I tried watching this on a flight. It was free, I was bored. But I couldn't keep on with it. I might have made it about a third into it before giving up. I switched to Sudoku game on the screen. It was way more childish than I could handle, not what I had hoped for.

I've still not bothered, and probably won't. My take is simply, to steal a line from Captain Mary Sue, ' It wasn't made for me '.
I won't hate on it though, because I like Zach Levy and all, but the original Marvel just never registered w/ me as a kid. He's part time Superman 2.0.
* BTW - we saw Flash and Superman square off and see who was the fastest, though no winner declared. Will we see Superman and Shazam do a similar contest of strength ?

It was definitely made for kids. Nothing wrong with that though. I found it more enjoyable than the two Avengers movies that I saw. Out of the small amount of MCU flicks that I have seen, I'd only rate Deadpool above it. Maybe Guardians 1 as well.

It was a fun flick, we enjoyed it.
A welcome change to the darkness of the latest MCU movies.

Agreed. 
I should also note that the original Captain Marvel was never on my radar and I never got into Shazam either as a kid. Thought the costume was stupid and yeah, figured he was just a dumb superman knockoff.
That's part of the joke though, really. They have a lot of fun with that costume. Great joke with Superman at the end of the movie too.
