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…

Bad Superman.
You mean Evil Superman, right?
Nope. Just bad, bland, beige, boring Superman.

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

This film comes from producer James Gunn, screenwriters Brian and Mark Gunn, who are his cousins, and the director David Yarovesky who had a minor role in Guardians of the Galaxy.
You already know what’s this film about. It’s like an episode of The Twilight Zone in which Superman learns how to use his powers in a bad way.
This was a quite mixed bag for me. It had some good elements and it was very entertaining, but the script heavily dragged this film down.From start to finish, the script felt uninspired. The script was based on an interesting concept. Unfortunately, the concept is the only thing there’s in this film, it was lazily written. I hate using the…
