We went and saw Brightburn, and it was as advertised, but even more gory than I expected. It's not a perfect film, there isn't a lot of character development past the perfunctory set up, and there are some plot threads are fully dropped without explanation, but overall it delivers a very good horror film riffing on the superhero genre. * Skip to Intro - 00:19* Skip to Trailer - 7:29* Skip to Synopsis - 10:17* Skip to Review - 11:45* Skip to Score - 17:21* Skip to Spoilers - 21:31* Skip to Final Recommendations - 1:07:15* Skip to Taglines - 1:09:43* Skip to Superhero or Super Villain Game - 1:15:36* Skip to It Came from Social Media - 1:23:47* Skip to Outro - 1:30:25 Brightburn Plot Synopsis The synopsis for Brightburn is very simple. It’s the superman origin story, but instead of him being good, he’s bad. The Breyers are a young couple in Sma... Brightburn, Kansas, that desperately want a baby, but can’t have one of their own. One night, a meteor crashes into the woods near their house. Inside is a little baby that they name Brandon and raise as their own. https://youtu.be/oD1vbhicJUY You can find Brightburn in theaters now.

Brandon soon discovers he is completely impervious to harm, has super strength, and can, get this… fly. Brandon does what every good middle american farm boy would do with these new found super powers… He kills and maims anyone that gets in his way towards world domination, including those closest to him. He's just a good ol' mid-western boy Brightburn Critique David is going to complain that this story has been done dozens of times with Superman in the comics. But if you like me aren’t a FUCKING NERD, then this is probably the first depiction of a truly evil superman origin story, at least on film. I think this film accomplished exactly what it
