Honestly the 5/10 is possibly a bit generous but Xolo Maridueña gave such a great performance that it certainly lifts the film. Apart from that, what more can be said? It's just another Superhero Film which to me, is heartbreaking to say because 5 years ago, I would be saying the more the merrier! Little did I know that writers would be going on strike because they were worried about AI stealing their jobs (I am aware it's not just that, pay is a massive factor too) but it feels like AI is already writing these films..... It is SO by the numbers. It could easily be just another Iron Man/Spider-Man/Ant-Man/Shazam! Etc. It just happens to be about Blue Beetle who is actually a fun and interesting character but is in a mostly boring movie.
The weirdest decision in this film is that Jaime is extremely against killing but I guess is perfectly fine with his family members doing it....? Jaime isn't aware of this moment at the time but Rudy kills someone and Mili yells "20 points!". It is so incredibly jarring consindering like 10 minutes ago Jaime was adamant about not killing.
Anyway you already know everything that is going to happen in this film within the first 5 minutes, even the credits scenes were predictable.
