Brightburn [Includes Digital Copy] [Blu-ray/DVD] [2019]

I watched this film the evening I purchased it. It is directed by the same director that did the 1st Guardians of the Galaxy film. But this film is on a completely different level. Definitely not for the squeamish. I was on the edge of my seat through out the entire movie. Without giving anything away, I hope they do a sequel for this film. It was that good! I gave it 5 stars...

I had high expectations and was not disappointed. It is one of those movies that you like even better when you think about it after. Crisp and clean blu ray with cool extra features. The after the credits could set up a whole universe. Bought a ton of movies for Black Friday.

Wow!! I’m I need more I can’t wait to see what they going to do next!

If you're tired of all these movies acting like all comic books are nothing but superheroes that do nothing but good and never harm a fly, yet when you're a serious comic book reader you realize it's a lot more mature and dark finally a movie that takes you more seriously, if you enjoyed watchmen if you enjoyed the darker takes on comic books, this is a great movie for you. Don't get me wrong some movies are pretty good too, take what they did with old man Logan a messy comic book, that movie (Logan) was great but rather than I do not own any of the other Marvel movies because they're just not for me, I stopped being a kid long time ago I started reading comic books when I was a kid and even then they were darker than a lot of these movies now a days that are, they're fun and entertaining for the masses, but just a bit to kidish for me, DC Usually has a more mature taken these things but lately they've been feeding the masses instead of the comic book readers hopefully they fix that, Some of these new movies like the Joker seem to have a more mature taken in the story telling, which I like, just like this movie, it's not for kids that's for sure, It's not perfect but it's a good fun watch especially if you want a more dark taken to story telling, Pay attention to the end credits hopefully they carry on I'm making more movies like this.

Brightburn feels like an incomplete movie. There is essentially no third act, at least not within a more traditionally structured story. The film introduces the character and sees him grow into his powers while cutting ties with everything that once loved and could love him, but it leaves it at that. There's no challenge, no conflict, no opposition on his plane. Perhaps the opposition is emotion, but there's also no pull between right and wrong, and the family ties are not strong enough to even tempt Brandon to step away from mayhem. The picture is passably entertaining, at least, and it's technically sound, but it needs more. Sony's UHD offers little video upgrading over the Blu-ray -- slightly improved color and contrast are really about it -- but the Dolby Atmos soundtrack is a clear step up from the Blu-ray's 5.1 lossless track. Recommended.

Truly terrifying, this horror thriller is imaginative and gruesomely clever and original in its storytelling. Not that any of us is going to necessarily find an abandoned baby in in a basket in our backyard at night, but should it happen, it's possibly best to bring to bring the baby to the authorities. Although the parents in this film were unable to conceive a child of their own....their bad luck was to find an alien infant who grows up to be a child monster of deadly proportions. Factual it's not, but truly terrifying as cinema entertainment. BRIGHTBURN is not horror cinema one can easily forget. Watch it with a loved one or friend. It's pretty scary!

After the deluge of superhero movies, they all start to look the same. What's nice about Brightburn is that it's unique in that the superhero is actually a villain. While the young boy who crash lands on Earth starts out normal, he takes a dark turn once he realizes he has superpowers. The change was interesting to watch and his reign of terror was difficult to watch at times because of the horror movie like gore sprinkled throughout the movie. It certainly made for a memorable flick even though some people who might usually like superhero movies might find the scenes of violence to be too disturbing.

This movie is just phenomenal!!! It’s just really good! Yeah it’s got it’s flaws but it’s so entertaining. It’s pretty much a dark side story of Superman, I really appreciated leaving the character thinking he’s still a kid instead of thinking himself as a living god like his drawings mean in the movie. It’s dark, it’s GORY, but it does lack emotion between the kid and his parents. Very well crafted dark superhero movie. Definitely a must watch! Don’t expect lots of action right away, remember this is an origins movie
