Blue Beetle is a win for DC Studios, despite some its poorly executed villains.
Blue Beetleis an MCU-like crowd-pleaser that is easily the bestDC superherofilm in quite some time.
While the movie might be a ton of fun, this good time doesnt come without its caveats.
Palmera Citys hero is easy to connect with and understand.
He is simply a joy to watch.
But rest assured, the hero that came before Reyes is honored and respected properly.
Hopefully, his story is one that a future DCU project might tell.
Alongside Jaime is his close-knit family, all of whom have a fantastic dynamic with one another.
Everything about their interactions feels genuine and honest.
A Fun, MCU-Like Crowd-Pleaser
Blue Beetlefosters a very vibrant, fun, and light-hearted tone.
MCU fans will feel right at home.
The film will undoubtedly get caught up in plenty of comparisons to the likes of theMarvel Cinematic Universe.
Its also worth noting that the action scenes throughout the movie are quite stellar.
The physical threat to Jaime Reyes isRaoul Max Trujillos Carapax.
Then theres Victoria Kord(played by Susan Sarandon), who is simply the stereotypical power-hungry Rich CEO.
Not only is this antagonist extremely dull, but Sarandons performance is a notable weak link of the film.
Well, it fits in quite well.
What that means for the events ofBlue Beetleand its smaller details are unclear.
Either way, this is still a win for the DCU (its first of the year).
Heres to hoping Blue Beetle can start crossing over with other DC characters sooner rather than later.
Blue Beetlelands in theaters on August 18.
