RE: Brightburn (film): They tried, but it's just not very good **MILD SPOILERS**
I think if this movie would have either been a mini series or had at least another hour of runtime it would have been much, much better. The main problem I had with this film is the kid just becomes evil basically instantly, which seems ridiculous. His MO doesn't really make much sense with some of the shit he pulls, and I just found some of it to be laughable.
Honestly, after watching Homelander in The Boys, the rewatchability of this film has dropped massively. Definitely not the biggest prolapsed anus of a film I've seen or anything, but it dropped the ball right onto a meth addicts skin bugs.
you summed it up perfectly. You don't go from shy, reserved, parent-fearing, respectful nerd-boy to evil-destructo-kill-your-parents-because-they-looked-at-you-funny murderer boy in 3 and half minutes.
Maybe it was the chat that his dad gave him in the woods about how it is perfectly normal to want to bang chicks. That would have sent me over the edge but just due to the cringe.
