invisible airwave Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Actor Matt Jones went to my high school and graduated a year after me. Never knew him, though. Small world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek19 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I have seen previews, and commercials, and heard of "Brightburn", but I haven't watched it to know if I think it's good, or bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I read that it's quite graphic on terms of gore, thus the R-rating. A bummer because I's like to see it with my son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babycat Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 For me, Stan & Ollie (2018). Steve Coogan and John C Reilly brought something to the movie, to Stan and Ollie themselves. The movie was funny, moving, and heartbreaking. I love the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I read that it's quite graphic on terms of gore, thus the R-rating. A bummer because I's like to see it with my son. In the trailer, one of the kid’s victims gets a big shard of glass in her eye. My first thought was, “GRATUITOUS”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How old's your son? Younger than a teen and maybe it'd be too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek19 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) I've watched "Brightburn". I think it isn't bad, and would say this on, and in a post. Goose (Allen), I don't know your son, and daughter, but I think, and wouldn't recommend either your son, daughter, and or the both of them to see it.

Not too different from that awesome kill from John Wick 3. Yeah, not for early teens. Not a movie I’d see in theaters but I’ll catch it on Starz since they’re the home of Sony movies. Plus, aforementioned, someone I went to high school with is in it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek19 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) I wouldn't, and didn't see it in theatres. For me, it's not any particular scene. Without giving anything away, it's the overall tone, and look of the movie. Edited June 20, 2019 by Derek19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 So, I saw it. There's a good 30-minute story there, with a great cast, but it's weighed down by gratuitous gore, endless jump-scare moments, and a strange combination of slow pacing and a lack of character development. A good idea poirly executed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I was looking forward to this. I don't mind a bit of gore and violence, since when is that unique to modern movies? And anyone who thinks this is surprising has obviously not paid attention to James Gunn (this movies producer) and his pre-MCU work (Slither (director), Dawn Of The Dead '04 (screenwriter)). This is also an early attempt by the director, and it seems to follow in the footsteps of hailed Hollywood hitmakers like Sam Raimi (Evil Dead/Spider-Man) and Peter Jackson (Bad Taste/The Lord Of The Rings). Sure, this wasn't a perfect movie, but it was a bit of fun and shows much promise. All this bullshit nonsense that "it's like every modern movie", seriously this movie is tame compared to most of the very controversial 70's and 80's horrors. Not every "superhero" movie has to be aimed at families, just as not every comic strip character is intended for kids (Deadpool, Spawn). Slate the movie, but don't act like it's a reflection of current times. This movie has its heart set on old school horror movies, and it's great fun.
