Brightburn

Jaw droppingly original and total different approach than the now Burned out unMarvelous trash ..sequels have bright future

Great idea > Good cast > mediocre script > bad plot > horrible directing. It’s a solid 30% at best. Reserve it for a night of Netflix and chill.

If a baby crash lands in an evil looking space ship outside your house (flashing red lights usually indicate evil), you should make it a priority to get it checked over by medical professionals. The fact the parents didn't even report this space ship to the government or at least local councils pisses me off. The technology could have been used by humanity for the betterment of our world (because all humans are obviously inherently good, and use technology always for good purposes). The baby could have been studied, found to be evil and then terminated before realising its full potential; thus saving countless lives and even the future of humanity. If this movie has a moral, it's: "Always report crashed alien spaceships to local authorities as soon as possible". 3.5* Watch the movie and learn from the mistakes made so as not to make these mistakes in your own life.

Brightburn’s premise of delving into the sinister side of the superhero genre is indeed intriguing. However, I felt that the central character, based on this subject matter, should have posed a greater threat than the way the script portrayed him and his narrative. Grading: C

This is an origin story for the ultimate super villain. It’s sci-fi with a healthy dose of horror. Wonderfully done. I absolutely loved it. It really sets up the super villain’s motive for wanting to destroy the world and everyone in it. “Brightburn” takes the bad guy character to a dark place and we are all better off because we get to see it unfold. I’m hoping for a sequel but it doesn’t look like we’ll get it.

The idea is absolutely captivating. Really the beating heart of this movie is the mother & sons relationship. Just how far will a mother go for her child? What could her son do to break the vow she made to love him no matter what? Can he find redemption in that love or can he go too far?

BrightBurn explores the idea of what would happen if Superman (Kal-El) arrived on Earth not to save it, but to conquer it. I also heard that The Crimson Bolt exists in the same universe, so I'm hoping for a connected film in the future.

the film was announced as Superman explicit horror movie.

This evil superman is quite a character, with every character giving him the benefit of the doubt until it is too late. Cool combo of horror and superhero sci fi.

Poor character motivation, no consistency and just unbelievable, nonsensical character decision making to keep the plot moving. And while I don't mind gore, the stuff they did just detracted from the movie. I'm so disappointed because there was so much they could have done exploring concepts with this (like the first time he felt pain and how that might impact on his idea of inflicting it for example) but instead they made another generic, tacky, mediocre movie.
