Brightburn Reviews Are In, Heres What The Critics Think

The last several years have been good to superhero movies and horror movies, as those genres have delivered many cinematic offerings that have been met with critical and/or commercial success. This weekend, the two genres are being merged together for Brightburn, the twisted, R-rated story during by David Yarovesky and produced by James Gunn that shows what would happen if a Superman-like figure became a force for evil, using superpowers like super strength, flight and heat vision to wreak havoc on humanity.

With Brightburn only days away from release, reviews for the movie have started coming in, and it looks like its fallen into mixed territory, with some appreciating the story and others being underwhelmed by it. CinemaBlends own Eric Eisenberg gave Brightburn 4 out of 5 stars in his review, saying that its not filled with big, complex contemplations, but nonetheless succeeds in delivering a number of fantastic shudder/scream-inducing sequences and boasting a great cast.

Brightburn is ultimately a fine example of high-concept storytelling: taking an easily digestible idea, and exploring it to its full potential in compelling and entertaining fashion.

io9s Germain Lussier wasnt as kind towards Brightburn, writing in his review that although he would have watched a sequel right after Brightburn concluded, overall its a poorly told story. While Brightburn works within the horror genre structure in how it shows the young Brandon Beyer giving in to his dark impulses and some of the later payoffs and reveals are satisfying, the movie as a whole suffered from poor execution, which Lussier speculates might have been fixed had James Gunn directed.

Alas, Brightburn is a competent movie crafted out of incredible ideas. Its gross, interesting, scary, and has fascinating mythology, all of which would be so much better if nearly all of it wasnt delivered in such an obtuse way. Still, this is a story worth telling with characters wed love to see again. Maybe next time, though, with a bit more care taken as to how the story is presented.

Back on the more positive end of the spectrum, Witney Seibold from IGN awarded Brightburn a 7.1 out of 10 score. Seibold noted that many of us have similarly deconstructed Superman, which might make the movie feel weirdly familiar, and that rather than providing dark commentary on how power corrupts, Brightburn plays out like a standard slasher, making for a perfectly entertaining experience.

A wickedly fun little horror flick with enough gore and superhero lore to keep fans of both satisfied.

Conversely, The Wraps Robert Abele was disappointed by Brightburn, saying that its idea of showing an evil Superman isnt enough to sustain an entire movie and will not please either horror aficionados or even a caped-crusader fandom hungry for variations on the theme. The main character is unremarkable and there's little weight to the actions his parents take when trying to stop his rampage.

But while we can perhaps be grateful that the superficiality of Brightburn probably kept it from opting to exploit elements of disturbed-kid narratives that have been all too common in our more tragic news stories, what remains is still never terribly entertaining as either popcorn or a bent take on superhero myths.

Chris Evangelista from Slashfilm was more receptive towards Brightburn, stamping a 7.5 out of 10 score on it and calling it a bleak, brutal subversion of the Superman mythos that works. As mentioned earlier, this isnt a story where redemption is on the table, and Evangelista notes that there a nihilistic streak that reminded him of the Rob Zombie Halloween remake. While Elizabeth Banks part is disappointingly underwritten, its David Yaroveskys direction that keeps Brightburn flying high.

Nasty is indeed the name of the game here Brightburn is cold and unflinching, fully committed to unsettling its audience. Its the type of movie that will make you thank your lucky stars that superheroes dont really exist.

The AV Clubs Jesse Hassenger was among those underwhelmed by Brightburn, giving it a C- grade. In Hassengers opinion, the movie doesnt have a modicum of wit or insight on its human side, resulting in Brandons parents being terribly predictable, and Brandon himself fails to be interesting. Ultimately, Hassenger saw Brightburn primarily as a dunk on Zack Snyders depiction of Superman in the DC Extended Universe.

For such a specific, clever-on-paper idea, Brightburn follows a shockingly predictable turn of events, possibly because it has few reference points beyond other pop-culture stories.

Finally, William Bibbiani from Bloody Disgusting bestowed Brightburn a 3.5 out of 5 score, calling it a exceedingly clever genre mash-up, albeit a gross one, both literally and figuratively. The movie also doesnt feel quite genuine, and its Brandons parents that infuse a sense of humanity in the proceedings, but Bibbiani concludes that after watching Brightburn, youll be left wanting more, signifying franchise potential.

The film is, in the end, mostly just an ambitious slasher movie about a monster modeled loosely on Superman, and on that level its certainly a success. David Yarovesky makes an impressive impression with a film that walks a fine line between wry pop culture commentary and genuine terror, the cast is great and perhaps most important of all it leaves you wanting more. Much more. Sequels and sequels after sequels.

These are just some of the reviews out for Brightburn, so feel free to venture into other corners of the internet find out what other critics are saying. Overall, it sounds like Brightburn wont be everybodys cup of tea, but there are at least a scattering of moments for comic book and/or horror fans to enjoy.

Brightburns main cast includes Jackson A. Dunn, Elizabeth Banks, David Denman, Matt Jones, Meredith Hagner, Steve Agee and Becky Wahlstrom. The movie is already playing in various territories worldwide, but itll have some competition this weekend in the form of Disneys live action Aladdin remake and the Olivia Wilde-directed Booksmart.

You can judge Brightburn for yourself starting this Friday, May 24, and stay tuned to CinemaBlend for more coverage on the movie. In the meantime, you can plan your visits to the theater for the rest of the year accordingly by checking out our 2019 release schedule.
