Brightburn’s biggest flaw is it’s lack of depth. It fails to provide anything meaningful to its a characters, and doesn’t provide much exposition to exist. Instead of telling a interesting arch, or presenting fresh ideas, it shrinks to being a supervillain torture porn feature. Admittedly, it does it well, with some good effects and gore, not to mention a weird atmosphere, but that can’t be its backbone. I appreciate for providing a interesting synopsis, but it hardly attempts it.

I understand the hate, but I really liked how it skipped over the origin story because we have already seen it in multiple Superman movies. It has some pretty surprising gore and I love the what if Superman was bad plot.

It's not enough to have a cool premise. For a movie about a supernatural killer boy I expected a few turns here and there. This was more of a straight toss of the ball down a straight corridor.

Concept is brilliant. I just wholly hate "how" Brandon became the villain. It is in a fashion that completely robs him of any agency to his actions. Therefore he doesn't feel _any_ consequence for his actions and neither do I as a viewer.

Great concept, wasted opportunity. What starts as an intriguing idea is wasted because it goes unnecessarily full gore-horror mode and takes itself way too seriously, sucking the fun out of this. The story is also a little directionless; I mean there's not much you can do if Superman is not on our side, right? So they kinda paint themselves into a corner and it doesn't have a satisfying ending which only adds to the issues that this had.

Completely baffled by the lack of love for this. Sure, it's too short and slight and doesn't explore its themes in any meaningful way, but in an era of severely overlong and over-indulgent superhero movies, this mean, nasty, no holds barred approach to the Superman myth had me on the edge of my seat. Fantastic work by the SFX team as well. How did they manage to make this look so good on a budget of 6 million dollars? Fully onboard with the idea of a sequel.

"Dude, what if we wrote a slasher movie, but the killer is like evil Superman as a kid, and also there's this other plot line that's really convenient and doesn't make sense, where his parents can't decide if they know he's a weird alien or not, and also we never combine the two or go anywhere with either of them, and it's really trashy and silly, but takes itself super seriously?" "Duuuude....duhuhuhuuude!" The ending was pretty cool, though. Not that it mattered. Also liked the jaw thing. :)

I'm sure I'll sound pretty much like everyone else here, but the general consensus is that "Brightburn" has an intriguing new spin on the Superman story, but botches the execution horribly. The chief problem here is that for a movie that spends a good half of its runtime setting up this evil version of Superman, but it fails to convince the audience that the evil origin is believable--even the traditional Superman was more believable, and that's a low bar to miss.

A nice little gory movie. Everybody seems to be talking about that eye, but I was much more freaked out by the jaw scene. Seat belts people, that's why we wear them! I think I would have liked it more if I hadn't just been reading The Boys, which takes a somewhat similar concept, but really runs with it. But if they get around to making Evil!Aquaman and Evil!WonderWoman, my butt will be in the seat to watch them.

A film with serious potential settles for rendering a flipped concept into a traditional slasher film with new elements. Well acted by Jackson Dunn the film just added one too many clichés which ultimately hurt the originality factor it had going. Aside from potential this film didn't really do anything unconventional and while still entertaining did not wow me like I was expecting. Squandered opportunity like many good ideas that have come before it with poor execution.

I’m not a fan of science fiction and then blending it with horror But this movie does that in a very effective way they market it as Super Hero Horror But I don’t see it that way Super Villain Horror maybe....Not necessarily scary gross out horror but kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat

I had a chuckle at the concept to be sure and there were a couple of impressive "Oh shit!" gore moments. But ultimately something about it felt kind of shallow and undercooked and unpleasant; I can't imagine ever watching it again.

There's so much potential here for future sequels, that I'm already disappointed that it'll never happen. I've always thought of this scenario in my head...how much destruction could Superman do if he were evil, and how would anyone stop him. They wouldn't. He would just go on killing everyone in his way, and that's what this movie is. Little story and lots of kills....and it''s glorious!

A very strong premise & some great performances by Banks, Denman & Williams as well as the supporting cast cannot save an extremely muddled script that runs into more & more problems as it goes along. Hurt by an awkward opening sequence, rushed or nonsensical character development, too much left unexplained & some moments that are more corny than scary, it does have positives- specifically the (mostly) believable Brandon character & the gruesome kills. It's nothing amazing, but it's okay.

The movie never puts meat on the bones of its premise, merely gives you various money shots of Superman's powers used for ill. I will say it has incredibly convincing and detailed graphic effects, and it is generally cool that somebody did make this a movie. I just wish it was a short instead of a feature if they weren't going to do more than was done here

Brightburn is a film built entirely around a fantastic premise. For those who were already in it for the concept, it'll work just fine. For those who are seeking an intelligent reversal of the Superhero genre, Brightburn is nothing more than a superpowered slasher flick. A well-acted but extremely watered down version of the far superior Chronicle (2012)

Good movie that was really a little too bloody to work. Could have been a great beginning to a series of antihero films.

Film sanırım "Saw" daki karakterin çocukluğunu anlatıyor ve özellikle yapımında hiç yenetek sahibi insan çalışmamasıyla dikkat çekiyor.

Some nice gore and at least he kills his parents in fashioned ways. But it also doesn't go anywhere.
