【影視】讚不絕口！《Blue Beetle 藍甲蟲》首波影評出爐

隨住DC首部拉丁裔超級英雄片《Blue Beetle 藍甲蟲 》即將上映，有份參與試映嘅影評人及傳媒陸續分享首波評價，幾乎所有人都有讚冇彈，其中《FilmSpeak》主持人Griffin Schiller認為《藍甲蟲》係DC嘅一次巨大勝利，同時係對新DC宇宙首位超級英雄嘅精彩介紹。《POC Culture》則表示《藍甲蟲》係「後Christopher Nolan時代」最鍾意嘅DC電影，充滿動作場面，極具娛樂性，並以家庭為核心嘅英雄故事，最獨特嘅地方在於電影毫不掩飾及充滿愛意地分享Reyes家族嘅墨西哥文化。而西班牙影評人Carlos Aguilar就認為電影入面嘅流行文化細節及歷史參照令人印象深刻，尤其係臭名昭著嘅「美洲學校」（專門訓練拉丁裔軍人嘅學校）於故事中佔了重要席位，認為《藍甲蟲》係一部對拉丁美洲有深入了解及關心嘅作品。

#BlueBeetle is a MASSIVE win for DC & an electric introduction to the first hero of the DCU. Xolo Maridueña's charismatic star making performance confidently anchors this intimate synthwave journey of family, heritage, & purpose. A fresh and endearing spin on the origin story! pic.twitter.com/BlpXS2iKFl

#BlueBeetle is my favorite post-Nolan DC film.

It’s an action packed, highly entertaining superhero story about family…& there’s nothing more important than family.

The film is unique in that it lovingly & unabashedly shares the Reyes family’s Mexican culture. @bluebeetle ???? pic.twitter.com/o6Q9kUrbeC

Impressed by the pop culture details & historical references in BLUE BEETLE. From MACARIO, to CRONOS, and El CHAPULÍN COLORADO. But even more so that the infamous School of the Americas is integral to the story. This is the work of filmmakers who know & care about Latin America. pic.twitter.com/Li7ZTK629m

不過，《藍甲蟲》都唔係完全冇缺點嘅，《ComicBook.com》嘅Brandon Davis就認為電影中某些橋段有點幼稚或低齡向，但同時都有好多橋段令佢哈哈大笑，整體嚟講都係一部出色嘅電影。

The #BlueBeetle movie is mostly a blast.

Some is too silly or childish for me, a lot had me laughing loud (George Lopez!). Practical suit rocks. The Latino representation is awesome.

Enjoyed the family-centric stakes, solid action beats. Overall, it’s fun. pic.twitter.com/5qzWIkmDyE

《藍甲蟲》由Ángel Manuel Soto執導，故事講述剛從大學畢業嘅Jaime Reyes（Xolo Maridueña 飾）回到家鄉，本以為可以一展抱負，卻發現老家已經今非昔比。正當佢摸索緊人生目標時，意外被外星生物科技「聖甲蟲」選為宿主，繼而獲得超能力盔甲成為新一代藍甲蟲，命運從此改寫，本周四（17日）正式上映。

Happy to report @angelmanuelsoto's #BlueBeetle was so much better than I expected. He's added his own flavor to the superhero genre by having the film focus on a tight-knit family and Latino culture. It’s fun, extremely funny, and he got away with a few jokes that floored me. pic.twitter.com/TA6I5a9sGl

Happy to report that @angelmanuelsoto’s #BlueBeetle is definitely a great time at the movies! Not only is it a fantastic introduction to Jaime Reyes as a character/hero, but also a love letter to the Latino culture, that focuses on family as its foundation. @bluebeetle 1/3 pic.twitter.com/ieVw0DSR2Z

#BlueBeetle is here & Latinos FINALLY have a superhero of their own reflected on the big screen. The film is so incredibly good, so unique & delivers on all fronts giving the superhero genre much needed sazón! The film 's Tangerine Dream inspired synthwave score also rocks! pic.twitter.com/C6QgvexlTx

DC should’ve marketed #BlueBeetle more. It's a fun, self-contained, emotional story about family. Xolo Maridueña is perfectly cast and SHINES as Jamie Reyes. George Lopez and Bruna Marquezine are also standouts. I'm so happy #BlueBeetle  is the first DCU character. pic.twitter.com/ANyyx2gPXv
