BLUE BEETLE (Minor Spoilers)

I was unsure if I wanted to see “Blue Beetle”. Is it one of the last of the old DCEU movies? Or, as suggested by recent articles, the first of the new DCU films under James Gunn and James Safran.

Well, the movie was green lit by Warner in 2021 to be part of mid-budget films to be released exclusively on HBO Max. But with the regime change… and lucky for it, with Safran as a producer, it got a theatrical release date.

As I’m not a fan of Warner/Gunn’s new direction for DC Comics movies, I hesitated. But because the Blue Beetle features the Jaime Reyes version of the character, Warner’s first Mexican superhero, I felt I should at least see it.

First, does this feel like an introduction to a new DC Universe? Flat out, No. The story is set in a fictional city in the Florida Keys, and except for very minor passing references to Batman, Superman, and the Flash, there is no sense of the outside world and the heroes that might inhabit it. So this movie is largely standalone and could exist in any of DC’s multiverses (included the Arrowverse).

What sets this movie apart from other superhero movies is its focus on “La familia”. We have Jaime, his sister, mom and dad, Uncle Rudy, and Nana the abuelita - and they all love each other very much.

This is both good and bad, because like the Shazam-Family in Zachary Levi’s films, Jaime is never on a solo mission. He has to share a lot of screen time and plot with his family.

As Superhero family go, this one is extraordinary… Tio Rudy (played by George Lopez) is a veritable tech genius (someone actually refers to him as Doc Brown). And Nana? She’s played by well known Mexican actress Adriana Barraza. Her character was once a “revolucionista” who can handle a machine gun twice her size. As I don’t recall any revolutions in Mexico in the past 50+ years, maybe in her youth grandma traveled to Nicaragua in the 1980s to fight with the Contras.

These additions are meant to be playful, but each needs a setup, and an arc and conclusion which make the movie less and less about Jaime.

Xolo Maridueña is charming as Jaime. His devotion to his family is his defining trait. Once the alien scarab takes over his body, he’s constantly trying to stop it from killing anybody. An odd juxtaposition because in Tio Rudy’s and Abuelita’s action scenes, they don’t hesitate killing (remember that machine gun?).

Susan Sarandon plays a generic corporate villain and offers nothing special. Her #1 henchman is played by Raoul Trujillo. He eventually becomes a red version of the Beetle (don’t you hate it when the villain becomes a copy of the hero). He and Jaime have many fight scenes (CGI versus CGI like in the Iron Man movies).

The ending gets bogged down in too many fight scenes:

Jaime’s sister versus generic henchmen

Tio Rudy versus generics henchmen

Abuelita versus generic henchmen

Jaime versus generic henchmen

Jaime versus Raoul Trujillo (twice at the end and at least 4 times across the movie).

In all, I thought “Blue Beetle” was just “okay”. Certainly better than “Quantumania” and “Thor L&T” but not has good as either WW movie or the recent Flash (which I enjoyed quite a bit).

NOTE:The plot references the Golden Age Blue Beetle (Dan Garrett) and the Silver Age version (Ted Kord) but neither appear. But we do get to see Kord’s airship, the Bug, in action.

Post Credit Scenes: Shortly after the credit start, there is a scene referencing Ted Kord. At the very end of the credits, there is another bit that is not worth waiting for (trust me!). And there are NO cameos by any other heroes or actors.

Best Line:

“My name is Sanchez, pendeja!”

Blue Beetle (2023)

This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.

Blue Beetle has several scenes that use rapid-firing weapons, both realistic and sci-fi based, all used in dark environments with bright flashes. Flickering lights and electrical sparks and arcs create frequent and severe strobe effects. One pivotal scene occurs with emergency vehicle strobe lights flashing on the entire screen.

There is high-speed flying through complex maneuvers and extreme heights, typical to many other superhero films.

Flashing Lights: 10/10. Motion Sickness: 7/10.

TRIGGER WARNING: One character is almost constantly using microaggressions against Hispanic people. There is a brief allusion to a villain's motivation possibly being caused by physical disability.

Late night thoughts:

With the writer’s and actors strike going on, it makes me sad that with Blue beetle coming out this month, Angel Manuel Soto (the director), Xolo Maridueña, and the rest of the entire cast of Blue beetle won’t be able to promote or see the success of the movie if it does well. What I mean by this is because this is the first superhero movie to not only have a predominately Latino and Indigenous cast (minus Susan Sarandon), but the movie also has Angel Manuel Soto who is taking the lead as the director, and also Xolo Maridueña who is going to be the first Latin American actor to be the first Latino actor to be the lead in a live action superhero movie and even be centered on the promotional pictures for once. (Yes, I’m aware that Miles morales was the first Latin American superhero to be the lead in a superhero movie and to be on a poster, but Into the Spiderverse is animation and Blue beetle is live action and in live action superhero movies, Latin American people have been stereotyped which is a conversation for another day).

Anyway, as someone who is a huge advocate for Latin American representation and a comic book fan, I hope that the people in my community show up for blue beetle just like we did for Black panther 2. Support the actors and writers during this strike and let’s hope they all reach a fair deal and the studio CEO’s realize that they should pay their writer’s and actors, and they don’t have to rely on AI anymore. 🙏🏽🇲🇽🤎
