Blue Beetle is actually good... if you're Latino.

 The movie is a bit too on the nose about Jaime Reyes being a Latino. The Saltines might be a bit lost and find Miguel's sorry, Jaime's family a bit Cringy. Palmera City is very Candiarican...  with the Fancy Higher class Areas filmed in Canada and the Ghetto areas being filmed in Puerto Rico... movie has a Puerto Rican director, yo. Scary thing is that some of these were filmed rather close to one of the places where I used to live as a child. Even that insufferable prick, George Lopez was tolerable. Susan Sarandon was soectacular, even if I felt like the role gave her very little to do.

Unfortunately, the movie suffers from a few things:
- It's a DCEU movie and after Hack Snydurr ruined the DCEU, people have lost faith in DC movies despite the last few being decent. WB should've pulled the plug after BvS, but Aquaman brought money (thanks Horny women) that gave WB a false sense of hope.

- Superhero Fatigue is a real thing and it's hittong hard. For a Wednesday night showing, it was ¾ full. 

-The movie is tied to the DCEU, but it's not. So, Snydertards can claim it's a "Gunnverse" movie if it does bad, but if it does good, it's a "Snyderverse" movie.

I won't spoil it, but go and watch it. It's an enjoyable ride... kinda makes me wish we had a Ted Kord era movie.
