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 he’s bad. Special effects are great but I couldn’t get into the movie. There’s just no reason for his actions, no ulterior motive, basically there’s no point no substance. Save your money and watch something else.

This does not need a sequel a prequel or a spinoff.

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

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.

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. This is a promising story with potential to become something great. Just hope future movies are thought a little more through and produced with substance.

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 you get exactly what you expected. No more, no less.

If they focused more on a solid story line instead of gore and moments that make you jump then it could’ve been great. So much potential wasted.

Good and bad.... it's worth it for $1. I wouldn't recommend anyone to spend a regular ticket price for this movie. it's literally of no substance. great just bad AF for no reason given in depth 🤷🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️

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

In its attempts to provide an antidote to the Marvel Cinematic Universe’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.
