Blue Beetle introduces Jaime Reyes, a young man who becomes the host of an alien scarab, transforming him into a superhero. Xolo Maridueña brings charm and energy to the role, and the film does a solid job highlighting Jaime’s family and cultural background, which adds heart to the story.

The action sequences are visually striking, and the Blue Beetle suit is dynamic and fun to watch. However, the plot leans heavily on familiar superhero tropes, making much of the story predictable. The humor lands occasionally, but the pacing feels uneven, and the villains aren’t particularly memorable.

While it’s entertaining enough for fans of superhero films, it doesn’t quite stand out in a crowded genre.

Final Score: 6/10. A decent, fun watch with heart, but ultimately forgettable.
