While the premise was interesting, the movie itself fell flat. We all know the story of Superman- the first half of this film revisits that same origin story, albeit in a much darker and foreboding tone. The second half picks up the pace and doles out several extremely gory scenes (which sometimes felt excessive). As a horror film, it isn't really scary. It fulfills its purpose, however. What if Superman decided that being a hero wasn't for him? Interestingly enough, our main character does not have an extremely harsh or sad upbringing. His family very closely resembles that of Clark Kent. Why, do we ask, does he turn evil? I thought it was some weird alien instinct that seemed to kick in + his rage towards certain people and events that fuel his evil. In the end, all we really know is that Brandon Breyer is very murderous. Lots of bloodshed and really no hope at the end of this film. Actually, the only things we're left with are some references to characters that resemble Aquaman and Wonder Woman (evil versions, of course) and hope for a sequel? This review is a mess, but this movie kind of was too.
