Quickly and quietly, comic books have become a pastime for entomologists. The superhero world is now at the mercy of the insectoid, and their stories are easily put on the studio stream: this is true for both Marvel (keep Ant-Man in mind) and the DC Universe, which dared to give a chance to a new, almost unknown superhero - teenager Jaime Reyes, the lucky owner of an alien bug suit. Releasing another comic book movie after the relative failure of "The Flash" is a presumptuous decision for Warner Bros, but director Angel Manuel Soto has prepared a film with the most, it would seem, winning variables: here and a teenage superhero in the manner of Peter Parker, fighting with madmen out of dangerous laboratories, and in its own enticing Latin American flavor with Mexican temperament, sense of humor and fire - a kind of attempt to try on themselves that once worked at Marvel with "Black Panther" and its African energy. And by dramaturgy, as well as by technical level, "Blue Beetle" is like a product of the inglorious 2000s, not too much burdened with moral dilemmas and plot sharpness: the guy just needs to try on the suit, realize the power with responsibility, defeat the villain, well, and at the end go off into the sunset with a beautiful girl.

Trouble is, the nostalgia for simplicity and ease is only half-heartedly charming. "Blue Beetle" is tiresome in its desire to return to where Spider-Man started: not the most respectable neighborhoods in the city, a young boy having trouble figuring out his future path in life, plus an edifying moral with a father whom the plot assigns the same fate as Uncle Ben. The Mexican family looks bitterly at the high-rise corporate buildings, and the cause of all the troubles, it is easy to guess, are the megalomaniac managers: a tasteless villain played by Susan Sarandon, who was assigned a dubolomnogo strongman as a bodyguard (here Raul Max Trujillo in a technological exoskeleton has already tried his best). The movie has several exciting action scenes - some quite obscenely reminiscent of "Iron Man": the hero goes on his first flight, and the camera accurately conveys the advanced interface of the suit. Surprisingly, there's no adrenaline-fueled AC/DC jams.

When the plot intrigue, as well as the Mexican flavor, wears off, "Blue Beetle" doesn't shy away from comedy. Here are eccentric family members watching their unique relative-superhero, and grandmother without a second thought arms herself with a high-tech gun: for the sake of family, you will go for more than that, because family, as the moral echoes, is the most important thing. In general, "Blue Beetle" - unassuming superheroics, without sharp angles and extremes, but with a general task to expand its audience at the expense of Latin American viewers. Now they, too, will rightly feel complicit in the high-profile superhero mythos that has often bypassed Mexican neighborhoods and their plight. But despite its motley and upbeat electronic soundtrack, the brainchild of Angel Manuel Soto is unable to offer anything original: not a single creative move capable of extending the life of the hard-winged insect in any way. "Blue Beetle" has already shown itself to be a disappointing start (in the history of the DC Universe and the worst at all) - this trend may soon bring down the entire hegemony of comic books in the blockbuster market, proving once again: people are gradually getting tired of fast, flying and insect-like superhumans.
