Turned out to be one of the best DC films to-date, with the likes of Watchmen (from a comics fan POV). I highly respect the way they did the movie, as I read the comic version of this, and actually casting Mexican's to fit with the comic and keep it the way it was when Jaime Reyes became the Blue Beetle. I did not re-read the books prior to watching the film, but I remember certain panels very clearly, and I really respect the authenticity from comic-to-film.
Edit: The comic started in 2006 during "Infinite Crisis" and there weren't a lot of books with Mexican's as the headliner, and what it is like in the US for Mexican American's in the US. So while this movie may feel like yet-another-superhero movie with a Mexican twist, it is more, as this book took a chance and as a person who was never big into DC, I read the first volume of this via issues on my pull list.
