646f9e108c Their wish to become comic book heroes forces three kids to take on the heroes' mortal enemies.
A trio of preteens are dared by two snobby brothers into going into a haunted house that is occupied by a trio of monsters. The kids accidentally free a genie that is trapped in a pipe organ. The genie offers to grant the kids one wish. The kids decide they want to become their favorite comic book heroes "BeetleBorgs". The genie grants the kids' wish but also accidentally unleashes the villains from the comics. Now the kids must use their new powers to get the villains back into the comics .
This show was okay. It had some neat stories and some effects which were not all that bad. It had a more serious aspect to it than early Power Rangers. The biggest problem with this show was how it tried to fit in too much, with all weapons, allies and villains. They should of tried to space it out. Otherwise, this was a pretty good show.
I have had a fascinations with insects, robots, monsters, and drawing and this season was the perfect marriage of those things. I only saw this season but is was good enough. I liked how the heroes were able to think and use their powers outside of battle creatively, especially with their "Bug-out" power which transforms them into insects. The armor, weapons, vehicles and monsters were very cool, especially head villain Nukus (played with utter glee by Christopher Cho). Do I have a favorite Beetleborg? No! One particular episode with a Piranha monster proved that. Why did I give this show an 8? It was good mindless relief for a time and the other factor was that the show ended rather abruptly due to lack of stock footage. Otherwise it was a good, less violent and equally enjoyable experience.
