I actually enjoyed it for what it was. Maybe being Hispanic and knowing the jokes and references for sure helped it in my eyes. The family is definitely like an authentic Hispanic family and was a huge plus for me and my friends when we went to see it.
Yea this is pretty much the case, unless you are latino/a youd understand it especially the ending when we realize the antagonist was taken during the war on "communism" which if you're familiar w/ central america's history where they took kids and made them into child soldiers which made me tear up, especially George Lopez's speech. If you aint a Latino this movie is not for you. This movie touched my soul.
@@nateg4008 youre a black dude named nate, youve never struggled a day in your life, go to your ymca and sit down cause you dont know nothing about anything 🤣
Great video. I feel like it would’ve been considered a good movie back in 08, just like iron man was 😂. My wife caught me sleeping on the movie for a good 5 minutes as well. I love the blue beetle character, and they could done so much more with him. I grew up on young Justice.
I think TBH is being a little hard on this movie. The script was only affected by the strike in terms of rewrites and and not being able to promote. This movie was originally supposed to go straight to HBOMax. This movie felt like an early 2000s hero origin movie and it was fun. I was able to shut my brain off and have a good time but that could just be me. I liked all the actors except the villain and I’m glad James Gunn is keeping Xolo Maridueña.
I disagree. this movie is lazy and empty and y'all the reason we keep getting bs like this. it's always cool seeing an origin story tho.. and wym the script was only affected by rewrites? that's a big deal lol.. and DC failing to promote their movie is on them.. personally I don't think they failed.. people just aren't that interested because the casual hero movie fans don't know him
@@nateg4008 with all the strikes going on in time with the films release if they wanted to change the script or reshoot scenes they wouldn’t have been able to. Blue beetle is a D to mid c level hero who got a c to mid b level movie. Was it the best? Absolutely not, however it was enjoyable to the same vein as Toby macguire spider man films
The distinct parallel of the family being torned apart and then broken by the some soliders read something right out of ICE detention. I agree with you thay this movie is basically Iron Man 1 with a sprinkle of bedazzle on top but ultimately James Gunn made Blue Beetle feel real and i hope once hes fully incorporated into the new timeline (Gunn confirmed that this movie is basically not canon but the gist of the character and actor for blue beetle will be), they will show his true worth because Blue Beetle is definitely one of the coolest superheroes recently created in recent comics (2006)
Great take, I didn't even see the Ironman comparison until now. I was in no rush to watch this movie either...now that I think about it, I didn't finish the movie. I'm glad I joined the Straw Hat Crew for this movie
3:34 my sister and i went on a marvel marathon. we were silent during spiderman: homecoming. the silence was broken by "thats how you know that movie was lame. aint nobody say nothing"
The only part that has me disappointed with this movie bombing is that the DC Execs will likely use this as an excuse that Hispanic leads won't perform well in the box office. Hopefully this won't heavily influence their future projects so we get some representation in quality films
Solid movie 🎥 overall nerds know who blue beetle is and it’s better than the flash! Even tho I say that It was gonna flop either way nobody has confidence in Dc films like that since Black Adam till now . Also I’m sure the marvels is gonna flop next month . Even tho I know blue beetle actor still staying as blue beetle maybe it can b on a max show he can show up next
This movie was carried hard by it's cultural references. There's a lot of subtle jokes that can be missed . But that wasn't enough to make it good it was definitely mid. It's something to watch if you got nothing else to do.
Idk tbh, I really enjoyed this one. The jokes hit a lil extra cause I'm Latino. I do agree with you though, there were some holes in the plot but I wouldn't go as far as "saiying" its not worth watching
Based on what he said here, it’s not worth watching. If you’ve seen Iron Man, you’ve seen this story done significantly better. Take out the Hispanic/Latino representation, and this movie is a worse Iron Man.
It's not Iron Man. The themes are different. The character chemistry is different. The feel of watching the movie is different. There's plenty of differences. This guy oversimplified the comparison by a lot.
Saying you feel bad for us is like Karen being sad Back Panther was mid and you deserve better. There was a lot of Hispanic love in that movie, it was a great film.
Here’s the issue with that. You’re wrong. If you don’t see that, I guess I’ll explain. For one, the movie showing legitimate interest in representing Hispanic Americans properly doesn’t make it a good movie. It’s not a movie about the Hispanic American experience; it’s a superhero movie FEATURING that. That’s supposed to be a bonus point, not what makes the movie worthwhile. Second, Black Panther was a legitimately flawed movie in many ways, and the issue is that too many people (clearly you as well) were baited into a false perception of Black skin unity. That was an AFRICAN movie primarily, and most Black people don’t have much (or any) connection to their distant African heritage. So, even if it were a good movie outright, it still isn’t a W for black people. Under typical circumstances, black people and Africans usually have negative views of each other as a group.
The movie was mid, Not the best hero movie but it’s certainly something to watch on your free time if you’re bored. It’s also definitely not better or on the same level as across the spider verse? Seen alot of people saying it was..which was ridiculous.

I feel the same way about it too

It was like one of those old school Cartoon Network live action movies

I'm a dc fan and I'm tired of these L's boss. I need Warner Bros to get it together.

Technically Gunn said blue beetle is the first DCU character but not the DCU film
Felt like I was watching power rangers
I feel like I might enjoy the film I just haven’t seen it yet…I’m just not that interested into rushing to see any new movies nowadays
Now we no going to see a Latino superhero movie in like 10 years
Blue beetle was better than the flash

I almost watched this because of the Mexican cast… almost
🔥🔥🔥
thats not how you pronounce Gal Gadot
Oh...You one of those😑
Loved it
Movie wasn’t terrible but it was some supreme mid
Damn

@@Watermelon_Man no it’s your opinion, your wrong opinion
It was mid.

It’s also definitely not better or on the same level as across the spider verse?
Seen alot of people saying it was..which was ridiculous.
Cause it was boring, predictable, uninspired, and just plain terrible!! I felt like I was watching a movie from 2003…
