In the eyes of casuals, blue beetle is ant man ripoff.

Superhero in a suit named after an insect.

Add in the venom angle where obscure alien picks reluctant person do bind with. :manny:
Which is hilarious considering that Blue Beetle came out nearly 30 years before Antman.

Blue beetle is what I'd call "highly entertaining trash". This movie had terrible amateurish acting, bad writing, bad special effects like something you'd see from an early 2000s fantastic four movie, but somehow it works in being entertaining. Susan Sarandon clearly showed up for a paycheck, one of the most obviously phones in performances I've seen in a long time. The love interest is a very cute girl, but she had a speech impediment. This woman has a lisp so bad it's ridiculous how she got casted. Clearly a casting couch superstar, because everytime she had to pronounch a word with an "s" in it, it was like she sounded like a cartoon snake.

Now let's get to the other supporting characters, the family. Man, when I tell you this was like a superhero telenovella, they even joke during the movie about the main character's life being similar to a fictional(i believe?) Show in the universe. Everything is so on the nose with the mexican talk, gentrification and other things. So many times in the movie it just gets overly melodramatic. They'll stop everything for some silly bad delivered speech to the main character.

The woman who played the sister, kill her asap. This movie was badly edited, badly written, bad special effects, bad directing, but somehow entertaining. As someone that watched a lot of scifi channel back in the day, this would fit in perfectly. I would not recommend anyone watches this entertaining trash, unless they have absolutely nothing else they could be doing. I'd watch a sequel though :ehh:

movie was way too fukking long... nothing unique happened the whole movie why was it over 2hrs. also, they should've made the love interest the first brazilian female blue beetle instead of some random mexican kid that does nothing heroic until he absolutely has to. she was more of a hero than he was the entire movie. and she had two beetles in her back pocket, that ass was phat. still, george lopez was funny and i mean at least they tried to infuse the movie with a little culture.

I'd watch a sequel with the same characters but everything else overhauled, they cant pump another one out or its gonna be kaput like shazam

It’s a decently entertaining movie. Checks off all the typical superhero origin cliches but the Reyes family were a fun and refreshing new wrinkle. Hopefully Xolo returns as Jaime/BB in James Gunn’s new DC universe.

Ben 10? Antman? DC’s Iron Man? I hate the comparison game but y’all ain’t seen Guyver and it shows :stopitslime:

I’ll still see it. My nephew is with me next week, already taking him to FanExpo the Saturday so I’ll take him to see this on the Sunday.
