The film has a very weak story, equally weak acting. I wonder if Hollywood is still capable of making a movie with a minimum level of quality. At best this movie should have gone straight to the streaming service, skipping theaters.

It felt like a Power Rangers flick with an emphasis on family. No one on the cast is likeable, the script felt like a first draft, the comedy sticks no landing whatsoever, and the comedic-relief (George Lopez) is mumbling his lines so much you can barely decipher the joke he's trying to tell.

The core concept for this was actually rather good but the execution was not. The script could have gone through a few redo's and have people question the actions of several characters.

Awful movie that does not take itself seriously. Cringefest, jokes are so cliché it hurts.

Cringefest, jokes are so cliché it hurts. There isn't a single intelligent character - do not expect them to be logical or use common sense - the very caricature of an exaggerated personality makes them unsympathetic. Expecting to learn more about the blue beetle? Forget it, the alien artifact gets much explanation as an instant noodles instruction. What is said to be a conscious being gets reduced to being Alexa.

The hero's journey is faulty by the sheer lack of importance and sympathy given to the characters, and most import: the lack of overcoming a challenge to become a hero. The battles are okay, good CGI and VFX. This could be part of the Fast and Furious franchise, that's how bad it is. Do not waste your time nor give money to studios that treat you like a fool.

I don't know what I was expecting but I guess if your expectations are low going in then you can't really get that disappointed right? Wrong the movie is junk.

It's a disney channel movie disguised as a DC film. The acting is terrible, the characters are annoying, the love interest is boring af, and there is no tension or impact at all for me to feel engaged or emotional. **** this movie, the flash is great

Blue Beetle from "Don't Care Universe"... "Well my job is done!". Team Batman, BTW! ...that strange situation when the director and actors managed to discourage me from seeing the film. Bravo! Good job!

The movie focuses a lot on family/dialogue and not on action and battle. the hero's design is also very rotten and nothing innovative, it's just Venom mixed with iron Man painted blue .

The cast tries, which is why I didn't give it a 0, but it is so generic and cliche that it was hard to get into. Literally, everything bad that can happen happens to this family - Jobs are lost, they're losing their house due to financial problems, the house is eventually lost in a fire, and a family member dies. We are beaten over the head with so many of these cliches in order to get us to rally around these characters and it just doesn't work. The villains are equally bland with the secondary villain having all of maybe 10 lines of dialogue throughout the film. This movie doesn't just get progressively worse. It nosedives in quality in the second half.

There were multiple moments throughout the film that nearly caused me to walk out during the second half and I actually did end up walking out with roughly 15 minutes left in the film. Once the Grandmother appeared to save the day in the tunnels, I got up and left. Don't bother with this one. It's as bad as Shazam 2.

At the other end of the spectrum is Susan Sarandon, over her skis in an ill-fitting role. In between the good and bad were a cast that seemed to be trying to channel Mexican Wrestling movie style of acting. I have to assume this was the director's fault as George Lopez and others can legit act.
Visually, the movie is interesting, and the action is not a jumble of explosions with nothing to catch the eye, but it's too heavy on the neon color palette. Thankfully, not Speed Racer level of Neon, but too much.
Which brings me to the lowest qualities of the movie. If I was 5 and loved popcorn, I would have been munching without blinking from start to finish. But, I'm not and so the movie was the most predictable, lazily-written movie of any genre I have seen in decades. It feels like someone plugged Blue Beetle into an AI using Story Wheel or Save the Cat and this is what was spit out. The humans who wrote it have nothing to be proud of as I was literally predicting every scene and outcome. I only failed to predict how bufoonish the behavior of the family was, or how incompetent the evil organization. Editing and some better character writing would have improved it tremendously.
I forced myself not to leave the theater, but even watching it on $4 ticket on National Cinema Day, I felt it was not worth the money.
I am happy it serves some audiences that needed better attention, but Blue Beetle deserved to be a film better than, say, The Phantom (1996).

When of the worst movies Ive ever seen. It was meant to be funny, but we found it stupid. So many things just made no sense and the lazy writer used silly clichés to fill in large plot holes.

The plot was basic, predictable, unoriginal and it was very generic superhero movie. People thinks this is the Ironman of DC but it's not even close. And the latino culture was lame
I'm Latino from Mexico and the Mexican family was very annoying, cringe and very stereotypical, not every Mexican families act like that. And the ecxess of latino music was unnecesary. The jokes were lame and unfunny especially the grandma scenes and the unfunny uncle. And the sister was unlikable and cringe and a MisMarvel ripoff.
The love interest looked forced and her lore was boring and overdone. The writting and dialogues were BAD, like it was written for 10 years old to laugh at every forced mexican bad word they said. The fighting scenes were cool but the no killing nonsense was lame, the CGI was decent. And the villians were not interesting and forgettable, and you could predict the secondary villian would turn against the main villian. And the whole family message is all over the movie and gets old, and the scene where they cry looked forced.
To sumerize, this was a generic DC superhero movie with a plot we have seen too many times before and it just passes the time for me, but kids might love this and spam this movie all over Twitter. So it's a 6/10 for me.

And now with the things I dislike outside the movie.
The Director is an a$$hole and very woke, he made a joke about Batman being 'Faccist' and it was ment to be funny but it isn't. And people complained and the director made fun of them on Twitter saying 'My job is done here'
And this line:
“That seems a little…”
“Sexist?”
This line feels out of place and its very woke.
And of course the movie director is from Puerto Rico, so thats why he obsessed with the Latino culture in this trash movie.
So I would put this a 3 just for this review to be negative and the movie deserves to Flop.

Then we saw an actor in the movie, Rajoul Trajillo tell an interviewer how happy he was that there was only one white person in the cast. my 9 year old son seemed shocked and asked why he doesnt want white people in the movie, as he wants to be an actor. I had to explain to my son what racism is. Any movie that is going to hire openly racist actors gets a 0/10. Do better

in the second message I complained about the censorship and Metacritic edited my message removing the complaint and without my authorization they put a new simplified evaluation of the film on my user account.

In the third message, Metacritic blocked my access so as not to criticize the site. now I created a new user to complain about the previous blocks.

If you give zero to movies destined for WOKE's schedule within a few days, your review will be deleted, and if you complain, your comments will be blocked, as the Wokecritic team is paid to manipulate and censor user reviews. The actual movie score is much lower, but they try to balance the rating by excluding some ratings.

You guys at Metacritic are dumb because people don't like it
of the WOKE that seeks to destroy family values. Disney, DC and Marvel are an example that are destroying all history to support this WOKE agenda from hell. I just keep laughing because every day there is news about the financial losses caused by the Woke.

The movie is horrible. It's better to watch old Batman over and over a thousand times.

And before deleting the message, think that after the deletion I can put the message again, because we are in a democracy and not in a dictatorship.
