Blue Beetle (2023)

There's a scene in this that's like a comedy version of a horror flick. Like how the newly hatched alien would jump onto the nearest victim's face. Or Starro in the comics. But in this scene, it's played for laughs.  

I like that they acknowledged that this is the third Blue Beetle w/o going into the back story of who the first two were (comic fans will be delighted by the teases). I like that there are heavy chunks in which the characters speak Spanish cos' that's native to them. I love the appearance of the Bug!

The uncle character isn't too bad. It's cool that the costumes are very close to the comic versions. It's also nice to have the ties to the second Blue Beetle, but...

I didn't really dig the story, the bad guys (pretty generic) and some of the support cast (basically everyone except the uncle).
