Corey J I'm honestly still not sure what this was. While I can appreciate things we've learned from other Superman movies being implemented without new explanation for it but it totally ignored how massive of a deal it would be that another Kryptonian with a giant S on their chest has arrived on earth. The villain's motivation was pretty abysmal and I can't even imagine that it was even viewed as solid in 1984 when it came out. Half of the performances tried to be serious while others were entirely campy. Nothing in this movie worked. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/03/25 Full Review Tyler S Personally, I was expecting to rate this like half a star. But honestly, I've seen worse, but it still wasn't great. I actually enjoyed Helen Slater in the role, and I would've enjoyed seeing her and Christopher Reeve share the screen as the children of Krypton. Unfortunately, this film was just so bland. I didn't even know what the plan was the whole movie. Like, why should I care for this antagonist? What was her goals? What were Kara's goals? It felt like they changes multiple times. Just no consistency here. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/30/25 Full Review Mitch B Helen Slater carries the movie and I recommend it on that alone. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/17/25 Full Review Chum L Stumbled onto this looking for a movie to stream. I like Helen Slater. She is no great actor, but then again, she was hired for her Oscar willing acting ability. Enjoyed her much more in Billie Jean, Secret of My Success... The movie was terrible from the start and 2 hours of time never to be recovered. Story line is weak, no good transactions or true meanings. Like trying to make a cute female version of the 1978 Superman and failed miserably. What a total waster of $35 Million back in 1984 and to only gross around $14 Million Worldwide. Perhaps if the cuter midriff Supergirl outfit could have helpless attract more views. Regardless, terrible acting, even worse special effects, if you could even call them that. Just a terrible rip off from 1978 with Christopher Reeve Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/11/25 Full Review Daniel B Tengo que reconocer que “Supergirl” me pareció una película muy entretenida, a pesar de nunca tener un objetivo narrativo claro, los acontecimientos aunque en un conjunto presenten múltiples errores estructurales, en individual cada uno es bastante entretenido; Helen Slater podrá no ser la mejor actriz, pero la bondad con la que presentó este personaje hizo que la película terminara por funcionar, ya sea desde su faceta cómo superheroína o cómo estudiante, en cada una de ellas mínimo yo amé verla en pantalla. Para mí el principal error de esta película fue cómo presentaron a nuestra protagonista, la película es muy ambigua en desarrollar las habilidades de esta, posee superpoderes que Superman no tiene, donde a diferencia de él, ella pareciera que desde que llegó a la tierra ya era consciente casi de todas sus habilidades cómo de ciertos aspectos del mundo. Para mi un problema que siempre han tenido las películas del Superman de Christopher Reeve al igual que esta, es que intentan estructurar mil subtramas en una sola película, y esta película vaya que fue víctima de esto, primero presentan el mundo donde vive Kara, pero sin ningún desarrollo, después no terminan de establecer a la antagonista de esta historia, solo limitan su arco en querer dominar el mundo, la parte de la universidad lo mismo, no terminan por establecer a personajes que pareciera que en un primer corte eran más importantes, la batalla final se siente muy apresurada y hasta climática por no poder ordenar todas sus ideas desde un inicio. Aun así a pesar de todos los errores tanto argumentales cómo estructurales la verdad si la disfruté mucho, aunque no tengan casi ningún sentido dentro del contexto de esta cinta, me encantaron las referencias a Superman, cómo de la parte más adolescente de Linda en la Universidad, hubiera amado que la película hubiera desarrollado más esa parte, las escenas de acción fueron superadas por la limitaciones de la época, pero se nota que hubo una intencionalidad de regalarnos algo más, hay un diseño de producción fantástico en algunas escenas. Helen Slater luce hermosa en toda la película, a pesar de siempre parecer que la película pudo dar mas en cada planteamiento de lo que terminó dando, si considero que es lo suficientemente entrañable para ser redescubierta por una nueva generación. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/29/25 Full Review r96 s 'Supergirl' is a second straight dud from this franchise, though I'd honestly say it's ever so slightly more interesting than the preceding 'Superman III'; it at least tries to tell a coherant story around its main character, which can't exactly be said for the aforementioned. Helen Slater is decent as Supergirl, any complaints with the character lie with how she is written rather than how she is portrayed by Slater. The best part of this movie, for me, is actually Faye Dunaway. Selena isn't necessarily a plus, though I think Dunaway's performance held potential. Peter O'Toole has a small part to play, nice to have an actor like him involved - on a similar note, it's a shame Christopher Reeve turned down a cameo, not that you could blame him of course. All in all, this is a disappointing movie. A shorter run time might've helped, fwiw. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/08/25 Full Review Read all reviews
