The Reel Critic Reviews ‘Blue Beetle’

In this week’s review, Reggie delves into the origin story of a fresh DC superhero in Blue Beetle.

A new legend begins in Blue Beetle. The course of young Jaime Reyes’ (Xolo Maridueña) life takes a dramatic turn when he comes into possession of an ancient piece of alien technology: the scarab. This artifact becomes much more powerful than it seems when it chooses Jaime as its host, melding with his body. The outcome is a remarkable fusion that grants Jaime access to a potent suit of armor, bestowing upon him immense powers and paving the way for his transformation into a superhero.

The cast of Blue Beetle includes Bruna Marquezine, Becky G, Damián Alcázar, George Lopez, Susan Sarandon and Raoul Trujillo.
