Our Review
Blue Beetle (2023) is a action and sci-fi film from Movies. It runs about 128 minutes. It premiered on August 18, 2023. Viewers rate it 5.9 out of 10.
What Blue Beetle Is About
An animated continuation of Jaime Reyes’ story following Blue Beetle. While the movie didn’t do as well at the box office, this series keeps the character going in a new medium.
What to Expect When You Watch
It runs about 128 minutes and it leans into its action/sci-fi roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the film leans on Xolo Maridueña, Adriana Barraza and Damían Alcázar to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Xolo Maridueña, Adriana Barraza, Damían Alcázar, Elpidia Carrillo, George Lopez and Bruna Marquezine lead the cast.
Key roles include Xolo Maridueña as Jaime Reyes / Blue Beetle; Adriana Barraza as Nana Reyes; Damían Alcázar as Alberto Reyes; Elpidia Carrillo as Rocio Reyes; George Lopez as Uncle Rudy Reyes.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of action, sci-fi and adventure have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Movies’s other originals, a 5.9/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2023 and carried by Movies, it lands hardest with action and sci-fi viewers.
How Blue Beetle Compares
If Blue Beetle lands for you, the next stops are Avatar: The Last Airbender, Attack on Titan and Star Trek: The Next Generation, which share its action/sci-fi lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.
Where to Stream

On the whole Blue Beetle is the kind of film that rewards a patient watch, with Xolo Maridueña and Adriana Barraza doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its action/sci-fi roots, It has held up since 2023 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Blue Beetle is a safe bet for anyone already inside the action and sci-fi lane, the audience score holds around 5.9/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 5.9/10. Watch it if you want action/sci-fi you can settle into.
