Agreed. It just kept getting worse. It looked like it was made by a film studies kid mimicking stuff he watched on cable. It was about the time that a character closed a padlock hasp INSIDE a walk in freezer where I actually started to collect my stuff to go. Shoulda.

If they changed it to “Date Waif” Walmart would’ve agreed to carry it.

did you actually watch the movie? It is a zero star movie. Every DC movie is better than Brightburn. 

There are movie moments, and then there are movie moments.

I know. I know. But I goddam love it.

Honestly, I don’t think I’ve disliked any of the DC movies as much as I disliked the experience of watching this one, even though it’s much less of a mess.

Ebert’s Law rears its head: No good movie is too long and no bad movie is too short. Running time is totally irrelevant; it’s the quality that matters. Complaining that a movie is too short to be worth the price of a ticket is literally a non sequitur.

“What if kid Superman was evil and he murdered everything in sight?”

“yeezy taught me” 

Who died? criskywalker.

I mean, surely she was at least flattered by Hinkley’s gesture?

The best thing about this comment is it’s as structurally lousy as it is thematically.

You know, a duel to the death WOULD be a pretty good way to impress them. It might work out for whoever survives.

I still don’t think Peter Cushing in Rogue One was that bad.

I think we know where this is going....

Abrams went on to explain that the scenes with Fisher are among his favorites in the film, saying “They’re so off-putting and weird that they momentarily distract people from what a hack I am.”

I just came here to gleefully read the comments as people trash JJ Abrams...

That is WAY more interesting! I know this is a horror movie so it’s not really what it’s going for, but that’s a much more thoughtful idea about how to riff on the Superman thing. 

I think one thing we’ve learned recently is that “Hey, that’s actually a clever idea” doesn’t automatically translate into a compelling movie.

“What does the S stand for?”
