Reaction: Our entrance into superhero filmmaking didn't completely set the box office on fire, but it did make a killing on home video. No word yet on a sequel from the writer, but don't be too surprised if you eventually see the Blue Beetle return for another film.
"Blue Beetle's flaws distract too much from what actually works. Young actors Aramis Knight and Jake T. Austin look completely lost when forced to act opposite talented veteran actors like Scoot McNairy and Demian Bichir." - Bernie Berkman, The Plain Dealer
"This superhero coming-of-age origin story is highly derivative, but ultimately mildy enjoyable." - George Ryan, Philadelphia Inquirer
"While the film is definitely lacking in the villain department - the generic insect-like alien villains could have used a little personality - the film is ultimately saved by some solid supporting performances from McNairy, Bichir and Basso, as well as the top-notch special effects used to bring the Blue Beetle to life." - Justin Rodriguez, Detroit Free Press
