Blue Beetle Ratings & Reviews
- Zokkiie5 dgn geledenThis one’s surprisingly fun. It hits some bumps here and there, but it’s full of energy and charm. The lead keeps things lively, the action is flashy without feeling overdone, and the humor actually lands more often than you’d expect. But honestly, the show-stealer is the abuela—there’s this one moment where she goes full Che Guevara, eyes blazing, giving a tiny revolution speech, and you can’t help but cheer. She’s hilarious, fearless, and somehow makes every scene she’s in better. Overall, it’s entertaining, heartfelt, and just a really fun ride—you’ll leave smiling.
- Otacon!25 februari 2026I've watched this movie two times, no more. It's normal for me to re-watch movies because I can't judge a product the as it deserve with a single run. I've never read the DC comic so I can only write my movie thought. First off, CGI and lighting in this movie are ok, interesting and not so aggressive as the original media cover shows us: like a neon style movie. Appreciated. The cast is ok, I didn't sympathized whit any character. The story OF THE MOVIE is.. ok, nothing special. Personally I will not watch it another time, don't think so, because it didn't give anything. I don't feel the desire to know more about the characters that the movie showed me. For me is a 2 stars on 5
- Varun19 oktober 2024Simple but entertaining and filled with heart. I’m a fan of Xolo Maridueña in Cobra Kai and I’m glad to see him getting bigger roles. It was great to see George Lopez too, he nailed it with the comedy. I would’ve liked to see some of the fights with Blue Beetle happen during the day, literally all of them happened at night or in a dark setting. The CGI was pretty decent though, there was never a moment that took me out of the film. Although the story leaning more towards the family aspect is great, I also wanted to see some lore on the origins of the scarab and more conversations between it and Jaime. I like how the character was portrayed in the Young Justice show, whereas the movie didn’t fully show me who Blue Beetle is even though they fleshed out Jamie’s character. Overall an enjoyable film and I really hope this version of Blue Beetle makes it over to the new DCU reboot.
- Kain14 maart 2025i realized the dude from cobra kai can’t act. he really just being himself and has no range. movie was ehh, what soured it for me is that they killed off the dc extended universe, so i felt like it was pointless to watch it.
- Tobi_9228 oktober 2024Verry nice
- gibbens7 september 2025I know this movie had some woke overtones, and that kind of crap but… I love this movie. I like the whole family dynamic, I think the characters were great, and I think the story was fun. There are some things in there they could’ve left out white men aren’t coming to steal your neighborhoods, but, if you can look past that crap (which I honestly believe some many of us have had to learn to do that in the past five years or so) it is a pretty fun film Is it perfect? Hell no. You definitely have to shut your mind off for it, but I enjoyed it.
- Kevin Ward2 juli 2025Blue Beetle excels when it focuses on the Reyes family unit, living in their culture and cultural experience. The Latino representation is a refreshing inclusion largely absent from blockbuster filmmaking. Xolo Maridueña makes for a charismatic lead and I hope his star continues to rise. The underlying story, however, is a well-worn superhero origin tale devoid of much originality. There’s plenty of fun to be had, though, and my kids and I certainly did. The pulsating synth score felt like it was pulled straight out of Stranger Things (complimentary). The visual effects and action sequences looked extremely polished compared to some other recent blockbuster films. The humor and overall silliness sometimes really works, and other times it descends into eye-roll inducing fart gags. And unfortunately, I did not care for Susan Sarandon’s profiteering, mustache-twirling villainess. Her character had zero regard for human-life (including her own niece), and isn’t imbued with any complexity of character whatsoever. Negative’s aside, I had an excellent time at the theater and hope it does well at the box office. The representation and cultural inclusion shines well above the conventional superhero origin. And Bruna Marquezine 🔥🔥🔥
- mickerdoo28 augustus 2025Despite obvious similarity to others in the genre, I really enjoyed it. Great casting, cool effects and exciting action. Lopez was spot on.

- levi_v110 november 2025Solid mid. Good sad scenes though. 3 stars
- Dellvon C. Ford28 december 2024This was flat out an awesome movie..much like the comic book it was culturally rich...and tastefully poked fun at the things that most wouldn't get to see if not on the inside of the Latino culture...The adaptation was solid...the cast was phenominal....the fx were awesome....the action fluctuated...I personally think it could have been a lot better....a d the inserted comedy seemed organic.....Its an awesome movie for comic book lovers......and kids alike.....Great to show off your sound system and big screens....
