Blue Beetle | Rotten Tomatoes (1) 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 (2) 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 (3) Peter Rainer FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) For me it's a bifurcated experience with this movie. I appreciated it from a "la familia" level, but on any kind of comic book, action-adventure level, I thought it was kind of subpar. Sep 7, 2023 Full Review Blue Beetle | Rotten Tomatoes (4) 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 (5) 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 Blue Beetle | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Aglaia Berlutti El estímulo Ten years ago, Angel Manuel Soto's "Blue Beetle" would have been a hit. But it appears at the lowest point of the genre to tell basically the same story. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: C+ Jan 18, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Why did people not like the Blue Beetle? ›

It's terrible - felt so rushed and low-depth at some points that you'd feel like pausing to not continue watching anymore. CGI was bad for some parts too, but that can still be overlooked as most of it gets the job done quite well. But the writing, man, it's awful.

Is Blue Beetle a good or bad movie? ›

Blue Beetle has a cheap kid's TV-movie look and feel most of the time. I enjoy the social commentary, some of the horror leanings, the film's anime action and some dialogue and character moments stand out. But beyond that, it's sadly, predictably, nothing especial.

Blue Beetle had a lackluster start at the box office but enjoyed favorable critical reception. The film had a worldwide gross of $128.6 million, with $71.2 million coming from the US and Canada.
