Blue Beetle | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Christina Newland iNews.co.uk Blue Beetle does contain glimmers of something fresh, but it also feels like too little, too late in the face of oncoming changing tide in audience tastes. Rated: 2/5 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Blue Beetle | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Sergio Burstein Los Angeles Times 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] Oct 5, 2023 Full Review Blue Beetle | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Jake Wilson 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 Sep 14, 2023 Full Review Blue Beetle | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Ian Kane Epoch Times The Blue Beetle emerges as a noble superhero, so averse to wanton violence that it’s amusing to watch him apologize to some of the villains he’s forced to defend himself against. Rated: 4/5 Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Blue Beetle | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Joonatan Itkonen Toisto.net Blue Beetle is the kind of throwback that reminds us just how far we’ve come with comic book movies... Especially when the studio behind them plays it so safe, the end result is as bland and flavorless as this. Rated: 1/5 Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Blue Beetle | Rotten Tomatoes (6) 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 Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

ERICKA I absolutely loved it!!!!!!!! Seeing some of the original voices was amazing!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Eric AM A fun movie with a lot of heart and some genuinely cool fight scenes. Their family bond and love felt believable rather than forced and the cast was excellently casted. Especially Xolo and George Lopez. The grandma is definitely a scene stealer and the suit looks perfect as well as 99.9% comic accurate. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review Christopher M I would say this movie is the best movie of all of the DCAU. It’s a wonderful movie to take the kids and a great movie to show of the blue beetle lore. It’s a great gateway into his comics Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/04/24 Full Review Jacob M As the rating says, it was meh and it passed the time. even after a second viewing, still didn't get into it. Just another DC movie trying to be like a Marvel movie. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Aldo Blue Beetle is a very underrated super hero in media. This movie did him justice and I absolutely loved it! 10/10 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/29/24 Full Review Mauricio funny and different..
