First Reactions to DC’s ‘Blue Beetle’ Are In: “A Heartfelt, Self-Contained, and Joyful Family Story”

Early reactions to DC's 'Blue Beetle' are positive. The film's marketing could use improvement, but it's a strong entry into James Gunn's DC Universe.

The first reactions to DC’s ‘Blue Beetle‘ are out. According to reports, the film has received positive responses, along with suggestions that it deserves better marketing from Warner Bros. Pictures. This film marks a strong entry into James Gunn‘s DC Universe, and Xolo Maridueña‘s performance as Jaime Reyes is exceptional.

Reports confirm ‘Blue Beetle’ has two major post-credit scenes. Details remain undisclosed to prevent spoilers but are hinted at being “something bigger.”

We already reported that DC’s Blue Beetle has the potential to be the highest-grossing comic book movie (CBM) of the year. The success of a film at the box office is challenging. It depends on various factors, including brand recognition, competition, marketing efforts, critical reception, and audience preferences. While Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and The Flash were well-received, the crowded movie landscape could pose challenges to Blue Beetle’s success.

DC’s ‘Blue Beetle’ Reviews:

According to Twitter/X user @BrandonDavisBD, ‘Blue Beetle’ echoes elements of superhero films like Iron Man, Shazam! and Spider-Man: Homecoming, and. Angel Manuel Soto is so authentic in his directing, which is what makes the film unique. It’s a fun, contained story, and the family drives it. I enjoyed the movie.

Some are too silly or childish for me, but a lot had me laughing loudly (George Lopez!). The practical suit rocks. The Latino representation is awesome. I enjoyed the family-centric stakes and solid action beats. Overall, it’s fun.

According to Twitter/X user @JeremyJLop, ‘Blue Beetle’ is DC’s top-notch entry into the world of the DCU. A heartfelt, origin story that takes you back to the Iron Man era with action sequences straight from the anime world. Xolo Maridueña is Jaime Reyes, who delivered an outstanding performance. You don’t want to miss this one. Rating 10/10.

According to Twitter/X user @adcfanboy, ‘Blue Beetle’ is one of the best movies of DC’s modern era. Right up there with the first Wonder Woman movie. Fun. Emotional. Culturally significant. Extremely funny. I was blown away. Jaime Reyes absolutely deserves to be a part of the new DCU.

According to Twitter/X user @bigscreenleaks, DC should’ve marketed ‘Blue Beetle’ more. It’s a fun, self-contained, and emotional story about family. Xolo Maridueña is perfectly cast and SHINES as Jamie Reyes. George Lopez and Bruna Marquezine are also standouts. I’m so happy that Blue Beetle is the first DCU character.
