Blue Beetle (2023)

You know when you come across something and its getting such a kicking that you feel sorry for it? Well that's how I felt about Blue Beetle. The film seems to be getting such a negative reaction that its doomed to fail. I wanted to see this film because I think that the current crop of DC films have been hugely disappointing.  The film is a more straight forward and traditional superhero movie which is a blessed relief after Marvel seem to have got most people think that they need convoluted and increasing number of plot strands. This has Jamie get given a burger box by Jenny and is told not to open the box but of course the film wouldn't happen and so he opens the box and is given the super powers. It seems like this is how superhero movies use to be but has fallen out of style for some reason. The thing that gets me annoyed is when the family has a go at Jenny for what has happened to Jaime when Jenny told him NOT TO OPEN THE BOX!!!!  Susan Sarandon is ok in the film. She do...
