Supergirl Reviews
Alternate Ending
Tim Brayton
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.
Mania.com
Rob Vaux
A festering dump of bad ideas, corny lines and Hollywood excess.
Midwest Film Journal
Nick Rogers
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.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Why even go to the trouble of making a movie that feels like it's laughing at itself?
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Miss Slater makes a four-square heroine of unrelenting sincerity; a sturdy ingenue, she is great fun to look at but hardly a live wire.
Common Sense Media

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

Christopher Null
The tagline -- "Her first great adventure." -- is wrong in at least three ways.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
Boils down to a sexist catfight between two fairly powerful women for the affections of a fashionably unshaven landscaper.

Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
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.
Variety
Screenplay is filled with witty lines and enjoyable characters, but Jeannot Szwarc's direction is rather flat.
TV Guide
Jeannot Szwarc's direction is flat and uninspired, emphasizing the jokey elements without any sense at all for the material.
PopcornQ
Brandon Judell
Super-vacuous.
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
Still something appealing about it. It's "so bad it's good", if you will. That could be the fittingly cast Helen Slater as Supergirl and her alter-ego Linda Lee, it could be the fun escapist fare of a film such as this or it could be the fact that it's t
