Quality is terrible, but here's a sneak peak.

 

[Primal Slayer]

It looks amazing. Trailer was decent, maybe a little too much on the comedy side but still very excited for it to come out and hopefully be a hit.

[ThePowerCosmic]

Honestly, movie looks low-budget. Like Power Rangers. The lighting and cgi are tv quality for me. On a brighter note, it looks funny with endearing characters, I think I'll really enjoy the family aspects. The action also seems like it'll be fun.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Definitely feels like DC’s version of Spider-Man: Homecoming

It was my first thought as well. IronMan-Jr.-Vibes. Im not convinced.

 

[antsman41]

Not that this looks outright bad (can't be worse than Black Adam/Josstice League), but looks more 'tv' and less interesting than Batgirl ever did.

 

[Erik Lensherr]

The hip hop music ruins the trailer

Gives me Assassin's Creed trailer vibes with that Kanye West song

 

[Prison Mike]

Looks fun. It gave me Shazam vibes.

 

[LoganPool]

I thought this was suppose to be in Spanish with English subtitles?? Looks fun. My daughters are huge fans of Xolo Maridueña (from Cobra Kai), so they'll probably love it.

Unfortunately looks like another generic origin story.

Well it was supposedly originally made for HBO Max: 'Blue Beetle' Trailer: Cobra Kai's Xolo Maridueña Stars for DC Comic - Variety

I don't mind that though and can't wait to see this! Xolo was my top choice for this role ever since I saw Cobra Kai and it looks like he'll pull it off.

'Blue Beetle' Star Xolo Maridueña & Director Angel Manuel Soto on the DC Superhero and the Use of Spanish in the Film

 

[bapi]

Looks like a tv series. Very dissapointing.

 

[BobJM]

Looks fun enough but I don't see this getting butts in theaters. Susan Sarandon as the villain gave me a little chuckle though lol.

 

[Filmfreak]

Yeah I smell another superhero flop. Or a break-even situation at the very best, depending on the budget. Could be wrong but I don't see this being the hit they're hoping for.

 

[C Prometheus]

Honestly? I like the look of this a fair bit. It's working with a smaller budget for sure, but I dig that the director is injecting some heavy anime and super sentai energy in this film.

 

[Asr]

I wasn't expecting so many debbie downers in this thread. But I'm still pumped to see this anyway. Huge fan of the character from both Young Justice and Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Hope they get the chance to make a couple of sequels too.

Honestly the only real complaint I have from this trailer is that the Scarab comes across too much like Spider-Man's Karen AI. They could've given the Scarab's voice more personality, and made it a male voice instead.

I loved this shot. Hopefully that sword is used a fair bit.

Agree there.

I also would have included Spanish-language music and a few of the Spanish language scenes from the film in the trailer. Give it a bit of a unique flavour.

 

[CaptainWagner]

I love Jaime ALMOST as much as I love Ted, so I've been waiting for this movie for a LONG time. So far, so good, from the trailer looks pretty much exactly what I'd want. Hope it does well. And hope we get at least some sort of surprise appearance from Ted.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

It's an incredibly low bar, but I already feel like this is going to be the second best Power Rangers movie we have ever gotten since my number 1 is still Guyver: Dark Hero and I am honestly perfectly fine with that.

I really love the look of the suit and the fact that its a mix of practical and CGI.

 

[Iceman]

I thought that was going to be a big factor with this film so it’s surprising/a shame to not have it feature in the trailer.

[TheScarecrow]

I feel like the 90's vibe and what people say is the low budget feel is intentional flavour.

The CGI is not bad, so it's not like its a money issue.
