Blue Beetle (2023)
5/10
Meh, it's a way to kill a couple hours.

Apparently movie makers have lost all concept of what it takes to make a great superhero movie. When everyone in the movie is cast as some sort of hero, it really takes away from the gravitas of the one super hero. What's the need for the super hero, if everyone can defeat the enemy.

This movie is slow at the start, slow in the middle, and a failure in the end. The story is non-impactful to the viewer. It's impossible to become emotionally invested in the main characters, because every character is treated the same. Basically, it's the idealist version of a communist hero movie, everyone is equal, and the only thing special about the title character is some mechanical/AI enhancements. But, without everyone else, he could never have won the battle, because he is less special than everyone else, despite being the chosen one. Boring, unimaginative and cliche.
