While photos of empty seating charts suggest that not many people will be seeing Blue Beetle in the coming days and weeks, Fox Sports 1 personality Joy Taylor is actually one person that has.
Taking to Instagram to share both her review of the film and the revealing blue leather outfit she wore to the premiere, the 36-year-old Taylor praised the latest cinematic swing from DC.
“What a fun movie! I loved Blue Beetle. This film was funny, family, action and culture!” Taylor said in her brief review on Instagram.
Although the *film* is not a part of the soon-to-be-launched DCU, co-CEO and creative mastermind James Gunn said that the *character* is the first in the DCU. If that is actually the case, it’s certainly a promising start for the DCU as Blue Beetle has opened to a very solid 82% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Check out the official synopsis for Blue Beetle below, via Warner Bros.:
