Superhero fatigue must be a thing…The reviews for this movie are pretty positive, but I still don’t feel like checking it out.
I can already imagine the protagonist being torn between his newfound role as a superhero and the demands of family, only to realize after a long series of humorous situations that he can serve both by being true to himself, and… Yeah.
I watched it last night and you’re not close. Still not sure I’d recommend it, though.
Really? I watched the trailer and that was the exact vibe it gave off. Maybe that formula works so well that they decided to advertise the movie that way, instead of showing what the movie was actually like?
Trailer companies don’t have access to the whole movie. They just hack together whatever they can maybe with some director input, iirc.

It is for me, at least for Marvel. I think the last one I saw in theaters was Black Panther 2. I’ve never seen any other Marvel movie (or series) since then. DC not much either, but it’s more because they’re terrible. I watched The Flash at home and I’m so glad I didn’t waste money in the cinema for that cgi garbage.
Actually no. The family steps up. Nana kicks ass. It’s refreshing that the main cast aren’t just fodder for the plot.
And I helped! :)
But seriously, even among comics nerds, B.B. is largely an unknown property and the super generic trailers didn’t help.
Doesn’t help that it just looks like an off-brand Iron Man. I saw one trailer and had no desire to watch anything related to it
Like I said, the super generic trailers didn’t help.
It’s Iron Man, but replace the alcoholic billionaire with a broke fresh college graduate, and replace Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan with a multi-generational Hispanic family.
Movie looked like total garbage based on the trailers.
It’s a good comics movie. They did a pretty good job of covering 83 years of comic book history spread across three characters.
PG Deadpool was the impression I got
Blue Beetle is a more down to earth Batman.
Why are box office numbers always framed as a competition in the USA? Did I read once that, for example, movies in France report the number of people that attended–not how much money was spent?
First Oppenheimer, now Blue Beetle.
I still don’t get what my movie has to do with either one of these movies.
It has become an easy way to create a narrative in American movies, especially after Covid cleared the slate on how movies used to perform.
This movie was meh. I tried. I really did. I wanted to like it. But it wasn’t it.
Why?
Idk man… It felt like they forgot to include scenes that would connect shots together? Idk if I’m making sense (it’s been a while since I saw it and I only saw it once so…).
All still trying to cash in on even a glimmer of what Nolan’s Dark Knight accomplished. That’s the reality. It has been ever since that time.
