Review of Blue Beetle

Blue Beetle (2023)
3/10
Average, Formulaic with some poor plot points
6 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
So the aunt was developing weapons. The daughter did not like that but wasn't the one running the company. Her dad designed those weapons and built his own, which she used. It didn't make sense. Besides, there is nothing wrong with building enhanced suits for soldiers, that will save lives, when your being invaded by alien armies every few years!

The room with the alien tech in it, didn't have anyone guarding it. She pickpockets a pass and walks in, then walks out. Walking past the entrance to another corridor that did have a guard next to it. What was in that corridor that it warranted a guard? And this one with the advanced weapon in it did not? Then the scientist she stole the pass from, walks back into the room without his pass?

The building it put in lockdown, but the boy just walks out. So much for lock down.

The beetle suit (and OMAC) is never explained. It can seemingly do anything but how? Where do the bullets come from? How are they replenished? How is it charged?

When they drain the suit for the code, they tell us repeatedly it will kill him. They drain the code, but he lives. So what a waste of time. A plot point that went nowhere.

Blue Beetle doesn't want to kill. But the Uncle is willing to stab people with the bug mobile legs. Grandma machine guns down security guards just doing their job.

The Uncle builds a localised signal jammer, and the building he uses it on with high-tech weapons inside doesn't hit the alarm when all their feeds go dead. Besides the fact that there was zero guards in the main lobby, and the blue beetle tech is in a display cabinet which can be picked with a paperclip?

The uncle can pilot the bug mobile having never seen it before, just because he drives a truck. He knows where all the buttons are and how to do tight manoeuvres .
