Brightburn - Blu-ray + DVD + Digital

Good movie

It was a good movie. Not too long and not too short.

OK, minus the fast pace & very weak story line; this is a good movie.

The Gore, high-octane violence and shock points will scratch the itch for horror fans and the kid/monster does fit nicely for comic book universe fans. Just don't expect a huge story, characters or plot.

It's more of a "what would happen if ....." type of movie. It's only goal is to show you the other side of a well known premise. I think it did a good job of doing that.

Imagine the young Clark Kent story minus the cushy, love-fest of goodness and add the huge ego of a super-being with no remorse or mercy on the weak little, inferior humans.

I think it's why they didn't bother building upon the characters. If they did concentrate more on character development the movie would very quickly become boring because; who doesn't know the Superman story/characters already? (They even used the same female actor that played "Mom" in one Superman movie)

I think the creators did well to show what could be if a Superman type being (as a kid) was really an egotistical bully, hellbent on one day "taking the world" for his own.

That being said, in a lot of ways this could build into a part two with a nemesis character hero, or with a little more imagination- something even better.

Personally, I hope they do a Brightburn 2 - continuing the Superman parallels.

Brightburn takes the classic superhero origin story and flips it on its head, offering a delightfully twisted and heart-pounding ride. If you’re looking for a film that combines a touch of the whimsical with a healthy dose of “what if,” then this is your perfect pick!

Imagine a young boy with extraordinary powers landing in a small town, and instead of becoming a beacon of hope, he decides to embrace his darker side. That’s Brightburn in a nutshell—a fresh, imaginative take on the superhero genre that’s both thrilling and unexpectedly fun.

The film follows Brandon Breyer, played with an eerie intensity by Jackson A. Dunn. From his unsettlingly calm demeanor to his dramatic transformation, Dunn brings a captivating depth to the role. The juxtaposition of an innocent child’s face with his superhuman abilities creates a uniquely chilling yet fascinating dynamic.

What makes Brightburn truly special is its blend of classic superhero elements with a dose of horror. It’s like if Superman had a mischievous streak and decided to wreak a bit of havoc. The special effects and visual storytelling are top-notch, giving the film a stylish, polished look that enhances the otherworldly experience.

And let’s not forget the whimsical side of things! There’s a certain glee in watching a film that dares to take a well-trodden genre and inject it with such creative flair. The moments of dark humor and the film’s audacious premise make it a memorable watch.

Overall, Brightburn is a refreshing, thrilling ride that will make you view superhero stories in a whole new light. It’s fun, inventive, and definitely not your typical superhero fare. If you’re ready for a movie that’s as imaginative as it is entertaining, grab some popcorn and dive into this quirky, heart-pounding adventure!

Fine movie, worth a watch but the plot certainly moves a bit fast.

I am so bummed to learn that there's some sort of weird reason as to why there isn't going to be a sequel to this absolutely flawless movie. It is so good. The acting is superb and the storyline cannot be beat. The ending leaves you completely in belief that there will be a sequel but it turns out that it can't happen. You know, sometimes people need to just be cool and give audiences what they want for a change. It's bad enough that the sequel to joker is a musical. Anyhow, watch this movie. It's so good.

Imagine Superman raised without scruples. Realizing his can dominate anyone. Anything. This Brighburn. Yes, some point inconsistencies or foibles of the earthly parents. Nonetheless, it makes one wonder what if our man of steel was not here to serve mankind. But here to serve himself at the expense of mankind!

Ok. IF you do not apply SUPERMAN to your view of this movie, then it is FAR easier to enjoy it for what it is. Granted, plagiarizing the most famous Superhero in existence is nothing new, but you HAVE to make adjustments to allow for a NEW continuity

A. Mom and Dad ARE the Kents, per their lifestyle,etc. The parallel, to me, would mean that either the writer did not factor in that a HARSH upbringing would cultivate a more REALIZBLE, and relatable scenario to produce an evil Super...OR he implies that the ship controls the kid. He had emotions BEFORE his "emergence" and none after, sdie from saddness prior to what happen3ed in the final barn scene...and that could have been overacting and not a script issue as it means he liked no one but his mom :)

B. YOU CANNOT go tit for tat. By doing that, like they did with the parents, you create a narrative view that ALREADY exists. When you cross over that border, ANYTHING will be nit picked. An example, how does he go from Average, nerdy kid, to godly, evil, super, in the space of 4 days ? Again, either the spaceship computer,Ai, whatever, controls him, OR.....good writing did not exist, and only plagiarism with quirky ideas added. The path should have taken a time frame that seemed more filled with grief and frustration. As it was written, and acted, it plays it as if they kid is evil and realizes it.....the spaceship makes him thus, or he "just decided"

It just lacked a LOT of body to be a "what if he had gone down the other road" type of story

NoW !

If you can step back and rewatch it as a horror movie, without imposing Superman as the mental narrative, except evil, then the movie is not too bad. I know, it is hard to not think of pink elephants, but it can be done.

The 1st tiem I watched it, in theaters, I had some MONSTEROUS expectations. Then I realized how lacking the content was and the PREVIEW literally gave the entire movie away, I was bummed. Told people it was "Meh". The second time I watched the movie. I did not make it a Superman parallel, nor a superhero movie.The second time I watched the movie I made it an Alien Horror story involving a kid who decides that humans are best when dead, as it is put forth, and not a reverse story

A lot of people stick with a view and do not care to step outside of their view. I try to see it a few times to shake off the 1st viewing opinion.

It helps me understand a movie or TV show better. I mean, my wife was teasing me yesterday as I have Watched Umbrella Acadamy season 1 3 times now and The Boys twice. if you get a negative feeling about a movie, or it causes you to question the expense, see it again when it comes out on video. Cheaper and you can try to view it in a different manner. If your view is 100% in the OTHER direction, then you;ve tried to hard and need to see it a 3rd time :)

The movie is a SOLID 3, or a 5.5 on IMDB to me. The 1st tiem I saw it, it would have been a 2 here and a 3 there :)

Utilisation personnel. Je n'ai pas aimé du tout irréel. Je l'ai donné un ami qui lui a aimé.

MUY BUEN PRODUCTO

No SITE menciona que o filme tem legendas em Português, porem o filme não tem legendas em Português.

日本語版ではないことが、残念。しかし、ストーリーは面白い。スーパーマンは必ずしも地球を救ってくれる正義の味方ではない。子供に恐怖を感じる点ではオーメンに通ずるかも。もっと話題になってもいい映画ではないでしょうか。
