Blue Beetle reviewed by Alyssa Mora.
Under Ángel Manuel Soto’s direction, Blue Beetle is a superhero movie that sets itself apart within the bloated genre through the deeply connected bonds of Jaime Reyes and his family. Xolo Maridueña is wonderfully cast, able to convey Jaime’s reluctance toward superhero-dom and the fierce protectiveness he feels for his family and community. His Mexican-American identity isn’t just set-dressing, it’s vital to the character and the plot of the film. Though genre cliches and the villain’s relatively uninteresting motivation impede the momentum of the third act, the emotional force behind the movie is enough to make it worth a watch.
