It’s not quite perfection: for me, its story stretches credibility in some places. But it still deserves to be a big hit. I think it will be. Read more

Brightburn is a fun horror movie with a super-anti-hero as the lead but it fails to utilise its potential with a psychopath who can fly anywhere and destroy anything. It is gory as all hell with fantastic performances. It’s good, it’s just not brilliant.

The resulting sequences run the gamut of quality, but they stem out of a comic book idea of horror violence. It is chintzy, bloody fun, in spite of all the shortcomings. Read more

As for the movie, I thought it was well done. The acting was good and I liked the story line in general. Read more

There are just too many half baked ideas and not enough substance to amount to anything memorable. Read more

The film doesn’t wind up being as clever a conceit as you might hope—again, Chronicle did it better. It’s not an entire waste of time, either. Read more

Brightburn is a creepy, bloody genre mashup that fails to fully explore the fascinating questions it raises about the dark side of being a superhero. Read more

While Brightburn‘s central premise is an interesting one, it lacks the ambition to approach its central question with any sense of nuance or intelligence. Read more

Brightburn is a movie about a 12-year-old sociopath, aimed at 12-year-old sociopaths, and it often feels like it was made by 12-year-old sociopaths. Read more

Though the plot sounds made for me, this film truly wasn’t. Read more

Deze superhelden parodie is doorspekt met SF en horror elementen gewoonweg subliem. Read more

Brightburn geeft een aangename draai aan een superhelden oorsprongsverhaal, maar verzuimt helaas wel om het onderste uit de kan te halen. Read more

Brightburn duurt gelukkig niet te lang en wordt zelfs zeer interessant voor superheldenfans in de laatste minuten...

Brightburn is op zijn best vermakelijk en dat is eigenlijk jammer want de cast heeft er zin in en de effecten zien er nog best leuk uit inclusief het gore gehalte. Read more

Jackson A. Dunn speelt de rol van de angstaanjagende tiener dan ook meer dan uitstekend hoewel het acteerwerk van de cast overwegend goed te noemen is. Maar zoals eerder geschreven moet Brightburn vooral kracht putten uit een aaneenschakeling van scènes vol met buitensporig geweld en een aantal goede schrikmomenten.

Als je verwacht dat Brightburn de comic book fatigue zal tegengaan, dan ben je aan het verkeerde adres. Het ontwaakt ondanks zijn goed bedachte ontknoping geen nieuwe genre. Read more
