This movie is such a great time and as the only Blue Beetle movie I will ever get, it just makes me smile all the more.

Does the last act owe a lot to Iron Man 1? Yes. Do I care? No.

Remember the joy of seeing your favorite superhero on screen without worrying about what universe it was in? That’s this movie to a T.

Blue Beetle is so built for a great video game, it’s a shame it probably won’t happen.

Berto Reyes is one of the best dads in comicdom; I’m fine with how they killed him in this movie, it is in service to the story but isn’t the driving force.

So glad they kept the Khadji Da constantly having to be talked down from murder from the comics.

100% Ted Kord and Dan Garret Blue Beetle costumes!!

That with The Bug makes the Beetle-cave sing for my comic heart.

Somehow without ever appearing on scene the movie nails Ted’s jovial personality.

I do need a Spider-Man/Blue Beetle crossover of them fighting Venom & Carnage.

Side note, with OMAC being the main physical threat does make the movie in a roundabout way being Ditko v Kirby.

There had to be a discussion on n giving the OMAC a Mohawk.

The non-Blue Beetle greater DC nods feel very organic in a way so many nods in other comic movies don’t.

It being such a comic accurate suit still amazes me.

The actors get the family’s characters.

Do miss this being in El Paso. That setting really helps with the “two truths and a lie” ethos.

It’s a great time, been a while since I’ve watched. Any criticism are 99.9% nitpicks/me being the worst kind of fanboy.

Xolo Maridueña perfect Jaime no notes.

This movie is missing Paco and Brenda, and it would have been a full rewrite, but Jaime dealing with La Dama would have made a great Blue Beetle movie even better.

Bad idea to start your book by openly stating your contempt for it. The story never grabbed me and the new characters were really uninteresting, by the time the characters I do like show up, it’s too late.
