Film critic Jonathan Sim's review of Blue Beetle, the new DC Extended Universe (DCEU) superhero movie starring Xolo Maridueña.
. This movie stars Xolo Maridueña as Jaime Reyes, a recent college graduate who finds himself in possession of an artifact known as the Scarab. The Scarab enters his body and turns him into a superhero named the Blue Beetle. This is another serviceable, entertaining superhero movie that offers a lot of fun moments.
Blue Beetle also tackles themes of gentrification and immigration. There is one particular scene that is particularly horrifying because of how true-to-life it is to America’s immigration policy. However, these themes are only a fraction of what this movie is. This is a masterfully exciting piece of popcorn entertainment that offers a lot of enjoyable spectacle.
