Blue Beetle has moments that are plentifully enjoyed, overall when the humor works, although it does so at the cost of those clichés it supposedly aims to avoid. [Full review in Spanish]

The Age (Australia)

Director Angel Manuel Soto and writer Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer do their best to weave a few additional progressive elements into this basically routine production, evidently aimed at younger viewers.

Rated: 2.5/5

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

For me it's a bifurcated experience with this movie. I appreciated it from a "la familia" level, but on any kind of comic book, action-adventure level, I thought it was kind of subpar.

Pete Vonder Haar

Houston Press

There's a raid on the family home by Kord's private army that's easily the most emotionally devastating scene in any 21st century DC movie (you heard me, Martha), and would stand toe-to-toe with many of Marvel's as well.

Rated: 3.5/5

El estímulo

Ten years ago, Angel Manuel Soto's "Blue Beetle" would have been a hit. But it appears at the lowest point of the genre to tell basically the same story. [Full Review in Spanish]

Rated: C+

The key is that family unit and the characters... I like this family. I want to see more of this family. I care about this family.
