李維（ Zachary Levi）是完美的選角，但真正的驚喜是傑克狄倫葛雷澤（Jack Dylan Grazer）。關於《沙贊！》另一個很棒的地方是，DC 並沒有試著將其完美的嵌入在更龐大的 DC 宇宙中，就是專注在做好這部電影，並且讓其獲得滿堂彩，DC 現在肯定是處於一個連勝的狀態，這也是為什麼會有陶德菲利普斯（Todd Phillips）的《小丑》（Joker）。
loved #Shazam. It's super fun, very funny (a few times people were laughing so loud I missed dialogue), and exactly what they set out to make: 'Big' meets Superman. @ZacharyLevi is perfectly cast but the real surprise is @Jgrazerofficial as Freddy Freeman. Steals the show. pic.twitter.com/ssvs8Dwc2P

Another thing that's great about #Shazam is #DC didn't try and make a movie that fits in perfectly with the larger DC Universe. They just focused on making a great Shazam movie and hit a homerun. DC is def on a winning streak. Bring on Todd Phillips 'Joker'! pic.twitter.com/sH1kyprCMZ

ET Now 主播艾希克羅森（Ash Crossan）：在我的個人觀點裡，《沙贊！》幾盡完美，是我目前最喜歡的 DC 電影。非常的純真、有趣，充滿了各種內部梗，讓我帶著像孩子一般的歡樂來看這部電影。這個角色是為柴克瑞李維量身打造的，還有亞瑟安傑爾（Asher Angel）、傑克狄倫葛雷澤以及全體卡司都是。
#Shazam was damn near PERFECT in my book. My FAVORITE DC movie (DCEU? What are we saying now?) by far. Pure of heart, incredibly funny, full of in-jokes and references. Brought me a childlike joy to watch. This role was MADE for @ZacharyLevi... & Jack & Asher & the entire cast pic.twitter.com/rVrxjcwvCe

io9 娛樂記者傑爾曼路席爾（Germain Lussier）：《沙贊！》又是 DC 另一場勝仗，當然，你所期待一部超級英雄電影該有的幽默與動作場面都有，但《沙贊！》的情感使它更上一層，家庭故事就位於其核心。我對英雄／反派的觀點有點小意見，但關於家庭的描述是相當生動且有力的。
Shazam! is another win for DC. Sure, the humor & action you'd expect from a superhero film are there, but #ShazamMovie stands out because of the emotional, family story at its center. I had some small issues with the hero/villain aspects but the family stuff is dynamic & powerful pic.twitter.com/FYM3QVp5hu

Fandango 總編輯埃瑞克戴維斯（Erik Davis）：《沙贊！》是一部懷抱雄心、滑稽、可愛的電影，不像任何 DC 之前所拍的。肯定有著湯姆漢克斯（Tom Hanks）所主演的《飛進未來》的脈絡，但還有著超級英雄動作場面以及暗藏了大量的蝙蝠俠與超人素材。我非常喜歡這部電影，看完之後很想要給一個大大的擁抱，DC 電影越來越好了。
#Shazam is big, goofy, lovable, and unlike anything DC has done before. Definitely in the vein of Tom Hanks' BIG, but with superhero action & lots of Batman and Superman references. I dug this film so much I wanted to give it a bear hug at the end. DC's movies keep getting better pic.twitter.com/WQJgo61gMg

Cinema Blend 編輯艾瑞克艾森伯格（Eric Eisenberg）：DC 終於建立了一次穩固的運作，《沙贊！》是讓人感到開心的一部電影。其熟悉的起源故事架構是可以讓人接受的，因為還呈現出了許多新鮮的東西，主要是其歡樂的氛圍、像孩子般的熱情，以及在家庭上的暖心觀點。此外，這是柴克瑞李維生來註定要詮釋的角色。
DC is finally building a solid run: #Shazam is a delight! Its familiar origin structure is forgivable because of all the new it brings to the table - primarily it's gleeful, childlike enthusiasm, & heartfelt perspective on family. It's also the role Zachary Levi was born to play. pic.twitter.com/5zXtfFDBGm
