Brightburn

Take the world. The evil Superman storyline is a fantastic idea, but it's a relatively oversaturated concept nowadays. Homelander, Omiman, and Tighten manage to stick out because they genuinely do something incredibly unique with their character and the story its a part of. Brightburn promised a DC What If? where Clark is aware of his powers and evil before he's even a teen, and if they ran with that and the horror genre, it could've been great. Yet with such a fantastic idea (as well as James Gunn as a producer), it felt pretty forgettable by the end. Elizabeth Banks felt like the only person genuinely interested in what was going on, David Denman seemed constantly bored out of his mind, and Jackson Dunn came off as a bland "protagonist", and as a whole, I couldn't find myself interested in this story, no matter how much I tried. An evil Superman horror movie should be good, but Brightburn still fell short of it. While some of the thrills do work, especially as the movie approaches the end, it feels like a huge missed opportunity.

A idéia do Super-Homem malvado que já foi usado e gasto a exaustão, acho digno ele ser um filme sobre criança amaldiçoada, mas ao invés de uma lógica de sobrenatural, ele é sobre um alien que tem uma missão de colonização e mata quem tiver no caminho dele. Infelizmente a parte sobre a maternidade é a mais fraca, seja porque a mãe é uma personagem mega tapada quanto o fato de que o vilão deixa pistas óbvias por todo o cenário, mas o papel básico de ligar A+B não é usado, existe um mini Plot sobre investigação, mas é tão ruinzinho que você nem considera, o maior feito dele é não ser um filme covarde e realmente se utilizar de uma violência gráfica que dá um diferencial pra ele! É um filme interessante mais pela premissa do que a forma em si!

The mask was awesome, childish, and creepy. The violence was pretty cool. The story was very basic and some of the possible interpretations were disgustingly xenophobic.

"I want to be good" - both the kid to his mom Elizabeth Banks, and the film itself to the audience. Alas, it's all doomed regardless

Me encanta la facilidad con la que la gente en esta película asume que el nene es un psicópata y hay que matarlo. O sea, tienen razón pero es gracioso

Brightburn turns the Superman lore on its head, offering a more sinister alternate super villain alter ego. While the concept is interesting, a vast majority of the characters aren’t interesting enough to keep the film entertaining. This clocks in at 96 minutes, but feels like an eternity longer. Elizabeth Banks is a good actress, but feels out of place here, with her having to take a majority of the acting load, which ended up being too much of a feat in the end. While the film may be shocking and surprisingly gory, Brightburnonly partially worked for me, and would have been more effective as a shorter film, rather than a feature length film.
