NOT another streaming Movie - Supergirl

Oh dear, Supergirl is heading into becoming one of the years biggest box office bombs. Following six seasons on The CW, Supergirl now heads to the big screen. With Aussie Milly Alcock as the title role, alongside Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, David Corenswet, and Jason Momoa. But isn't Momoa Aquaman?

DC Comics, are doing their best with superheroine Kara Zor-El / Supergirl. Sadly, trying to turn her from the goody two shoes Melissa Benoist portrayed from 2015-2021 to a 365 party girl, really didn't work.

The sloppy use of music across the film, and clanky action sequences, left this in the B grade superhero category. Sadly as well being slayed at the box office by Toy Story 5, Obsession and some Minions.

In under two hours, Kara Zor-El travels across the galaxy on a murderous quest for revenge.

Supergirl is part of the DCU's Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. So far, it has received mixed reviews from critics, and has grossed $100.5 million against a production budget of $170–186 million. So a box office bomb.


Is this the beginning of the death of superhero films? I think Spiderman and The Avengers may turn around this downward trend.

I kinda wanted this to work more. The series was so PG, this felt a bit of a stretch to turn Supergirl more indie.

Jason Momoa also was a random addition. This film has so much wrong about it, that it almost works. Like it almost was a cult classic. But it just lacks something. Unlike Guardians of the Galaxy, the music feels forced, with lame song choices.

This could be an early frontrunner for the Razzie Awards next time around.

After being a student at Newtown Performing Arts School, Milly Alcock I really wanted to like this. I loved Uptight. But this was just not the best.

2 Stars.
