As a Latino myself, I was looking forward to this film but, I was unfortunately disappointed. I was excited to hear that we had a superhero movie starring a Latino cast coming into the works but, it was executed poorly. There are times when they were trying too hard to portray a Latino family, a bit exaggerated and tried too hard to be funny. The acting from a few of the cast was fine, some of it felt forced. It seems like they didn't put as much heart into this film as they would a Batman film. With some work, this could've been a better viewing experience. Xolo was a great casting choice but could use a bit of work on some of his execution to the character.

College Graduate Jaime Reyes is chosen by a powerful Alien scarab beetle to be its host, bestowing him some amazing powers.

I honestly started to question whether or not superhero films were no longer something of appeal to me, but I see from several reviews, that some people have a few similar problems thay I had, it felt like a Spiderman knock off, a not too successful one.

I'm actually surprised that it was given a theatrical release, it seems more like one of those films that would silently make it's way onto a streaming platform, then just vanish into obscurity.

I had no issues with the acting, Xolo Maridueña was pretty good, and it was great to see Susan Sarandon.

The story was the major problem, we've seen it all before, it's a formula that's simply been done to death, and so much better, it offered nothing original.

As a character, they might as well have done Wind Man or Giraffe girl, they'd have been so much more interesting.

4/10.
