![]() He gradually becomes much stronger and develops superpowers powers which he tries to hide from his parents. He seems fairly normal apart from being exceptionally intelligent then, as he reaches puberty he starts to change. ![]() They see it as a gift, name him Brandon and raise him as their adopted son. Then one night a craft crashes in the woods in it Tori finds a baby boy. They long for a child but are unable to conceive. Tori and Kyle Breyer are a young couple living in Brightburn, a small town in Kansas. If it's a dark Superman twist, you won't get it. Overall,I don't really know what you're looking for in this story. And finally, the creative decision to add Billie Eillish' 'bad guy' was genius. The gore,is actually quite good there are some really brutal, bloody moments that I enjoyed. The actors do a really good job, and I really wish they had more time to sell us on the material. There are,however, a few redeeming aspects. There are several moments when I thought, yes, this is interesting,but please slow down so I can marinate in it. You're just bouncing from scene-to-scene-to-scene and it's incredibly jarring. It feels like they shot all the scenes individually,but had no idea how to transition, so they stitched them together. The fact that the runtime is limited to 90 minutes, results in a lot of rushed scenes, which are consequenced by my biggest complaint, the editing. This is one of those rare stories,that I feel could really benefit from an additional 30 minutes. The gist of it is a kid wants to be evil one day and just goes ahead killing people. ![]() Honestly, if you take the Superman aspect out of it, this is really just your generic low-budget horror flick. After watching it, I feel like this was a marketing ploy used to sell the script and bring audiences to the door. This film pitched a very simple question - 'What if Superman was evil?'. ![]() So in the end, while it does have an interesting concept, it just left me disappointed, cause they had so much material they could've worked with, but they took the easy way out. And to me that feels lazy and the entire movie feels half baked. They just turn him into a psychopath and he starts killing innocent people who didn't deserve to die just because he didn't get his way. No questions as too where he came from? Who are his parents? How'd he get his superpowers? There's no explanation. There's no character development anywhere. Dunn who plays Brandon Beyer has zero character development and is annoying from start to finish. It's as if almost everyone took a different approach, and decided to turn this concept to what if Superman was evil? to What if Jason Vorhees or Michael Meyers had superpowers? But even Jackson A. But instead of coming up with an intellectual script, the script writers took the pieces, threw it into the trash, and turned it into a generic horror film. And what I think is that James Gunn had this interesting concept for this character and all the pieces were there. ![]() This is produced by James Gunn, the same man who gave us two Guardians of the Galaxy. And it does have an interesting concept, it's just poorly executed. What if Superman became evil is what I would sum up Brightburn in a nutshell. Brightburn stars Elizabeth Banks who is trying to have a child with her husband, but when an alien spaceship crashes in Kansas, they adopt the child and raise him as one of their own. ![]()
