 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here I know I've been away for a while but I'm going to stop uploading more consistently now this is gonna be the review for bright burn bright burn came out a few days ago I saw it a few days ago when it came out on Thursday night in theaters from James Gunn I believe we were all familiar with him he did the Guardians of the Galaxy movies everyone knows those how amazing those are how we're received and how big of a fan base has gotten since he brought it from the obscurity that it was from comic books to the big mainstream hit that it is now with the movies in this movie this basically is like an alternate take on Superman so instead of Clark Kent coming to earth and helping mankind Clark Kent comes to earth and he is against the mankind his name is a Clark Kent in here his name is Brandon Briers the movie stars Elizabeth Banks David Denman Jackson a done Matt Jones and Meredith Hagner basically in the movie we have a more essentially it's just an alien crash lands on earth and he this alien is Brandon Briers he grows up to learn that he has superpowers the other section of the movie revolves around the two parents who are portrayed by mr. Elizabeth Banks and David Denman the Briers they are trying to they're in the process of trying to have a child and it seems that they're having multiple fail multiple failed attempts at this so they when this thing when this event occurs and it crash lands like right outside their farm they take the child in after investigating the discovery what was inside it and they look upon it as a blessing from from God they take it in as its own they they officially adopted they hide the spacecraft that it came in they do everything they can just to make the child that came in this spaceship for not knowing about where he actually came from they tell him that he was adopted from an agency etc not gonna get too many sports outside of that the film as a whole for an alternate take on Superman and showing Superman as this supervillain I think this has a lot of potential to spark a great universe I thought I did like this movie but I just thought it was missing a lot so there was really no character development as far as like everyone outside of Brandon went and maybe that's that's not to say that that's a detractor maybe maybe that wasn't the point maybe the whole point of the movie was to just focus on Brandon there's there's just something I feel that it was missing I don't feel like it was enough the ending is kind of abrupt it's a good ending but it just feels like it feels like it could have gone on longer that's that's all I'm saying it's not a bad movie whatsoever just feels like they could have added in a few more things of some of the dialogue in it is a bit cheesy and comical Brandon Briers who are the character of Brandon Briers he's absolutely terrifying I think Jackson a done yet Jackson mr. done your performance is Brandon absolutely phenomenal especially for a child actor the actors in the movie I want to say the standout had to be Jackson done and Elizabeth Banks everyone else was kind of just subpar at best no bad acting no bad performances just subpar acting with two major standouts among the among the crowd think the direction was good the cinematography looked amazing the score accompanied the movie and some of the sequences where we finally see Brandon in action in the gore the gore fester we get later on the movie I thought that was amazing I just really think this has the potential to spark a good universe of films where we have alternate take on superheroes that are evil and instead of helping us they are against us cuz essentially you have to think about like this in the other films where Superman and Batman and all the other superpower upper higher beings that are helping humans they're on our side this is kind of what it would be like if they were against us as we can't beat them we're lucky to have them on our side so it's nice to have universe where we get to see what it could potentially be like if they were against us because they are essentially more ways to one higher gods there we're beneath them they have more powers than us they're able to do things that we can't do because we are human and they are not I'm looking forward to seeing if they do a sequel with this there's a lot of there's a lot there's a lot left on the table here with this bright burn I'm gonna go ahead and give that a gonna give it a 6.5 out of 10 really liked it thought it was well done for what it was James Gunn I hope you have more influence on the sequel I hope he is just full-on with this because he I know he only produced this one but I hope he has more of a say in the sequel if there is one if you guys have seen bright burn let me know what you thought about it down in the comment section below if you haven't already make sure you turn on post notifications I mean make sure you subscribe into our post notifications so you never miss a video in the description I'll have links on my social media accounts on my Facebook Twitter and Instagram you can mention me there to let me know movies news or reviews you'd like me to cover in the future with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video
