Critics, per Wikipedia

In the United States, Supergirl was picked up by Tri-Star Pictures for release on 21 November 1984. Test audiences found the film overlong, and the film was edited from 135 minutes to 105 minutes for its North American release. Critical reviews in the United States were poor, and although the film took the #1 slot at the North American box-office during its opening weekend, it is widely considered to be a box office bomb after making only $14.3 million in North America. Critical reviews were mixed to negative. Supergirl holds an approval rating of 19% and has an average rating of 4.1/10 on Rotten Tomatoes based on 134 reviews. Many of the reviews were negative, with Dunaway's campy…

    If you haven't seen Supergirl, I have never related to a scene in a movie more right now than when she flies to space so that she can scream into the nothingness of the universe.

    "So why are people acting like Supergirl is the worst movie ever made? (One critic even said it had the “worst script I can remember.”) There’s a simple answer: misogyny." Yes. I'd add that it's almost certainly coordinated misogyny, and someone is profiting from it. ew.com/supergirl-is...

    #Supergirl is a direct follow-up to a very well liked movie, features Krypto (who everyone loves), has Jason Momoa as Lobo (which fans said they always wanted) & stars an actress everyone agrees was a standout in HotD. The only reason there’s a hate campaign against it is because “Girl.”

    Just got back from seeing Supergirl again, and wow, the hate for this movie from all sides is silly. I really like it. My favorite thing is how disgustingly, literally filthy she is. Greasy hair. You can smell the sour, vomit splattered, sweaty, entirety of her. She is a mess in every way. ❤️💙💛

    Many critics I respect didn’t like SUPERGIRL as much as I did, but this review, in a major publication, struck me as nuts: “The film can’t quite articulate why Krypto is so important to Supergirl.” What?!!! IT’S HER FUCKING DOG! Who wouldn’t travel across galaxies for an antidote for their sick pet?

    Supergirl was excellent! I can see from reading reviews that several didn’t understand the feminist work the film does around grief, anger, and violence, including the trauma of women & girl refugees & the heart wrenching choices the parents of refugee children have to make. It’s worth supporting.

    The "Supergirl" movie's message is that it doesn't matter if you're unprepared and narcissistic; you win because you are strong and the stars align for you. This is an American way of seeing things. Our disastrous war in Iran has been fought on these principles. snyder.substack.com/p/supergirl-...
