Good for you for giving this movie a fair shake, Joe. We all know that you and the color blue have a rough history.
😂😂😂
Agree
This movie was originally intended to be released on HBO Max but was upgraded to a theatrical release. The idea was to make a series of mid budget super hero films including Batgirl, Zatanna and the Wonder Twins with Blue Beetle being the only one that wasn't canceled by WB. I personally don't understand studio strategies but WB seems to be all over the place with theirs and it's no coincidence these products keep under performing.
I think it was a mixture of trying to bring in the sales of Mexican/Latino audiences and that they can use Blue Beetle for a young justice League super film
I think the strategy was make and release them straight to HBOMax to get people to the app, but then ownership of WB changed for the umpteenth time in 5yrs and the new owner said, "How can we get out of this mountain of billions of dollars worth of debt?" then scrapped what was deemed poor quality to make back some of that money.
When Discovery bought Warner, the CEO David Zaslav said all movies they'll make will have a theatrical release then put on HBO Max after a while. When Batgirl was in screen testing period it had reactions so bad they thought it was not worthy of a big screen release so decided to can it.
Zatana movie would've actually been a great concept....
@@famousthaneus9810makes sense. Putting it in theaters will make some money versus going straight to Max and making zero dollars 🤷🏾♀️
The bad dude's memory flashbacks, going through his whole life backwards, did show his memory getting wiped, it just happens real fast in between a bunch of other memories, but it's there in the film and the scarab unlocked his memories for him, which does play nicely into the theory of the scarab using Jaime's dad to get him into bonding with it.
So, I live in Sonora where they supposedly emigrated from and the whole theater burst out laughing at the references like Rody arriving with La Chona at full blast.
I don't know if it was because of all the "mexicanadas" but everyone really seemed to enjoy it and sincerely I enjoyed it more than I expected.
I asked my dad if the new Spiderman ATM, Transformers ROTB, or this film was his favorite. He said Blue Beetle, and he was telling me that it was very 80's in production, pacing, and style.
His parents are from Mexico and he was born in 1969 in the US
who is Rody ??
@@alfredooliva5175 the uncle, George Lopez
This reminds me of an old movie called Star Kid.......kid gets an alien suit of armor that is technically alive, gets locked in the suit, takes it fir a joyride, and at some point fights an alien who wants the tech for itself. It was a fun movie.
that is exactly what I was hoping to see from this film cause I went watching this film going blind, and at first it looked promising, then it gave me that vibe like it could be star kid, sadly it was mediocre at best, good for kids to watch but meh as an adult
Man thank you!!! I've been trying to remember the name of that movie!!!!
@@badjohnnyisbada bad memory
Damn, i loved that movie growing up.
This movie is a good memory! For everyone who has good memories of this movie, do yourself a favor and do not rewatch!
Throwing it out there. Blue beetle not killing is a major point of his story. The scarab is supposed to be a killer with no regard for life. Jaime is supposed to pull it back over time. His refusal to kill isnt the issue, its that literally every other character kills instead of him. Plus they didnt do the scarab right initially. They’re supposed to argue when he tells it to pull back. Instead it essentially just goes “oh my bad!”
Is it pg 13 or something?
@@blessanabey8386obviously
@@ziontea7045 i see, that's a shame.
Dan Garrett the first chosen Beetle probably
@@SirsasthNigam. Yknow thats another major story beat they messed up come to think of it. The movie never established why Jaime gets a power ranger-esque metal suit, while the previous ones had classic spandex superhero suits. Pretty sure Jaime is supposed to be the first beetle to actually activate the scarab, the others created tech so thier connection to it doesnt make a lot of sense
“The vibe is off somehow?”
Alex - “yeah, you’re not 5” LMAO
Literally nobody in my theater understood the end credits scene. I was the only person laughing and smiling.
Honestly should have statyed with the first guy but instead tease the second
you really are a special person friend, one in a billion, i hope someone gives you a medal
It was a legendary ending 😂
Loved the ending
So, figuratively, not literally. You were there and you understood.
Only reason I wanna see this movie is because of Miguel
Same here
Xolo*
Cobra Kai never dies
Same, Xolo is one of the most likeable actors I ever seen, he's the complete opposite of Rachael Zegler.
Only reason I want to watch it is to help dc it’s not doing good in the box office lol😂
Final Verdict 5/10 26:12
Thanks, I wish they added timestamps to their videos…
@@diegoramos27nobody would watch it then
I think it deserves more credit than a 5/10 I enjoyed it much more than the flash, it was great probably like a 7/10 imo but not the best superhero movie ever made
The Jamie joke makes complete sense. I deal with that all if the time. It has gone as far as people incorrectly correcting the pronunciation of my name, and had a lady try to convince me to go by the English pronunciation. It does happen but I get not everyone would get it.
No.
Sadly, this is true.
Same.
Yea bro that happens to my mom all the time bruh so it does make sense, Alex is just hating all the time
I caved when I went to college and let them all me Jay-me. So work it’s Jay-me. Instead of getting my name butchered. 😂
36:31 - best Jackie Chan impression ever
Watched the movie today. I had low expectations. Actually liked it. Better than the Flash and Black Adam by miles.
Flash was amazing
Thats not hard tbf
@@Autizim01flash had all the ingredients to be amazing but it was very average.
Literally anything is better.
Honestly Black Adam was better. Flash is trash though
God I remember watching the live action Guyver as a kid, loved how brutal and dark it was. It's a bit cheesey but still holds up well today. They should really make an up to date series.
Whitey
Yeah they should.
Definitely should.
yeah, i absolutely loved that movie as a kid, i was a dorky black girl hooked on it
I spoke with someone on twitter who was trying to secure the rights to Guyver and Robojox, he wanted to reboot both. We spoke about what we would each want from a rebooted live action and we both agreed that it has to be practical effects makeup and costume over CGI. Don't want to get hopes up, who knows if anything comes of it.
Yeah I love blue beetle in young Justice, and the DCAU, such a killer character! Also injustice, and in the comics. I am looking forward to seeing it.
Brave and the Bold
My like made your likes 69 likes. 😎
I like this better than The Flash and Black Adam. Because those movies did nothing for me as far as story and DC morals go. So far, The Batman and Blue Beetle, keeps their moral code in check...the no killing rule. Which I like. I'd give this a 7/10...because I want this to deliver in the box office so we can get a sequel. IMO, it's a better start to the DCU re-franchise. IF Man of Steel and BvS and JL....can't make a billion...that's a problem. And those movies have the heavy hitters, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.
its not a DCU start the character will just be transfered Gunn has said this yet people keep saying this i sth4 start of DCU
@@Akinwalesegunexactly he's said over and over again that superman is the start of the DC
As a Mexican American I really enjoyed the movie. They nailed the references
Is that all you care for? Take that away, make them all generic Caucasians, then you'll probably see the dogshit it truly is
Yup, because nowdays what makes movies good is if they touch a specific group of peoples hearts, screw writing just make Mexican references... good job
Mexicans pointing and soy facing at corporations pandering to them:
@@ye9945 Pretty much, the "representation" is purely to boost their reputation and increase cash flow, Black Panther to this day is worshipped by black audience even if both movies were kinda mediocre
@@hughjaenus2235 this movie wasn't made for you. Just like how Shang Chi and Black Panther wasn't made for you
24:10 - I agree with most of the review so far but this was unnecessary.
Like young dude ‼️SPOILERS‼️-> just got a robotic scarab crawl into his body, infest his literal brain, a whole other sentient being with him for the rest of his life and it took over his physical ability and forced him into fights where he had no control over his body. Like wtf? Did you expect him to react like Master Chief and just be some stoic “this is completely normal” type beat like????‼️
About 10-15 minutes into the movie and all I hear from behind me is 1 of 3 little girls say “uh guys.. I don’t think this is an English speaking movie.”
They had no idea what they were watching, their mom tried to drop them off to see Sounds of Freedom lmao. These girls were like 10 🤯
How dare they get cultured
I honestly disagree joe. As a person that doesnt know about Blue Beetle this movie literally had no issue for me. I had a fun time watching this show and not only that it got me tearing up at some points of the movie but i guess if people are hardcore DC fans i understand there opinion
I agree. I cried, laughed and cheered throughout this movie. Loved it.
I liked the movie. Joe and company are white washed. Putos
The granny was especially funny. When she started to kill those soldiers with maniacal laugh I couldn't stop laughing.
You can disagree all you wants. You're still wrong 😂😂. It was absolutely rubbish. And this is coming from someone who wanted to like it 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️. Go watch some quality movies and learn what's what
@@hellfire5108that was stupid as fuck
I enjoyed the movie. It was a fun time. El Chapulín Colorado and Don Francisco appearing in the movie was great. Like another commenter, I was also the only one laughing when el Chapulín was on the security cameras😂
Jamie not wanting to kill is actually an integral part of his character. It’s not being a pacifist coward, it’s staying true to how the character is
He does not mind to kill or at least cripple the goons in the castle. The problem with non lethal weapons also in real life is that they are much more often used and hurt people seriously. Just because they not kill 100% does not mean there is a 0% death rate using non lethal weapons
Thank you! Glad to see someone that gets it!
It's a superhero movie, Blue Beetle is a DC character, yet people are still surprised when they don't kill, Superheroes don't kill since like 1970's, it's not smart writing that should be praised, it's literally just common sense
But then why don’t he care when his grandma starts mowing people down with a mini gun 🤣, his whole family murdering people
@@hughjaenus2235Wolverine would like to have a word with you. Clearly you havent seen superhero films or comics before.
I’m surprised how much I enjoyed this, it isn’t perfect and has faults, but it was a fun flick with a lot of heart and a good balance of humor
That’s the problem with superhero movies now they are generic and uninspired
Exactly, its the same cookie cutter formula with no true invention
@@yellowscarlightningscream8347I loved it
@yellowscarlightningscream8347 wrong people get mad at films trying new things (The eternals)
@@j0eyhz620Which timeperiod do you think that didn't happen ?
Heads up! Xolo is pronounced “Cholo” not “Zolo” or just call him Miguel 😂
I know but sometimes spanish is stupid, whe don't say "Tachi" to a Taxi, for me, is ok in both ways.
@@VideojugadorIrritado Spanish isn't stupid, you just don't understand grammar:
When it is between vowels or at the end of the word you use "ks".
When it is at the beginning of a word you use "s".
I don't know what movie you guys saw, but I just got out of seeing this film and I thought it was a blast! I thought the family dynamic worked really well, especially Nana, and I thought the action scenes were really good. I honestly think you guys were way too hard on this one, this was a harmless fun film that didn't really do much wrong. This is the first DC film in a while where I walked out smiling, I hope this character and his supporting cast come back in the future.
Xolo is a charismatic, likeable presence and I really hope they give him a chance to appear as Blue Beerle in future DCU films, or, in the Booster Gold tv series.
The problem isn't "didn't really do much wrong." Because you want to leave a movie going, "did so much right." Most of the action was pathetic. All at night, in the dark and poorly lit. And you highlight that "Nana worked really well" when it should be that "Jaime worked really well." Main character.
I'm glad you liked the movie. For real. These guys aren't saying it was "bad." They're saying, "It *wasn't* bad." But, they also *aren't* saying, "It was good."
@@thedarkemissary I understand what you mean, but just because I didn't mention Jaime doesn't mean I didn't like him, I thought Xolo did a fantastic job. Also while I understand why these guys didn't love it, it just seems weird to me that they seemingly gave The Flash a much better score when Blue Beetle is waaaaayyy better as a film from a filmmaking perspective.
Best Super Hero film I have seen in years. Great characters, a proper story, CGI polished, tears, laughter, action it had everything! Cinema I went to was half full which in this day and age is a good result! Loads more than I have seen for Marvel & DC movies over the last few years (apart from latest SM film) Popularity and Comic prices do not make a good film.....Antman 3 and Wakanda Forever were poor IMO.......Solid 9/10 for me. And I'm going to see it again........haven't done that since the 1980's
This is why your not a real critic 😂😂😂
Just got back from seeing it and I gotta say, despite the generic tropes, the movie was pretty dang good. Xolo nailed the role of Jaime and the humor and action was pretty solid and as a Mexican American myself, this is a nice presentation of Latino culture especially “family”. 8/10 in my book. A good fresh start to the DCU.
Thus movie is dumpster trash. It should had been called LA Familia and Blue Beetle because his family was fucking fighting his battles for him. Blue Beetle is a damn coward and a pussy. Yes I want there! He got papa killed because he refused to fight. Some hero.
This movie is so chill something you’d put on a Saturday morning
Im surprised to hear so many people dislike the movie so much. It wasn't great but it's not bad. Id give it a 7
Waay too high. Movie is below average.
@@silentnoise6404 I think 7 is the average for most movies lately
@@silentnoise6404 The action was freak'n phenomenal, but there just wasn't enough of it.
I give it an 11/10 best superhero movie I’ve ever seen and you can’t change my mind.
I'm at a point where I don't go out to see these hero movies on day 1 in theater, I will be waiting for all of them to go on sale in the market when it comes
😂smart
Who asked
Was not that impressed actions could have been much better.
Black Adam was painfully generic.
Shazam 2 was painfully generic.
and now this....
DC killed Batman and Superman for me, and Disney killed their MCU a while ago. Superhero films need to go away for a long long time.
No they just need people with a Vision to execute. All of this bs has had no end game at all. Just random throws of a dying animal. Even Star Wars has had zero plans. Major companies are not going for creatives, just people who check boxes (Look at Obi Wan show for instance, gave the Biggest IP and the Biggest characters ever created to a random person because she was female. And yes Kathleen literally said she gave Debrah Chow the seat because she wanted to "Nurture more female directors")
This is happening industry wide. same with she hulk, they literally said the same thing. So basically, Racial and gender politics is ruining every IP.
The fact so many comments say they had low expectations so they found it bearable... SAYS IT ALL... Garbage
the trailer showed the entire movie. Saved me money.
then tell me how the movie starts and what's the ending of the movie or tell me the whole final battle btw. no research just tell me since u are saying here you saw the whole movie on just one trailer. pls tell me i wanna know :D so tomorrow when ill watch the movie i will remember what u said and that your telling the truth about "trailer showed me the movie"
That line got old and cringe years ago..!!
I feel sad for you..!!
@@mrninja4423Relax b movies stan.
Trailer leaves no surprises ngl just seen the movie
@@omargalal9004 im relax i just want to know which scenes he saw on trailer that "Spoiled" the whole movie??
Don’t care what anyone says, Blue Beetle fucking rocks.
Agreed!
Man, hearing about Chapolin Colorado brings back a lot of memories. It was a big success in Brazil in the 80s/90s.
Oh, about the movie, no surprises
I remember Xuxa.
I really liked this movie. It has a whole lotta heart . All the stuff with the family was great
same really liked the movie. will go see it again on Thursday. 😊
Definitely agree
Without the visual stimulus of Joe dressing up like the blue beetle, and the weirdos playing with dolls at the beginning of the review, that has nothing to do with the blue beetle review, I totally am glad that I missed the initial upload of this mindless review. I give the intro a 2 out of 77 farts but the overall video rating a fartworthy rating ❤😂
You guys should do one last 3h long DCEU review
Or DCEU the greatest failure in the history of media
nah
This is a DCU film tho
that would be to much fam they have lives to you know. OJ as kids to feed and regular joe has a girlfriend and alex has to do D%D and warhammer studies.
@@btafbmno its not. first DCU film will be superman.
If MCU did not exist this movie would be great, like weaker 7/10, but MCU does exist so when you are watching it you are just going down a mental list of checkboxes as they are following the typical MCU formula in the movie, you know basically exactly what will happen next, how will it end and all that making this a weak 5/10. If DCU wants to get back up on its feet it needs to realize that by copying the very tired marvel formula won't help them, not even marvel can pull of marvel formula anymore, they need to actually take some risks and trad some new territory. Look at spiderverse as an example, it's an amazing movie and a simple proof that people don't have superhero fatigue, just cliché marevel formula and trope-fest fatigue.
Guess it’s good to have MCU then if this would’ve been considered “better”. You know what is actually even better then the MCU? The Bruce Timm Animated universe.
@@Shocknfunkthe DCAU is the best. Nothing can beat that. Second is the DCAMU or the young justice universe.
I love the Angry Joe show, but Wow. They have reached unbearable critic status. The movie isn't perfect but I think it's probably the best comic book film since now way home. At least a 7/10. If not a 8/10
Thanks for shouting out The Guyver. “Guyver: Dark Hero” was the gateway that got me into Anime. I watched the live action and then went on to get all the VHS tapes of the 90’s “Guver: Bio-Booster Armour” series, then the reboot in the 2000’s. It’s still one of my favourite anime franchises to this day!
Guyver was awesome. I love the anime. I wished they would finish the series of the reboot.
That's what Blue Beetle reminded me of but I couldn't remember the fucking name ty
Yeah I love the guyver+
I would love for Vin Diesel to appear as himself im the DCU
You're never going to see the guyver Manga end. The author was too stressed out. So he went back to being a dentist.
Yeah The Guyver was awesome
This has been one of the best DC movies for me, way better than the last 3 movies at least
LMAO, Shazam 2 has it's problems but it was WAY better then Blue Beetle imo.
imo Blue Beetle is an ok movie. If u forget it's a superhero movie u can enjoy it more.
but for me it's the worst DCEU movie lol. It was more a drama comedy family show
Black Adam is better in my opinion this is just Shazam in Mexico
@@evangingerson1271 You clearly haven't watched Blue Beetle. Black Adam pacing is a mess and Shazam is just ash.
BB was great and the fight scene are really good imo. Shazam was way lighter and shazam 2 was trash just like black adam. He got bossed around by a kid and his mother. Atom and cyclone were useless throught the movie.
@@lgbtletsgobrandontribe1808 Black Adam was NOT trash, one millions times better then BB! BB fights like the movie were ok at best, Black Adam's fights were insane. BB was about the family then BB, plus the movie was too silly and too much comedy.
Spray it with the insecticide.
This is a super watered down family centric version of Guyver. If only we can have a new live action Guyver with half of the budget this film had - hell even bring back David Hayter as cameo 😂
David hayter sucked in that movie. Read the manga, shill.
Are you trying to ruin another hidden gem franchise?
What's "Guyver"?
@@speedgriffon2504 guyver is a japanese manga from 1984 where an artifact of alien descent (blue beetle) is found and activated by a unsuspecting teen. Upon activation the artifact face hugs the teen donning him with armor capable of producing powerful swords and blaster weapons (blue beetle). The teen communicates and summons the armor through nodes on his back (blue beetle lol) . The teen is constantly forced into battle to protect his family by an evil organisation who wants the alien device for themselves. Sound familiar? Lol
@@willyung5819 That sounds EXACTLY LIKE this version of Blue Beetle. I mean, EXACTLY like it, as in the only difference being the name!
Crazy how so many people want this movie to succeed KNOWING it looks generic as hell
Who cares.. most superhero movies are.. what's more important? It being generic or it being genuinely good?
@HavokUnbound being generic looking is an indicator of a mid or bad film tho. Given dc record for films, can't blame people for being wary
Let's face it all supermovies are generic other than Tobey McGuire's SpiderMan and the original Ironman
@bigdreams5554 I'd also say dark knight was a great mixup. Felt like an action drama that starred batman rather than a straight up superhero film.
@badlandschugsnumber1fan123 Its the Black Panther scenario. Does'nt matter if its a bad movie just has to push the message or virtue signal. thats why Hollyweird is in the toilet now and thats a good thing.
that manscape ad was so well done lol. Y'all put actual effort into your ads unlike 99% of youtubers. Respect
Even the trailer is generic. "I didn't ask for this!" "Get away from my sister!" Jesus Christ.
Spoilers:
Agree with the missed opportunities for better jokes but only one stood out and it was the one Alex mentioned about the name Jaime. Definitely could have been written better. It was just awkward during that part. Didn’t make sense.
I disagree on some of their major gripes.
1. The sister. Maybe they forgot what having a sibling is like or a relative that you’re close to. Maybe they are single children. I never heard of Joe having a brother or sister. So I won’t hold it against them that they didn’t like that the sister was annoying. But that’s literally what it’s like. The sister reminded me of my cousin that I’m really close to. She makes fun of me, a bit abrasive, yet we are able to have moments where we talk about real shit and she tells me what I need to hear not what I want to hear. So the sister was written and acted perfectly. You’re suppose to be in jaime’s shoes and be annoyed with him or embarrassed with him.
The family helping out in the end. It felt a lot like spy kids with the gadgets and I have fond memories of spy kids so it wasn’t a problem for me I thought it was fun and made sense. Jaime is in trouble, no one else is gonna help. Only the family really knows what’s going on. So it made sense to me that the family is going to try to help Jaime. They realize they need weapons so they arm up.
Jaime not being a killer in his first few fights.
You guys definitely have seen too many movies to expect a young person straight out of college with a good heart to instantly drop bodies even if he’s in danger. He’s going to try his best to disarm and incapacitate them rather than kill. That’s the whole point of blue beetle. I won’t fault you guys for not knowing much about blue beetle but the sound wave blasters are comic accurate, the staple blasters have been used in animated shows. I think you guys came into the movie with the wrong mindset if you expected blue beetle to be a killer instantly and be bad ass right away in his origin movie.
What I agree with is, yeah the rest of the family do kill. I don’t think the sister killed though, just the grandma and Rudy.
I agree that some of the action was filmed in a way that I missed some things.
I just feel some of the complaints were from a perspective of not relating to the character or having prior information on the character. Which could be the fault of the writer and director for not setting it up properly.
For an origin movie it did its job. I want to see more blue beetle. Didn’t have moments that were memorable but it lays the groundwork for there to be epic moments in the future. I teared up when the dad died. I’d give it a 6/10 if I’m being critical I’ll have to see it again in imax to fully experience the movie. But as of right now it’s slightly above average to me, blue beetle looked really cool and the action scenes were cool as well.
It's ok to say " I enjoyed the movie for what it is" :)
I truly enjoyed this film , 8/10 for my score
So DCU’s moonknight nobody asked for
The best Manscape ad I have EVER seen, bar none. Came to check the review, ended up entertained by your advertising! Whaaatt?! Nice job guys!
Perfect timing. Just got out the theater like an hour ago. Good movie. Some issues ofc but a good movie overall. Had extremely low expectations so maybe that helped.
5/10 ouch.
Yea it’s a 4 to 6 range depending on how you liked certain parts but at the end of the day it’s a nice little turn your brain off movie to watch with a few nice parts and a few lackluster parts but fine overall
The owl ship in Watchmen WAS a parody of the Beetle ship. It's also the Batwing.
Y'all cuss so much it's taking y'all out the algorithm😂 I have to search y'all to find newest videos
But joe DC was saying this is the greatest superhero movie since Nolan's batman trilogy
James Gun should have just wiped the slate clean and cleanly rebooted the DCU when he had the chance.
Joe: “I wanna give it a 6 but my cohosts just roasted it into oblivion.”
Movie has it faults but i want to see this continue this shit had heart
Yeah for sure. Would definitely love to see a continuation with Ted Kord showing up and possibly Booster Gold being teased or referenced and for them to build on more of the lore of the Scarab and to see the Reach with them being the big bad, especially considering that the villains in this movie weren't the best.
Alec is so quick with the analogies😂 it’s truly impressive… that helicopter analogy🤌
This movie was awesome. Way better than anything that DC or Marvel has put out recently.
I asked my dad if the new Spiderman ATM, Transformers ROTB, or this film was his favorite. He said Blue Beetle, and he was telling me that it was very 80's in production, pacing, and style.
Nope, Guardians and Spider Verse is way better.
Thanks for the Guyver shoutout. Yes this was a miss for me. It should of been darker with Guyver like body horror. The AI should of stayed male and scary and not Alexa\Siri who becomes good so quickly. They made the same mistake with Shazam dragging the family throughout. Family was killing dudes left and right and Jaimie killed none. Would of been nice for a kill and have some guilt. The midcredit didn't get me excited at all. Should of had a lfashback with Kord and the last host being defeated and losing the beetle.
As a lifelong Guyver fan, I'm glad people are finally recognizing Jaime Reyes as a watered down PG-13 ripoff
Guyver fans unite!!!
*should've = should have =/= should of

Idiot.

@@camerongct EdwardYoungJr doesn't know how to conjugate for shit.
Even though I'm a white boy, Iused to to watch spanish language Univision when I was a kid as well. A day wasn't complete without Sabado Gigante, Cero en Conducta, El Gordo Y La Flaca, and Primer Impacto.
My love of soccer/football/Futbol comes from them airing World Cup matches live and the cheerleaders of the Republica Deportiva show. Lol!
Generic and pointless movie of a superhero very few people are familiar with and poorly executed storyline but they fixed it so well in post that it seem competently done.
What's his name? Blue Scarab? Blue Beetle was revealed to be an earlier hero and this protagonist was never explicitly named. And what are his ill defined powers? Nano-tech based Green Lantern style powers?
When the movie ended I suddenly remembered, what happened to the giant concrete ball that they were trying to open at the beginning? Presumably it contained the McGuffin, the Blue Scarab, but it was later revealed that the father Ted gave Victoria the scarab. So when did the opening scene happened? And Carapax already have the exoskeleton implanted in that scene.
The real novelty of this movie is really the setting, a Hispanic superhero, everything else has been done before
Most people just wanna laugh have emotional and charisma in it . This isn’t a big name no expectation of being it like a Spider-Man 2😂.
I liked this movie quite a bit. It’s generic and then again it does it well. The villains were meh but I could excuse that as everything else was just good. Solid 8/10
two of the singers the George Lopez was listening to they passed away One of them was Selena Quintanilla and the other one Chalino Sánchez
I absolutely loved Blue Beetle it is one of my favorite super hero movies of the year. I loved it way more than the flash as much as I loved Shazam Fury of the gods I liked Blue Beetle a little more. So far Blue Beetle is my second favorite superhero movie I have seen so far. It deserves a sequel.
You have very low standards lmao do I even wanna know the first😂
I’m in the process of 3-D printing this whole suit plus the sword. so I can wear for Halloween..
That’d be awesome
The good thing about the movie (mainly if your Hispanic who have Spanish speaking family members) is that you can watch it with ya older parents or grandparents and they will enjoy it and gives ya something to talk about
James Gunn has a monumental task on his hands.
Movie is so underrated. It was Good. Best movie DC has produced in a very long time.
Lol sarcasm, niceee
Okay honestly I rather watch the first IRON MAN. I’m Mexican but yeah Iron Man is an old movie and this is nothing compared to it
If this is the new start of the DCU it's their Thor 1. It's not bad and it's not great either just your average movie where you get introduced to a character you might or not know. 5/10
It has a 7/10 on imdb
@@JamesIrons-sm5fl So does Thor 1. See what I mean?
Guyver first one was good. Loved the second one. Action was on point and gore too just wish gave it more bigger budget.
Agreed!
“Blue Beetle” arrives as DC is struggling to stay alive after a series of flops, cleaning house and revamping its famous comic book titles to course correct. In all the turnover, they’d be smart to keep Jaime Reyes and Xolo Maridueña around.
Biggest issue with the movie was not fleshing out the villain woman more and the scarab origins, imagine if they added the reach origins and the moral dilemma of saving the earth vs handful of ppl for the villain prospective and Jaime has to make a choice to sacrifice himself for the greater good like the villain kept saying but no they didn't?? But then they do that for the villain guy? If you can for that, why not for her? This way it's not generic and unique! And then the bind with the scarab would mean more
Would you rather pay 15 dollars for a generic more with over priced concessions or rent it for 5.99 at home?
Movies are way over priced in theatres.
The first one. At least then, I’ll be able to say that I got the concessions. With the second one, I’ll have wasted my money to watch a bad movie at home and that’s all I’ll be able to say.
I glad I'm not the only one who realizes this. This theaters prizes are way too expensive. Makes you realize why theaters are going downhill, lol
Proof that race has NOTHING TO DO WITH WRITING SKILLS. I wholeheartedly don't care that it's a fellow recan, you can be a zebra for all I care I want the quality not the political headlines.
This movie is more like Star Kid than The Guyver. 😆
I haven’t seen the movie yet but based on the trailers, I wish the suit was more like the Blue Beetle in Young Justice, where the suit has a mind of its own, and it has very savage tendencies and Hime has to try to keep it under control.
He does that in the movie is just downplayed
The Scarab in the movie does indeed have a mind of it's own, every version of it does.
The scarab try’s to murder people multiple times in the movie
@@thewolf01x95Extremely downplayed.
*Jaime
This movie is going to bomb
Harder than Hiroshima
Keep crying.
Pretty sure most people are in agreement with you there. The only thing really saving it is the Latino community and the fact that it didn't cost as much as most other superhero movies meaning it doesn't need to make as much to make it's money back.
Do you only watch box office hit movies ?
@@ahopefor the only thing ??
mehhhhh movie.
It was crazy, silly, over the top and family oriented. It had heart. I liked it.
Calling it. Ted and Jamie's mom were secret lovers in the sequel.
i ended up liking this movie. to me it was a average movie. 5 out 10 , to me. but i ended up liking most of it anyway. even the villains ended up working enough, in my opinion. the main villain reminded me of Hela on Thor Ragnarok. she's evil just cause she's evil and that's it but the actress is so good, in my opinion, that i ended up thinking that the main villain worked well enough. definitely not totally forgetable villains. atleast not to me. i'm brazilian and Bruna Marquezine did a good job as Jenny Kord on this movie, in my opinion she's brazilian too. i don't think that this movie will do good at all in the box office. i think it was nice to hear you guys thoughts on this movie.
My 9 years old son and nieces laugh out loud several times while watching the Flash movie but they all very quite during this movie, so I don’t think even kids gets the jokes. Both my sister and brother in law cried twice though 😬 so at least they found the movie somewhat emotional…
I completely sobbed because I lost mine 16 months ago and it crushed me 😭
Aw jeez, my dad has dementia so anytime there is daddy drama in a movie or show my waterworks turn on full blast... maybe I will watch it just for the emotional release
@@marmalar mine passed from brain cancer and didn’t know who we were at the end. I watched Black Panther a little after he passed and I couldn’t stop crying during or after. This one made me cry like 3 times, especially because he reminded me so much of my dad. Definitely pulls on the heart strings
@vetteleyva918 Thanks for sharing your experience. Frankly, even reading your comment has me crying thinking about my dad. I miss him something terrible -- we used to be the jokers at family funerals who would cheer up other people in mourning. But, now that he is the one who is fading, it is hitting me different.
@@marmalar idk your religious or spiritual background, but the solace I’ve found is that I feel him so close to me now, more than ever. We are energy, and energy doesn’t dissipate. They are always with us. Guide us. And that love never dies. It gives living an extra purpose. To live life to the fullest and fulfill dreams, always accomplishing in their honor, and living extra for the years they weren’t able to live ❤️
As far as Uncle Rudy being able to pilot Ted's Bugship, have you never heard the saying? "The real measure of any advanced technology is how intuitive it is to use."
Yeah why would Kord make it elaborately hard to use anyway, what benefit does that honestly serve? It's just a silly critique and honestly is more of a nitpick then anything.
The working title and they we're working on the film was called Mofongo 17:21
I want to support it so they do a Booster Gold movie.
Well they are doing a series. So supporting the series will more likely get you a Booster Gold movie.
Me and my buddy LOVED this movie!
I really liked it! I think there's some tonal problems in the climax, but it was a solid movie with a good family story at the heart of it. The highlight was the acting from the family and Jenny though. What a cast! Everyone was great. Dad does a great job of being the guiding compass in the climax. George Lopez was HILARIOUS. The sister was the most forgetable character, but the actress did a good job and was entertaining. Nana was my favorite character in the 3rd act, and the emotion from the mother after the dad died was heart wrenching. And Xolo was incredible, that man has charisma out the ears. Bruna was great as Jenny, and the chemistry between her and Xolo was palpable.
Overall, probably the best thing the mainline DC universe has done. It and the first Shazam were the only good things they made, and I think this edges out Shazam just on the strength of performances.
Had to pause, one thing about the "Jaime" name joke. As a Mexican myself, people WILL mispronounce your name after you tell them. People mispronounce Jose all the time but it's fairly common knowledge that it's not pronounced Josay. My name is Raúl, i introduce myself, rolled r accent on the "u" and everything, and people still say "Rawl" back to me.
some people literally cant roll letters
@@thisistheplan414 Sure but they can still say "ooh". Raúl with a soft "r" is still a lot closer than "Rawl". They just decide to pronounce it like Paul or Saul, despite me sounding it out for them.
That's a big pet peeve of mine. I'm black but grew up in a majority Mexican American town in Texas and I hated when my friend Lupe kept getting called Loopy after repeatedly telling ppl how to pronounce it
The movie was fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It gave me bad -vibes; met the director once at a comic conference where I learned the word "latin X is what I should be calling myself and others (sorry dude, NO)
also, Joe let "other Joe" say why HE doesn't like something, then interject with your opinion.
"Latino" already has a gender-neutral definition.
Do these people just not understand the Spanish language? I don't get it.
They want to co-opt it for their Multi Cultural "democracy" . They think they own you and your culture. @@TheZaius
they are unable to understand normalcy
So the last name is funny because in Mexico last names are from both your parents so it adds to a long last name. Most of my friends have long last names and my parents too.
I have not seen a dc movie since Jostice league - never again
The helicopter reference 🤣 10/10
I’m all about culture but the minute they start bringing a family to back up a hero I get pulled out like Shazam. They’re meant to be a hero for a reason and you’re not making me understand why.
I dislike this as well. I want to watch the HERO be the hero, not the HERO's family and the hero.
Whilst I get where you're coming from it helps to show that the hero is still fallible and in Blue Beetles case its to show the overall message that its his family that makes him strong and not weak, which I will say is kind of spoon fed and I will definitely take that as a decent criticism of the movie from a script writing standpoint but yeah.
@@ahopefor I know it’s a different type of media but Miles Morales Spider-Man the game showed the importance of culture while working with Ganke and it was clear as day the mum and Ganke are what makes the hero, a hero as well as showing the importance of friends and family
25:25 That Helicopter analogy was SPOT ON! I’m using that from now on for sureeee
"You look like a hot dog that was rolled down the floor of a barber shop" 🤣😂
loved the film will go see ot again on Thursday. to bad it didnt receive half the promo the flash did because its definitely better than that film
