  We Need to Talk About Clark Kent

  Review by Matt Singer ★★★★ 18

  The details of Superman’s origin are so ingrained in pop culture they’re rarely questioned, but dwell on them for even a second and the story becomes completely deranged. A kind couple from Kansas discovers an alien baby in a space ship and raises it as their child? When he begins displaying world-changing (or perhaps world-destroying) super powers, they take it in stride and keep it secret? How do they know this thing won’t eat them?

  They don’t, and that’s the point. The original Superman story is about the triumph of American values over everything else. Clark Kent doesn’t just fight for truth, justice, and the American way; his entire personality was forged by those ideals. They transformed him from strange…

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  It’s a no from me... The best part of the movie was the credits when Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy played.

  Bad Superman.

  You mean Evil Superman, right?

  Nope. Just bad, bland, beige, boring Superman.

  But what about the gory bits?

  Fine. Bad Superman with some cool gory bits.

  Review by LinusMxx ★★★ 14

  Pros:
  • Genuinely scary
  • Outrageous violence and lots of gore
  • Elizabeth Banks' performance
  • The ending

  Cons:
  • An intriguing concept that they didn't utilize that much. What a waste!

  Also, Billie Eilish's "Bad Guy" played during the end credits. I thought it was hilariously cheesy and I don't know if that's a good/bad thing.

  Overall, Brightburn is a lot of fun if you're just in the mood for simple entertainment that didn't require much thought. It's bloody, funny, and crazy! It could've been written better but oh well! One of my guilty pleasures of 2019.

  Really makes you think. Like, what IF Superman was an evil little boy? Probably would be bad news.
