Shazam! Marvelous Edition

This edit improves on an already wonderful film. Great job!
I loved the theatrical cut, but I prefer this edit. There were a few scenes that bothered me in the TC, and I was very happy to see them gone - mostly the triggering car accident in the beginning and the fan-servicing Superman at Lunch Time.
The deleted and alternate scenes improve the film significantly, imho. They add subtext, enhance the emotional connection with the characters and are simply fun.
The technical aspects of the film are flawless. The scenes are integrated beautifully and the narrative flows smoothly. Well done! :)

I have to qualify this recommendation based on what you expect. Firstly, I did NOT like this movie. (My review is here: https://letterboxd.com/film/shazam/) If you're expecting that these alternate scenes will improve the character development or add more depth, I wouldn't recommend this. In many of the scenes, I can see why they were cut or reshot. I think the theatrical versions are less cheesy (though often still cheesy) and work better in terms of the flow of the film. So this version is not going to improve the film for most people.
However, if you already like the film a lot and just want an alternate way to view it, this will do the trick. The edits are mostly quite smooth and well done, except for a couple of visual transitions where the screen was black for noticeably long (about 5 seconds) between added scenes. It's also debatable if the opening scene repeats the one that occurs just after, where really a choice should be made about which version of the opening to include, instead of both.
I really didn't enjoy this film much, but that's not the editor's fault. So I can't give a "1" as my enjoyment score here. But in terms of improving my enjoyment of the theatrical, I think that cut actually works better for me, hence the "7" here. The way the three ending scenes were added with the credits was also a bit odd...I think I might have juggled those around or something, too. So this edit is a decent way to rewatch, but not a shelf-replacer for me.

"Marvelous" job!

Great edit! I thoroughly enjoyed this edit. I enjoyed the original, but was never a fan of how old the dad looked at the beginning (the car crash scene) then like 45 years later he looked exactly the same. This gets rid of that. All of the changes in this improve upon an already good movie. Great job!
The only ding I gave this was for some special effects in the beginning that don't look complete, otherwise the editing work was perfect.

The Marvelous Edition of Shazam! is a quality edit of the original film that reintegrates alternative scenes in the film. While most may not agree that all the scenes should be replaced by the cut versions—the alternative opening suits the tone of the film much better than the original. It is much lighter than the car accident and fits the Christmas theme of the movie. The scenes are cut in seamlessly and I very much enjoy the two Shazam family scenes. However, I do miss the Superman cameo. This cut is an enjoyable edit without any jarring cuts or audio/visual issues and I would recommend this if you are looking for more Shazam family or if you want a different viewing experience.
