this movie was so mf stupid i wasted my f****** money
this was white privilege at its finest.
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.
Total crap. Don’t waste your time or your money.
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!
No end game..And Definitely not trying to see a sequel
Ok....weird and no story line whatsoever! Dumb😢
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.
very unexpected and loved the whole anti-hero theme
Like the way it ends
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.
It’s good but not great a better story would have been good.
Random psychotic murder
Ending was not all that great would’ve been better if the mom or dad killed him
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.
Amazing! James Gunn nailed it! So scary and suspenseful
A Superman origin story, but with a horror twist. I... can dig it.
damn the boy is bad. My Asian parents would have beat him till he was good.
It was predictable at times. yet unpredictable and clever. i hope there is a sequel
Not the most worthwhile film; could’ve been better. Hopefully anything that comes out of this new “Villain-Verse” created with Brightburn (if any) will expand and give this the umpf it needs to be a great series.
Worth the watch.
What if Superman was set on conquest?
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
Movie felt like a good game intro story
disliked the ending. great movie all the way until then.
movie was crazy suspenseful!
Great movie hope there's a sequel
crazy movie
Had great twists, creepy, and definitely not for those with a weak stomach. Plot could have used a little more to it butting wasn’t horribly under.
SO SICK! ONE OF THE BEST SUPERHERO 🤭HORROR🤭 MOVIES I HAVE EVER SEEN!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 DEFINITELY SEEING IT AGAIN!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤣
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
Definitely feels like a kick starter to a potentially great series.
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.
it was okay. majority of the movie was predictable.
Original idea, though nothing to do with canon Superman. Terrifying and entertaining. Heads up, very gory movie.
Dumb total wast of money
meh
It was okay. Leaves a lot to be desired.
Blah!
all the good scenes were in the previews. not really sure what the ending was aiming at .
#AmustSee
Way too much hype. Story was told extremely fast. Just wait for DVD
It was just ok. Its a watch once kind of movie. nothing to get that excited about. if they make a sequel I probably won't see it.
great movie!!!!
Metacritic
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.
