The family and Mexican culture give the movie warmth and character but I wish there was more of it and less of the bland goings-on at Kord Industries. Sometimes that’s all you need in a movie like Blue Beetle. The story is by-the-numbers superhero origin story and the villain by Susan Sarandon is lame but Xolo Maridueña is likable and charming in the lead. It’s not some kind of comicbook masterpiece but it’s cute and the cast is likable.

I think a big part of enjoyment of this film goes into expectations. It’s generic but thoroughly watchable and fun. Let me know what you think of these films and what your favorite of the summer turned out to be:īlue Beetle is our latest from DC (who knows whether it is still DCEU or the first of the DCU but I don’t really care…) and after their massive flop with The Flash (which I liked more than most even with its flaws) DC needed a solid likable film and that’s basically what they got here.

Make sure you are following me on instagram because I give my out of theater reaction of every movie and live theatre production I see. The studios have tried a lot and the experimental and unusual has won over the safe and expected. Hey everyone! I hope you are doing well and enjoying what has turned out to be a pretty fascinating summer movie season.
