| Die Burger Mariana Malan  Superheld met groot ego én hart. | 15 | |
| 24.com Alex Isaacs For now with Shazam! D.C has got a much-needed dose of lightning in a bottle, and I can’t wait to see more. Hopefully, with some more of the delightful cast and the much-hyped but never-seen (in this edit of the movie) Black Adam as played by Dwayne Johnson. | 20 | |
| ScreenIt Jim Judy You won’t feel trapped watching Shazam! but might wish it was twenty to thirty minutes shorter with a better villain and third act. | 12 |  |
