EXACTLY. That's how they PROMOTED the film. The kid FLYING and wearing a RED CAPE is on all the posters. So who the hell went into this movie and thought "oh shit, the kid's an alien?" Sometimes I think Chris needs to leave script writing to the professionals....
@@Dryblack1 But exactly HOW would they have marketed this differently? The whole premence of the movie is what happens when a superpowered alien lands on earth and had utter disdain for us?
@@unusualbydefault Impossible. The marketing of Blair Witch was based on the fact that there WAS a Blair Witch. Nobody went into that movie and thought "oh shit, she's a witch?". They knew that going in. That's why they wanted to see it. A creepy ass witch in the woods abducting people was the HOOK. But how do you sell Brightburn without giving people the hook? Which is that it's evil kid superman? Without the hook, it's just another movie about a disturbed kid, and we've seen that too many times already.
Chris, the twist isn’t that he is an alien. The twist is that the aliens that sent him to earth do not have good intentions. The marketing gives us the impression that Brandon turned bad due to external influence of the community but we find out that he was never good from the get go. Instead of being told to become a symbol of hope for humanity - the Brandon is told to take the earth While Superman is the equivalent to Jesus - Brandon is basically the Anti-Christ version Superman.
I don't think thats a twist, I actually think it was obvious from the trailers, posters, etc. Even more, the twist I expected was that he somewhat resisted or at least there was some kind of conflict. They show glimpses of a very interesting mythos, but they serve no porpuse because the movie turns into an average fun (almost comedic) slasher. The death of the uncle has a full on humor monologue from him that felt completely out of place. I think the main problem with this movie is its tone, its so inconsistent.
“I grew up watching families rip themselves apart a lot, so this movie really resonated with me” Are we still making those jokes? If not, I’m sorry, but I’m doin it anyway
It doesn’t need a lot of depth tho...it’s superman but evil, superman isn’t deep at all, it does what it’s supposed to do and pretty well done, the real depth on most of this should come if and when a franchise stems and we get an anti justice league (which seems to be the intent here)
after seeing Brightburn, my first problem with it is that the ship itself is really the crux of the entire movie. From what we see, up until his ship started talking to him, he was basically a pretty good kid. Obviously intelligent, a little shy, socially awkward, sure, but that doesn't really signify a problem with the boy. There was little to no arc after the ship's activation. No internal struggle. No real sense of resistance to what the ship was telling him to do based on his presumably happy childhood. No real development. He just turned bad. End of story. Brandon: "I grew up here, I seem okay, there's this cute girl in my class who actually seems to like me..." Ship: "Take the Earth". Brandon: "Um... okay." He even says "I want to do good, mom" at one point without ever doing anything to make us believe it. This entire film seems to me something of a wasted opportunity in that sense, which is my second problem with the movie. It would have been so much better to have seen him go down a road to tyranny and destruction step by little step, making wrong decisions and then justifying them to himself. Brandon, thanks to the ship, now believes himself (arguably rightly so) as "superior" to everyone else. Well, let him act as such. He could have done so by specifically killing his uncle for driving drunk, lording his uncle's "inferiority" over him for doing just that. He also argues something else (forget the exact line) about how sometimes some people might deserve it (paraphrasing it there). His descent into righteous brutality showed some signs of being set up but was then dropped in favor of more general mayhem "just because I can". I went into Brightburn with no expectations but came away from it feeling like my expectations weren't even met.
They literally tell you his motivation in the science class with the bees and wasps discussion. He species sends their young to other planets, to be raised on that planet and then eventually take it over/destroy it. IE they are brood parasites, and Brandon literally spells this out in class, by talking about a wasp that does this.
Words to describe this movie: A real EYE OPENER. JAW DROPPING/SPEECHLESS. MIND BLOWING. Some scenes will go RIGHT THROUGH YOU. It'll leave you WIDE OPEN. In the end, you'll FALL for the movie.
@@nheuk3 ya this movie is basically being talked about soley because of the superman connection and the almost shot for shot opening to the man of steel trailer. That is what sold the film knowing he is an alien with powers.
I think they went for the safe bet because, if you put his origin as a plot twist, audiencies probably won't like it because they might look a it as a deception.
Plus, not that big a twist. You know it's going to be sort of superhero origin; setting it up as Superman gone wrong from the start gets the premise directly laid out.
I kinda disagree, idk maybe that moment was it. I really liked this movie as someone whos read evil superman comics before I kinda wanted to see more of what made him evil. like if had not had a good family or something. I mean we saw superman get more picked up in man of steel than this kid.
There was like 4 songs in the disney picture of aladin that my brain actually recognized. The new one looks entirely like a musical, it's really off-putting.
@@dashnyamkhurelbaatar1318 What?? Well to me, it reminded me to the other million "evil supermen" that Ive seen so far (meaning: steelheart, supershock from powers, omniman from invicible, ultraman, etc...) And I have to say, most of them are a lot more developed and made in a much more interesting way than this movie :S:S
The Villian was pure evil. No redeeming the boy at all. This universe really needs a hero to counteract evil. Solid movie though gory. The one property Marvel or DC couldn't get their hands on.
I would argue, that the boy could have been saved by the mother. But she made the wrong choice in the end and burned the last bridge he had to being human. Well, there is that girl he liked, but thats never happening.
You’re right maximumrisk2004. Evil can’t be eliminated by killing it off. It’s a choice everyone has to decide to or to not do every day of their lives. The adopted mother was in an emotional state and tried to kill Brandon. All she need to do was to love on him and understand both him and his race of people. That’s what shifted the fate of Brandon and their entire world.
@@maximumrisk2004 when the mom tried to get rid of the kid it was after he was proven to be hurting and killing people. she had to try to stop him before he hurt more. she made the right decision.
@@ThisAintNickelodeon Yeah, but he was gettin at the fact that Chris said the director should have hid the ship scene from the audience.. When we already knew the story was of a hypothetical evil Superman.. Lol..
To be honest i hate it so much when Chris suggested that. Not everything has to be about twisting expectation these days. The whole subvert expectation trend is awful. You don't have to write a story solely for the sake of twisting expectation, just like there's a lot more about Star Wars than Vader being Luke's dad, George lucas didn't write the story solely to surprise everyone about who Luke's dad is.
Don’t tell him that. He’s been well behaved for a while now. Plus he has such a pure and hopeful origin, he could’ve been one of the best Supermen of all... he was a victim of horrible circumstances and jumping off the slippery slope... then bad decision after bad decision.
It didn't seem like Brandon became evil by choice. It was that signal his space pod started emanating that seemed to trigger or activate his superhuman powers and his violent tendencies. Like, if the parents decided to destroy the pod or store it in such a way that that signal was blocked, would Brandon ever have even discovered his abilities? Would any of this stuff ever even happened?
I finally saw this one! I was cringing in my seat when they cut to his middle school crush's bedroom moments after his dad was talking about giving into urges. I know it was in the trailer, but the sheriff's death still caught me off guard. I was definitely rooting for it because I liked Jame's Gunn's "Slither" and DC's Superman Character. I think this would have made a good Netflix single season miniseries. I would have preferred a story in which he more gradually discovers his powers, tries to do good but keep failing and hurting people and things by accident and then descends into evil. They could tackle the common physics issues alluded to by superman critics: such as catching someone at terminal velocity but breaking every bone in their body; using super speed to move someone out of way of oncoming traffic, but going through them instead; discovering his radiation gives his mom/a loved one cancer. I guess I'll have to wait for the Snyder cut on this one.
I loved this movie in every way. It messed with my head and was so creepy and creative. The acting was superb and there was the right amount of gore - nothing too gratuitous. A+ from me!
This movie kind of reminds me of that comic book I read call DC house of horrors and it reminds me of that short story of the demon superman issue in the comic
I think you becoming more active in making and producing your own films have really helped you in your reviews. I find it fascinating when you give us your insight to your experiences. :) Keep it up, Chris! 👍✨👏
@@noeytindol5529 That was him just expressing an opinion. He's critiquing it because he likes it. His suggestions aren't meant to say "the film did something wrong" but rather an insight into another direction on how the film could have potentially been done. This shows his engagement with the medium and his passion as a filmmaker and creator himself. His opinions were not coming from an intention of malice; he's inspired by the film, and he sees potential. That's all.
No I dont thi k its helping he is seeing a lot of ahit that isnt there none of the shot he mentions in this review is true, the movie does look cheap, the mom is an idiot and it's just not that good.
I think the point of the movie is the ship waking him up to what his real mission is on earth. So in a sense he did just suddenly turn evil, for me it was okay for him not to show any remorse. I would like to see a sequel though when we (earthlings) try to fight back and get him!
This is what Lex Luthor's saying about his dad's painting actually meant. --------------"Devils don’t come from hell beneath us. They come from the sky."
Aniki I was gonna say “one of” but then I remembered there’s basically only two contenders with hunterxhunter and jojo (at least from the shonen side of things) so yeah fair enough
He doesn’t need anyone to take care of himself. Plus, he could read books fast, and force professors from major universities to teach him all of the academic courses and topics to pursue his major in “world domination.”
Would be pretty hard pressed to find something like a young child crushing another young child's hand effortlessly and remorselessly in a PG13. Coupled with things like the dad trying to shoot him and Idk, definitely felt like a hard R rating with a lot of very mature moments and themes that wouldnt suit a PG13 audience
It was pretty good. About what I expected and, thankfully, slightly less gory than I thought it would be. I hope they do expand the "Brightburn" universe. It will be interesting to see if "The Batman" of the bright...dark...universe is able to discover, and execute, how to kill Brandon Breyer. By the way, The Mask "Brightburn" wears is also emblematic of the parasitic Wasp he references early in the movie.
@@BDLabs2 , people have the right to change their minds and I used to consider these Evil mutants to be sort of like a gang. My feelings were why should GOOD mutants suffer for the heinous crimes committed by EVIL mutants. If we were actually living in the X-Men universe, NOW my way of thinking would be even GOOD mutants can turn and become a THREAT to humans. ALL mutants should be DEPOWERED.
"Power Corrupts" Tell that to Superman or the countless X-Men that help humans even though they can kill them all without even trying. With your logic you should also fear every person with power on this planet, what if they go bad and press that nuclear launch button?
Spoiler alert Did you notice that at the end of the movie it shows Rain Wilson's character from the movie "Super"??? That movie was made by James Gunn, it's like a connected universe.
I could feel the "oh shit'' moment in the scene that you showed where the kid gets pushed around and bullied. I think it's just a bad idea to bully people. It never seems to turn out well.
I don't know if you watched the movie, but he wasn't getting bullied in the circle until after he fell. It was the dumbest forced team building by the PE teacher.
You hit the button on the missed opportunity of internal struggle with Brandon. He says he wants to do good but we never see it. That would have made him a much more compelling character. If the audience never knew whether he would turn out good or evil in the end, that would have been a much better climax. By showing little pockets of good in him throughout the movie, this would have kept us on edge, like "will he become evil? or won't he?" Instead, we see no internal struggle, just a robot, essentially, who is programmed to take over the world. I think the program plot point is fine, but if the movie had him fight against it, and have his mom just keep him back from it, the movie could have been absolutely fantastic. I still liked it, but so much potential wasted.
Yes, totally agree! He needed way more character development and plot. To me, this film was pretty cheesy, I mean, come on- the noises (communication) from the ship...it was like Bigfoot got a chicken bone stuck in his throat!
I'm under the impression that whatever technologically advanced civilization sent him here, they sent him for a specific function, it is safe to speculate that they would make sure his programming would not "deviate" however the surrounding stimulus (possibly a nice and loving family) would influence him or at least not enough to make him stray from his primary directive. For sure and agreed it would've made for a much more compelling character if a more "human" struggle was displayed, but that is exactly what the writers where not going for, they opted for the absolutely evil, completely psycho alien type.
When i watched this movie and saw the kid get the message from his pod, it reminded me of the beginning of dragon ball. Goku was a super alien dude sent to earth to conquer it, only he was dropped off a cliff and forgot all of that. I feel like the kid in brightburn wasnt pulling his motivation out of thin air as much as he was remembering a programmed mission, like a sleeper agent or something. Also i dont know if the kid playing Brandon is an amazing actor for a kid or if him being a kid means he sucks at showing emotions, but his performance was spot on imo. He gave me chills with some of his lines.
Chris, I think your critique about the spaceship crash in the beginning is right on. Here's my only concern with that writing/editing choice might not have had the impact we think it would because it's so close to the superman origin story.
It also brings up questions like the paperwork that had to be created, the people who had to be bought off to keep the lie; a string of 'unrelated' deaths if money or paperwork don't work to keep the lie alive
I like the idea of him always being bad and the ship unlocking that evil, i see it as him being a wepon from what ever planet he is from to take over Earth, maybe thats what his species does
I love how you explain things. You're very thorough and you clearly put a lot of thought into these reviews. If I ever make a movie I'd be honored for it to be reviewed by you.
Yes the acting performance by the parents and production sets were really good , but if they would made the kid motive a bit clear or included more kills and he try to create more chaos and a destruction it would have been much better It ended up being a enjoyable horror film
Your point about taking away the mystery by doing away with him crashing in the beggining is the same feeling i have when i watch predator. If they didnt show the alien ship in the beggining the movie becomes a thrill ride trying to find out wtf is in the woods. I now always skip to when arnold is getting off the chopper to make predator more enjoyable to rewatch.
ALF 452 I think that applies much better to Predator than to this as when Predator came out no one had a clue what it was about, so that mystery would have been a massive factor in making it feel more thrilling. With Brightburn the way it was marketed heavily relied on the Superman parallels, they even used similar music and font to Man of Steel in the trailer which was genius. So I can’t see how holding back that ‘mystery’ would have helped the film when most people would have just been expecting it. I haven’t seen it yet as it’s not out in the UK but after this review I’ll definitely check it out!
I disagree with Chris' analysis as well. The whole marketing and premise of the movie is "What if child Superman went bad?" Everybody knows he's an alien (if you know who Superman is), so this being some big "reveal" already established. I also don't like how Chris is over-analyzing the whole spec script and process of movie making vs. evaluating what is there. It's great he is trying to get his career off the ground, but he's doing exactly what I feared he would do and that is project, more or less. I like Chris, but other industry people are going to see his reviews and if he keeps projecting, this is going to make his own work more of a target because he critiques and speculate on others processes. He's going to have to make a choice -- Film critic or Film maker -- Some time down the line because you can't be both. Sorry for the tangent, but it's very relevant to this particular review as well, in my opinion.
I’m a huge predator fan (as I’m sure most of us are). I seem to remember hearing somewhere that the ship being added at the beginning was a last minute thing. I think test audiences were confused because the predator isn’t really your traditional looking alien. He looks more like some crabby swamp monster. Leave it to the test group to ruin a perfect twist like that, but the filmmakers felt like they really needed to spell it out for your average audience member.. I agree with you they could have spelled it out in a different way though.
I watched it in theaters with my friends. They thought the whole movie was dumb, but I enjoyed it! Although, I didn’t enjoy it the second time I saw it because I was looking at what they could’ve done better
I agree with these statements you told us. I also do feel it could have been a bit longer to develop Brandon and more things secretive like you said. It seems to hold back some moments that could be very interesting to see.
I loved the movie, and I agree that there are indeed some tiny details that could have made it even better. I'd disagree however on your suggestion that keeping the alien origin of the kid a secret would have been better. The script obviously draws on the Superman origin story and because of that it works better when they fully disclose it at the beginning. Otherwise the viewer would just wonder for 30 mins about this mystery and then be disappointed, because "Hey, they simply ripped off Superman's origin story." It simply isn't an original mystery that is worth saving and building up for a big reveal later in the story.
A way to think of 'Brightburn' is to imagine if Superman arrived on Earth as a baby and grew to be a teenager or pre-teen with virtual immortality and unlimited powers and abilities while he was completely heartless, amoral, and cruel like Damien from 'The Omen' movie franchise. He is essentially Superman The Anti-Christ as others have pointed out and I found this movie was well-crafted and very disturbing.

You’re right maximumrisk2004. Evil can’t be eliminated by killing it off. It’s a choice everyone has to decide to or to not do every day of their lives.

That’s what shifted the fate of Brandon and their entire world.
Not every story needs a hero, open your fictional world view.
@@maximumrisk2004 when the mom tried to get rid of the kid it was after he was proven to be hurting and killing people. she had to try to stop him before he hurt more. she made the right decision.

This gave me way too much detail
Lol. Noah's scene

When i saw the movie.......IT WAS SCARY AND GRAPHIC AF
Yeah, but the way it was shot was very DISJOINTED
There was no point hiding the fact he was an alien because the whole draw to the movie is he is an evil superman. Everyone knew
exactly
Agreed. In fact at times I wondered if it would have been better to deliberately track the movie more closely with a superman movie...
They didn’t hide it. They show the ship in the barn glowing within the first 10-15 mins.
@@ThisAintNickelodeon Yeah, but he was gettin at the fact that Chris said the director should have hid the ship scene from the audience.. When we already knew the story was of a hypothetical evil Superman.. Lol..
To be honest i hate it so much when Chris suggested that. Not everything has to be about twisting expectation these days. The whole subvert expectation trend is awful. You don't have to write a story solely for the sake of twisting expectation, just like there's a lot more about Star Wars than Vader being Luke's dad, George lucas didn't write the story solely to surprise everyone about who Luke's dad is.
David Denman has come a long way from his 'Roy from The Office' days. Very underrated

The symbol looks straight out of berserk
It's a rune.
exactly
It's just BB side by side
It's obvious that the writers are fans of Berserk. His symbol is "the brand" for sure.
More like the symbol on the comic nameless practically a copy of it
You liked it more than I did. It seemed more like an 85 minute teaser for a potential Brightburn 2.
Yeah
Sounds like the origin story of Superboy-Prime.
Except both are quite different from this one, which is basically lifted from OG Superman
Nah he didn't say "I'll kill you to death!"or"Everything was better on my Earth!"
Nope... Superboy Prime was pretty much good until COIE. This is much more like Ultraman
Or a story of a saiyan sent to earth to destroy.
Don’t tell him that. He’s been well behaved for a while now. Plus he has such a pure and hopeful origin, he could’ve been one of the best Supermen of all... he was a victim of horrible circumstances and jumping off the slippery slope... then bad decision after bad decision.

goku didnt bump his head, he was sent from loving parents who loved him and had nothing to do being sent to earth to destroy it....yuck
More Gunns than an NRA meeting
It didn't seem like Brandon became evil by choice. It was that signal his space pod started emanating that seemed to trigger or activate his superhuman powers and his violent tendencies.
Like, if the parents decided to destroy the pod or store it in such a way that that signal was blocked, would Brandon ever have even discovered his abilities? Would any of this stuff ever even happened?
Great Question 🤷🤔?
How many Gunns are there, like holy Mary Poppins

He is right its like superman got insane
Kia Roane sounds like something Superboy Prime would say
I finally saw this one! I was cringing in my seat when they cut to his middle school crush's bedroom moments after his dad was talking about giving into urges. I know it was in the trailer, but the sheriff's death still caught me off guard.
I was definitely rooting for it because I liked Jame's Gunn's "Slither" and DC's Superman Character. I think this would have made a good Netflix single season miniseries. I would have preferred a story in which he more gradually discovers his powers, tries to do good but keep failing and hurting people and things by accident and then descends into evil. They could tackle the common physics issues alluded to by superman critics: such as catching someone at terminal velocity but breaking every bone in their body; using super speed to move someone out of way of oncoming traffic, but going through them instead; discovering his radiation gives his mom/a loved one cancer.
I guess I'll have to wait for the Snyder cut on this one.
Pppo
I loved this movie in every way. It messed with my head and was so creepy and creative. The acting was superb and there was the right amount of gore - nothing too gratuitous. A+ from me!
Thanks feel the same way
It was pretty good!
holy crap ! yer not kidding!
Was so shit
I felt it could’ve been so much more . I give it a d+
Now we just need a James Gunn batman knock-off movie.
Let's make it happen people!
@Deathcheat 666 i'll check it out
That would actually be amazing
Who? Owlman?
What about a evil Spiderman.
Deathcheat 666 YES!
I was thinking that exactly
I think Netflix owns the rights
This movie kind of reminds me of that comic book I read call DC house of horrors and it reminds me of that short story of the demon superman issue in the comic
I loved in the end they had the JL all as dark versions of themselves. That was an awesome bit~
So basically a Saiyan in a Kryptonian body
@Genius Idiot Where did u get that from because I did not know that
@Genius Idiot Thanks for sharing this information
Genius Idiot that wouldn’t necessarily make them as evil as Brandon or saiyans

Keep it up, Chris! 👍✨👏
I don't think so. I think he should review the film and now talk about how he'd change it.
@@noeytindol5529 That was him just expressing an opinion. He's critiquing it because he likes it. His suggestions aren't meant to say "the film did something wrong" but rather an insight into another direction on how the film could have potentially been done. This shows his engagement with the medium and his passion as a filmmaker and creator himself. His opinions were not coming from an intention of malice; he's inspired by the film, and he sees potential. That's all.
No I dont thi k its helping he is seeing a lot of ahit that isnt there none of the shot he mentions in this review is true, the movie does look cheap, the mom is an idiot and it's just not that good.

Ay ay, it’s his opinion.
Bet you didn't know it's in the same Universe as the Movie Super.
Just kidding you probably knew
Joji Vlogs tease. That would be awesome to see Crimson Bolt fight Brightburn.
I had no idea.
Damn I loved that movie.
As in the movie super 8?
Darkness the dark comedy superhero film “Super”
Super 8 makes more sense for a shared universe
It's nice to see Roy doing well...ohh actually nevermind then.
Poor guy just cant catch a break
At least he got with Elizabeth Banks!
With James, Brian, and Mark all working together on this movie, it's essentially a Gunn show.
Which we need to buy tickets to
I think the point of the movie is the ship waking him up to what his real mission is on earth. So in a sense he did just suddenly turn evil, for me it was okay for him not to show any remorse. I would like to see a sequel though when we (earthlings) try to fight back and get him!
This is what Lex Luthor's saying about his dad's painting actually meant.

HUGE heads up. This movie was way more gory than I expected lmao.
When Brandon started to beat that policewoman 😱
Meh there's like 3 moments in the whole movie. Not that gory compared to most movies.
Extremely gory. I was genuinely shocked (in a good way)
you don't watch horrors too often do you. it was not very gory, pretty meh actually. also the weak jumpscares. bleh.
Ive heard this tf happens thats so gory in the movie pls spoil
If the Gunn brothers decide to do a crossover film with Super (which was teased at the very end), I’d be there opening night!
I think they should, have an evil justice league. Then have them fight a good suicide squad, a good joker, a good lex luthor, good penguin, etc.
@Bryce that sounds like a terrible idea
I’d love a sequel where he goes into foster care cause he needs a place to live and everyone slowly figured out who he is
He doesn’t need anyone to take care of himself. Plus, he could read books fast, and force professors from major universities to teach him all of the academic courses and topics to pursue his major in “world domination.”
Im glad to see a positive review, the script idea is badass! But the trailer didnt impress me too much
joseph samano yea I think we’re just spoiled by stuffed trailers lately
the trailers are the entire movie so thats not a good sign for you.

@@kylixion_6359 THE HORROR
Seems like there was 2 scenes that clearly showed it was rated R....broken glass and pickup truck
Would be pretty hard pressed to find something like a young child crushing another young child's hand effortlessly and remorselessly in a PG13. Coupled with things like the dad trying to shoot him and Idk, definitely felt like a hard R rating with a lot of very mature moments and themes that wouldnt suit a PG13 audience
How R was it? Well here in the UK, it only got rated 15 after cuts were made
Jackal Prints Lmaoo I was about to say the same thing. Fucked up scene.
@@AMediumSizedKodiak Lmao in our house the R, PG13, PG, and G audience were the same people
@Razh 80 yeah, that was some homelander shit!
It was pretty good. About what I expected and, thankfully, slightly less gory than I thought it would be. I hope they do expand the "Brightburn" universe. It will be interesting to see if "The Batman" of the bright...dark...universe is able to discover, and execute, how to kill Brandon Breyer. By the way, The Mask "Brightburn" wears is also emblematic of the parasitic Wasp he references early in the movie.
That's interesting because it's way, WAY more Gorey than I thought it would be. I honestly can't recall a movie this Gorey in a while.
So Rita Repulsa and the Red ranger’s dad got together? 😯
Let it sink in.....
Lol
Brandon M sink that let in
Arnold Schwarzt I know right. Krispy Kreme always helps 😂

Can't wait until we have an sequel to this!
"Power Corrupts". After watching this movie now I understand why the humans in the X-Men universe had an aversion/phobia towards the Mutants.
You didn’t understand that when there were literal powerful evil mutants running around in the Marvel universes?
@@BDLabs2 , people have the right to change their minds and I used to consider these Evil mutants to be sort of like a gang. My feelings were why should GOOD mutants suffer for the heinous crimes committed by EVIL mutants. If we were actually living in the X-Men universe, NOW my way of thinking would be even GOOD mutants can turn and become a THREAT to humans. ALL mutants should be DEPOWERED.
@@monsieuraout Power doesn't corrupt. It just reveals the corruption that's already there
"Power Corrupts" Tell that to Superman or the countless X-Men that help humans even though they can kill them all without even trying. With your logic you should also fear every person with power on this planet, what if they go bad and press that nuclear launch button?
@@1997lordofdoom superman is a fairy tall, anybody with that kind of power would have turned like bradon bryer(brightburn), pure evil!
Spoiler alert
Did you notice that at the end of the movie it shows Rain Wilson's character from the movie "Super"??? That movie was made by James Gunn, it's like a connected universe.
Don't read too much into it, it's just an easter egg, like the "connection" between Watch dogs and Assassin's creed IV

I've been waiting for this review. This was such an interesting premise for a movie.
Same
seriously agree, I will see it for sure.
What if Superman was evil? Is the concept, that has been an idea for more than 40 years😂😂😂😂💯
I saw this movie last night and really enjoyed it. Great review
I could feel the "oh shit'' moment in the scene that you showed where the kid gets pushed around and bullied.
I think it's just a bad idea to bully people. It never seems to turn out well.
I don't know if you watched the movie, but he wasn't getting bullied in the circle until after he fell. It was the dumbest forced team building by the PE teacher.
You hit the button on the missed opportunity of internal struggle with Brandon. He says he wants to do good but we never see it. That would have made him a much more compelling character. If the audience never knew whether he would turn out good or evil in the end, that would have been a much better climax.
By showing little pockets of good in him throughout the movie, this would have kept us on edge, like "will he become evil? or won't he?" Instead, we see no internal struggle, just a robot, essentially, who is programmed to take over the world.
I think the program plot point is fine, but if the movie had him fight against it, and have his mom just keep him back from it, the movie could have been absolutely fantastic. I still liked it, but so much potential wasted.
Yes, totally agree! He needed way more character development and plot. To me, this film was pretty cheesy, I mean, come on- the noises (communication) from the ship...it was like Bigfoot got a chicken bone stuck in his throat!
He didn’t need it
He was just bad peroid
I'm under the impression that whatever technologically advanced civilization sent him here, they sent him for a specific function, it is safe to speculate that they would make sure his programming would not "deviate" however the surrounding stimulus (possibly a nice and loving family) would influence him or at least not enough to make him stray from his primary directive.
For sure and agreed it would've made for a much more compelling character if a more "human" struggle was displayed, but that is exactly what the writers where not going for, they opted for the absolutely evil, completely psycho alien type.
Before Chris's video:
Brightburn? Hmmmm... Idk? Looks like a comic horror wanna be movie.

Digging the Goblin King shirt! David Bowie and Labyrinth...😍😍😍😍
yeah...good times!
When i watched this movie and saw the kid get the message from his pod, it reminded me of the beginning of dragon ball. Goku was a super alien dude sent to earth to conquer it, only he was dropped off a cliff and forgot all of that. I feel like the kid in brightburn wasnt pulling his motivation out of thin air as much as he was remembering a programmed mission, like a sleeper agent or something.
Also i dont know if the kid playing Brandon is an amazing actor for a kid or if him being a kid means he sucks at showing emotions, but his performance was spot on imo. He gave me chills with some of his lines.
Just saw this movie...Someone is Lying. This movie is unreal! A must see
Lavar Amare I loved this movie.
I have one budgeting tip for you Chris don't buy any more action figures
Lol!
They have resale value so....
I really love your filmmaking perspective. I have a new appreciation for directors b/c of this show.
Yeah. Even though is motivation was nil, by god he was still terrifying
I genuinely think your reviews are getting better and more critical
Chris,
I think your critique about the spaceship crash in the beginning is right on. Here's my only concern with that writing/editing choice might not have had the impact we think it would because it's so close to the superman origin story.
It also brings up questions like the paperwork that had to be created, the people who had to be bought off to keep the lie; a string of 'unrelated' deaths if money or paperwork don't work to keep the lie alive
Next... evil Batman
Vampire Batman.
Or maybe a different animal theme, like a wolf or something
@@RuffWarl0ck vatman?
BattyMan?
Nemesis what?
a film? a comic? a book?
The google audience rating for this movie was pure injustice (only a 3.2), it deserved atleast a 4.2 rating... Such a good movie!
He was a nice kid until his ship spoke to him while he was sleeping. Then he woke up evil. That was weird.
I like the idea of him always being bad and the ship unlocking that evil, i see it as him being a wepon from what ever planet he is from to take over Earth, maybe thats what his species does
Oliver Mendonca maybe
I guess I’m the only parent that believes that all kids can and WILL do wrong.🤷🏻♀️
Thus why a parent's job is to TEACH them!!

I love how you explain things. You're very thorough and you clearly put a lot of thought into these reviews. If I ever make a movie I'd be honored for it to be reviewed by you.
Of course we all know their will be a sequel, I mean this post credit scene is too magnifique 👌🏻💯
@Er boro bru what's super gonna do hit him with a ranch
Yes the acting performance by the parents and production sets were really good , but if they would made the kid motive a bit clear or included more kills and he try to create more chaos and a destruction it would have been much better
It ended up being a enjoyable horror film
I thought this was done by Sam Raimi at first not Gunn. Would have been nice to see him come back to horror and comic book films at the same time!
He's coming out with some weird alligator movie lol
@@samuelbennion4282 What happend to WWWIII? I thought that was his next project?
@@adamw116 I'm not sure, maybe he's doing both. That alligator trailer showed before brightburn so it's coming out soon
Your point about taking away the mystery by doing away with him crashing in the beggining is the same feeling i have when i watch predator. If they didnt show the alien ship in the beggining the movie becomes a thrill ride trying to find out wtf is in the woods. I now always skip to when arnold is getting off the chopper to make predator more enjoyable to rewatch.
could they realy have held that back in a film being sold on what if superman was bad?
ALF 452 I think that applies much better to Predator than to this as when Predator came out no one had a clue what it was about, so that mystery would have been a massive factor in making it feel more thrilling. With Brightburn the way it was marketed heavily relied on the Superman parallels, they even used similar music and font to Man of Steel in the trailer which was genius. So I can’t see how holding back that ‘mystery’ would have helped the film when most people would have just been expecting it. I haven’t seen it yet as it’s not out in the UK but after this review I’ll definitely check it out!
ALF 452 I get that but come in it’s no secret. We all know Superman’s origin story
I disagree with Chris' analysis as well. The whole marketing and premise of the movie is "What if child Superman went bad?" Everybody knows he's an alien (if you know who Superman is), so this being some big "reveal" already established. I also don't like how Chris is over-analyzing the whole spec script and process of movie making vs. evaluating what is there. It's great he is trying to get his career off the ground, but he's doing exactly what I feared he would do and that is project, more or less. I like Chris, but other industry people are going to see his reviews and if he keeps projecting, this is going to make his own work more of a target because he critiques and speculate on others processes. He's going to have to make a choice -- Film critic or Film maker -- Some time down the line because you can't be both. Sorry for the tangent, but it's very relevant to this particular review as well, in my opinion.
I’m a huge predator fan (as I’m sure most of us are). I seem to remember hearing somewhere that the ship being added at the beginning was a last minute thing. I think test audiences were confused because the predator isn’t really your traditional looking alien. He looks more like some crabby swamp monster. Leave it to the test group to ruin a perfect twist like that, but the filmmakers felt like they really needed to spell it out for your average audience member.. I agree with you they could have spelled it out in a different way though.
I watched it in theaters with my friends. They thought the whole movie was dumb, but I enjoyed it! Although, I didn’t enjoy it the second time I saw it because I was looking at what they could’ve done better
I agree with these statements you told us. I also do feel it could have been a bit longer to develop Brandon and more things secretive like you said.
It seems to hold back some moments that could be very interesting to see.

Roy finally found someone after Pam :'')
I loved the movie, and I agree that there are indeed some tiny details that could have made it even better. I'd disagree however on your suggestion that keeping the alien origin of the kid a secret would have been better. The script obviously draws on the Superman origin story and because of that it works better when they fully disclose it at the beginning. Otherwise the viewer would just wonder for 30 mins about this mystery and then be disappointed, because "Hey, they simply ripped off Superman's origin story." It simply isn't an original mystery that is worth saving and building up for a big reveal later in the story.

A way to think of 'Brightburn' is to imagine if Superman arrived on Earth as a baby and grew to be a teenager or pre-teen with virtual immortality and unlimited powers and abilities while he was completely heartless, amoral, and cruel like Damien from 'The Omen' movie franchise.
He is essentially Superman The Anti-Christ as others have pointed out and I found this movie was well-crafted and very disturbing.
