Critics Consensus: El Chicano represents a step forward for representation in superhero cinema -- unfortunately, its clichéd story is nothing more than ordinary.

...let me just say this Latino superhero film is a highly entertaining, wildly innovative, and trailblazing movie...

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

Claudia Puig

It does have some riveting moments and some very strong acting.

Ben Hernandez Bray's "El Chicano" seldom amounts to anything more than a crude prototype for the kind of Latinx-driven superhero movies that Marvel and DC should already be making by now.

Dennis Schwartz

The first all-Latino superhero movie is unfortunately an uninspiring B movie.

[Director Ben Hernandez] Bray wants the film to be another straightforward superhero empowerment narrative. But he keeps stumbling onto complicated questions he doesn't want to acknowledge or resolve.
