Blue Beetle

When I watch a film I don't expect it to be historically accurate, scientifically correct or politically acceptable however I do except it to be enjoyable! This film is 127min long which is 90min too long. Bad acting all round poor, poor story line and mediocre graphics. This a film that reminds me of the 90's children science fiction like power rangers. What especially got on my nerves is the constant shouting and screaming by the actors/characters and the ridiculous jokes that are as funny as watching paint dry.

WB clearly hedging their bets and trying to squeeze everything in to one film just in case there's no sequels. I HOPE THERE IS NO SEQUEL.

Empty, full of cliches, you cannot tolerate it. It is one of the worst productions I have seen in my whole life. What a waste of time. Keep away! The cast is bad, the script is worse.. The characters are joke and intolerable.. I have not written a comment in IMDb for more than five years but I should write this for anyone who thinks watching this thing. Sorry but I cannot call it a movie.. I will not be fair for good ones produced with hardwork. I do not recommend anyone to spend their time watching it. You can do anything else and believe me it will be spending quality time compared to watching this movie.

Anyone who follows DC or even comics as a whole, knows how promising of a character Blue Beetle is in the comics-verse. Guy has been a featuring member of Teen Titans for decades, holding his own as one of the coolest drawn characters that has a very interesting backstory regarding an alien symbiote. The character had immense potential to be turned into a promising live-action film-series out of it. And frankly speaking, I think the cast choice was good as well - they could've pulled off the hype. The only thing that ruined this film, however, is the writing. It's terrible - felt so rushed and low-depth at some points that you'd feel like pausing to not continue watching anymore. CGI was bad for some parts too, but that can still be overlooked as most of it gets the job done quite well. But the writing, man, it's awful. DCU won't have much to build on if they continue doing such pathetic job at writing stories like this.

As a Latino myself, I was looking forward to this film but, I was unfortunately disappointed. I was excited to hear that we had a superhero movie starring a Latino cast coming into the works but, it was executed poorly. There are times when they were trying too hard to portray a Latino family, a bit exaggerated and tried too hard to be funny. The acting from a few of the cast was fine, some of it felt forced. It seems like they didn't put as much heart into this film as they would a Batman film. With some work, this could've been a better viewing experience. Xolo was a great casting choice but could use a bit of work on some of his execution to the character.

It's sad, not unexpected, to say that it's a chore, as you've seen the story told here a thousand times before, no surprises or things new, this will really make you blue, all in all more than two hours, that will bore you through and through. The CGI is not that good, and it will not make you marvel, plus the story is predictable, and I might suggest - quite larval, the acting's amateur, so is the dialogue and score, it's a challenge after watching to applaud and not ignore.

If we're really unlucky they'll make another one that will take us to places increasingly common in the world of Superhero desperation.
