Damn the preview looks cheesy. Am I the only one that’s ODed on super hero movies?

This is just generic as hell. Why do they need to say every minute that they are Mexican?

It looks like a movie generated by an AI taking the typical topics of superheroes and here those of Latinos are added to make the "humor" and throwing them randomly to see what comes out, it's not a disaster but it doesn't transmit anything at all.

Susan Sarandon officially takes the "worst performance in a superhero movie" from Mickey Rourke

Received an invitation to the premiere, and as you guessed, it had very typical superhero tropes. I don't really mind it and kinda dig the light-heartedness. The storyline isn't groundbreaking but the slapstick humor here and there makes it a fun watch. I'm glad I went, it was a great choice to unwind on a midweek evening.

Just another cookie cutter superhero movie. It wasn't that bad, but a lot of cringe-worthy dialog,and subpar acting.

Oh, and I absolutely hated Susan Sarandon in this... What a waste of a talent

I really wanted to like Blue Beetle, but I just couldn't vibe with it - even as someone that liked the Flash, Suicide Squad, and thought the most recent Shazam was okay

Xolo plays Jaime well, but the character himself has no real personality outside of being attracted to Jenny. Susan Sarandon as Victoria Kord was atrocious and ruined my immersion whenever she was on screen, babbling about the exact same thing in every scene

The movie was also incredibly predictable and failed to surprise me in any sense. SXF were dope, the suit was perfect, and Jaime's family had some decent scenes - but the rest fell flat

Not sure why the critics are into this one, although with all the dogshit this genre has been serving up lately, this is probably a little better by virtue of not really trying. Much like _Black Adam_, you can tell right away which superhero films it’s pulling from creatively and it doesn’t bother to put its own spin on it. The Latin migrant experience and gentrification angle is a little interesting. but it doesn’t make up for how generic and low effort everything else is. Just watch this one from the comfort of your own home if you’re interested, that’s how it was intended to be seen anyway.

4/10

I went in with low expectations and was pleased with what I saw. Sometimes it's about that, the expectations created.

Bruna!! :blue_heart:

Considering this is effectively Gunn's DCEU equivalent of Iron Man.

It's (almost) as good as Iron Man, in my opinion. Yes, there's clichés left, right and centre but it does everything it should do, and it does it with so much heart.

DC didn't screw this one up! It's a good origin story and a very well made Blue Beetle, with the right story line. Fun and heart warming with the right amount of action, and loved George Lopez in the movie. Can't wait for the sequel.

Bruna Marquezine is uncommonly beautiful. Now that that's out of the way...

I appreciate how it tries to take on some more serious themes, but there's so much stupidity here that I can't wholeheartedly recommend it. Maybe I'm just getting too old for these movies.
- I lost it at "suit rebooting" - what's the use of a suit that doesn't work half the time?
- When villains attack normal people, they pull their punches so as to give them a chance.
- Dialogue was so predictable I mouthed multiple lines along with the characters.
- Whatever arc there is feels completely unearned.

Was Batgirl really worse than this?

I could gush about this for a long time but I'll keep it short -- it's fantastic. This is going to be a word of mouth hit because there's no one who leaves it who won't want to get other people to see it.

And YOU get an iron man suit..aaaaand YOU get an iron man suit AND YOUUU get an iron man suit ppphhhfffrrrttt

Blue Beetle movie is an incredibly thrilling superhero film that will make you want to cheer on the lead character Jamie Reyes throughout his heroic journey. The film brilliantly showcases the iconic Blue Beetle character and delivers an action-packed story that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

The special effects and visuals are top-notch, immersing the audience into the world of Blue Beetle, and making the action sequences genuinely spectacular. The film's narrative is emotionally charged and grips the viewer from start to finish.

Moreover, the diverse casting and representation in the movie are truly fantastic, with authentic portrayals of Latinx culture, and strong performances from the lead actors.

Overall, the Blue Beetle movie is a must-watch for superhero fans and anyone looking for an exciting, action-packed film with a positive message of perseverance, friendship, and heroism. It's a great example of how the superhero genre can evolve by bringing new and underrepresented characters to the forefront. Can't wait to see this movie.

If they cancel this I'm actually going to sob

Has the full on stink of a mid-2000s generic superhero origin story, Xolo Mariduena does what he can and brings charm to the movie but he can’t save it. The humor is baffling and while there are a few moments, it totally reeks of a made for streaming movie. Gotta give it up for the Cypress Hill needle drop tho.

Incredibly lackluster beginning that failed to give depth to the characters (George Lopez really shined though), got a lot better in the middle and redeemed itself (I'm a sucker for a tight-knit immigrant family), then finished up with a cliché and overdone ending.
