This movie has a great premise even though it's pretty similar with the DC movie Shazam, but had some problem.
First, i dont really care about Ali character, it obviously underdeveloped from the start, i dont know him as a character unless a boy who love drawing and lost his mother. I dont find the urge to why Ali need to find his mother, despite he lost his mother (physically), i dont see it like he lost the family as a whole.
Second, the Queens gang are just annoying to Ali, i dont see it as a family replacement quality, the way Ali come back to the Queens after they ask Ali to come back to his homeland is just weird and make the ending less impactful.
Third, the mother motivation throughout the movie was bad, and treated us as a viewer like an idiot, who just approve anything without anything.
This movie has a lot of potential, i know what the writer want to tell us but didn't executed well.
