So, without knowing anything about the source material, I have no interesting in seeing this film and the trailer didn’t do anything to change my mind.

But that’s me … if you’ve seen it, what was it that drew you in?

I'm an old school Blue Beetle fan from the 70s. Loved every minute of it.

That's cool! That sounds like the true experience fans are after in this comic movie era ... see, for the first time, their fav character brought to life.

I like the character and the actor, so I saw it today and was very pleasantly surprised and enjoyed it a lot.

Haven't watched it, the trailer or read anything about it.

I will pirate it once available to see if Booster Gold is in it. About it.

Booster is not in it. Wrong B.B. But he is going to have a TV show and there is room for Ted Kord to pop up in it.
