What if a child from another world crash-landed on Earth, but instead of becoming a hero to mankind, he proved to be something far more sinister?
This effort at a fresh take on superhero movies falters just after its installation, never really researching its possibly interesting theme. On the contrary, it only becomes a gory Omen knockoff with superpowers. Developed by James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy and also GOTG Vol. 2) and composed by his own cousin Mark Gunn and brother Brian Gunn, Brightburn does start with a terrific idea. What if, say, Superman’s adoptive parents in Smallville failed to instill in him a feeling of wrong and right, of generosity and kindness, of empathy? The solution is that he could easily have become a small monster, simply destroying everything. And that’s about it.
The curious thing is that the parents, played by Banks and Denman, don’t seem to be dreadful people, and they more or less earn our sympathy — for a time, anyway. As for Brandon, after he takes his first lifetime, he becomes impossible to root for. Really, it is unclear exactly what we are supposed to root for. Brightburn immediately becomes a basic slasher movie, but without the simplicity of one, it is a catastrophe demoted into a gorefest. Brightburn instead remains on the surface, content to enhance blood and guts over ideas and characters.
