An admirable introduction of the character to the DCU and an exciting film that had actual consequences. It encompasses themes of family, displacement, responsibility and culture, and it is so authentically Latino, audiences will be cracking up.

Blue Beetle does contain glimmers of something fresh, but it also feels like too little, too late in the face of oncoming changing tide in audience tastes.

The Blue Beetle emerges as a noble superhero, so averse to wanton violence that it’s amusing to watch him apologize to some of the villains he’s forced to defend himself against.

Blue Beetle is the kind of throwback that reminds us just how far we’ve come with comic book movies... Especially when the studio behind them plays it so safe, the end result is as bland and flavorless as this.

There's a raid on the family home by Kord's private army that's easily the most emotionally devastating scene in any 21st century DC movie (you heard me, Martha), and would stand toe-to-toe with many of Marvel's as well.
