Great idea but no substance or reason. Brandon Bryers I.e. evil Superman/superpreteen has no real reason for being evil. No plot structure just a bad kid doing bad things because heโ€™s bad. Special effects are great but I couldnโ€™t get into the movie. Thereโ€™s just no reasonโ€ฆ

I wanted to like this movie but there was no character development and just jump scarers. It was pretty much the paranormal activity of antiheroes.

Director is confused! Don't use James Gunn's name to rip off moviegoers!

If what your looking for is evil Superman this is the movie. Effects could be better. Overall very entertaining.

Fails as a horror film, but excels as a DC movie. Best DC origin story film since Dark Knight!

Movie was too short in my opinion. Focused too much on him being evil so its essentially just another "scary" movie with an evil little kid. Wished there was more development and explaination on motivations as to why hes evil other than the one just thrown in by the movie.โ€ฆ

I enjoyed the concept but I had horror plots that are driven by grossly unreasonable character stupidity. There's no way people can be this dumb and oblivious, I just wanted them all to die already. One of those horror movies where I'm rooting for the bad guy by default.

The movie was just the trailer in longer form. You see everything coming a mile away since its really just an alternate universe take on the Superman myth. But after being disappointed by Avengers Endgame, Game of Thrones, and John Wick 3, its nice to see a movie where youโ€ฆ

Great take on the superman mythos. Definitely is a case for nature over nurture...

Not the most worthwhile film; couldโ€™ve been better. Hopefully anything that comes out of this new โ€œVillain-Verseโ€ created with Brightburn (if any) will expand and give this the umpf it needs to be a great series.

it's hard to comment on this movie without giving spoilers so I'll just say for once the end wasn't so predictable that it made the ending seem rushed and lazy. I had an expectation going in and wasn't disappointed

This movie is great. It's rated R for a reason and completely worth it. I would watch it again and hope they continue with a sequel.

Not much of a horror flick. However, great story. Trailers gave away the big scenes of the movie tho -_- looking forward to seeing it this turns into a nice little franchise

If Superman grew up to be a twisted evil kid and didn't hold back. Enjoyed it.

Watch the trailer and you watched 80% of the movie. Hate movies like this.

In its attempts to provide an antidote to the Marvel Cinematic Universeโ€™s catalogue of liberal fantasies, the film swings too far in the other direction.

Brightburn doesn't ask if you want blood, but you've damn-well got it in this nastily gruesome superhero hack-n-slash that's a nightmare for parents everywhere.
