...big, silly, juvenile action-adventure. It retains the distinction of being the only Man of Steel-related movie to lose money...

Supergirl is a turkey of such epic proportions.

| Aug 2, 2022

If Superman was an eagle streaking across the sky, Supergirl is the result of that eagle’s bowel movement.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 26, 2022

No cut of this can redeem the considerable faults in storytelling, the unmanageable script choices, and the striking lack of entertainment value.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Jun 28, 2021

While 1978's Superman remains the best superhero movie ever made, this desultory spinoff wouldn't even crack the genre's top 50 (or 60, or 70...).

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 7, 2021

Supergirl could have been a contender. Instead, it felt like it was only made to make money rather than say something important or tell a compelling story.

| Original Score: 5.5/10 | Dec 22, 2020

A complete disaster in terms of production. [Full Review in Spanish]

Szwarc means to create drama, effectively absorbing us in the adventures of a superhero flying in on the winds of the second wave of feminism. But his work lacks any playfulness or self-conscious humor.

Movies like "Supergirl" succeed when they have fun with their material, rather than making fun of it.

| Jan 4, 2018

Even with more than thirty years of subsequent comic book movies, plenty of them just so terrible, this one still stands out for being particularly awful.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 30, 2017

With catastrophe rotting its marrow, "Supergirl" exemplifies the wisdom in waiting to ensure a great female superhero movie. Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel will kick down very big doors. "Supergirl" knocks itself out by heedlessly running into one.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 1, 2015

A festering dump of bad ideas, corny lines and Hollywood excess.

| Original Score: D | Nov 24, 2014

Female superhero can't save this '80s clunker.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2011

Jeannot Szwarc's direction is flat and uninspired, emphasizing the jokey elements without any sense at all for the material.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 17, 2007

Screenplay is filled with witty lines and enjoyable characters, but Jeannot Szwarc's direction is rather flat.

| Apr 17, 2007

This is one comic-book feature that doesn't fly.

| Apr 17, 2007

The plain fact is that director Jeannot Szwarc turns in a movie so ludicrous and overblown that it skips right over any semblance of logic and into a self-absorbed flight of fancy.

| Jan 26, 2007

Boils down to a sexist catfight between two fairly powerful women for the affections of a fashionably unshaven landscaper.

| Original Score: C- | Jan 1, 2007

The tagline -- "Her first great adventure." -- is wrong in at least three ways.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 10, 2006

So silly it can't even be lumped in the 'so bad it's good' category.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 1, 2006
