3.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BELIEVE AMAZON'S REVIEW! NOT SUPER HERO HIGH!, August 21, 2006

By 

Marcus H. Smilfer "mercer-" (Chicagoland, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shazam: Black Adam's Return [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This tape is all animation of the DC Superheroes Captain Marvel, Cap. Marvel Jr. and Mary Marvel and has absolutely NO footage of the old "Super Hero High" live-action series from the 70's. Amazon's review of this item is wrong; NONE of the actors mentioned appear on this short (25 minutes) tape. The animation is great and the plot is actually good (rare for Filmation's attempts with DC heroes), so if you are a fan of Shazam (Captain Marvel) then buy a copy. However, please notice that this tape is recorded in SLP mode and the playback may not be very good on your VCR. If you are not a fan of the Big Red Cheese, save your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not The Live Action Shazam of the Early Seventies, July 6, 2011

This review is from: Shazam: Black Adam's Return [VHS] (VHS Tape)

These were animated, came out in the early eighties, and accompanied THEN with the Kid Super Power Hour show, but this is not the Kid Super Power Hour program, this is only the Shazam adventure.

Straight up watch if you want hero antics, which is what I was after at the time.

These are what I call Filmation shows (Archie, He man, Fat Albert, Batman, Tarzan, Waldo kitty, Lone Ranger, Blackstar, etc.) as they all have near to the same stock music which often drowns out and carries the episode. Expect about the same here.

Still, it's the Captain Marvel solo adventure of the then-much more popular Superfriends.

Lot of stock music and voicework. over before it can really start getting annoying.

5.0 out of 5 stars CAP'S BACK!, August 5, 2002

This review is from: Shazam: Black Adam's Return [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As a old fan of the original captian marvel it's a joy to see one of my childhood heros again on any format. As I've been telling my son there was a mortal hero equal to superman now I can show him what I was talking about.
