Marthian80 I like to watch comicbook movies, even the ones that were not very well received, and now it's time for this flick about the cousin of the Man of Steel. Supergirl starts with showing a space city which happens to be an isolated Kryptorian community in a pocket of trans-dimensional space(?? I just quote this stuff from the internet, it's not explained in the movie what trans-dimensional space is...). Some wizard dude called Zaltar (Peter O'Toole) shows Kara Zor- El/Supergirl (Helen Slater) a baseball-sized object known as the Omegahedron which powers the city but can also be used to make cheap looking jewelry or big butterflies (??). Kara Zor-El creates a big butterfly, which promptly flies out of the plastic sheet(?!) covered window causing the Omegahedron getting sucked out into space and flying straight to earth, landing in the thee of a woman known as Selena (Faye Dunaway), who immediately recognizes it as a valuable artifact.. The Kryptorians are a little angry with their power source flying out of the window and they blame Zaltar who takes full responsibility and goes to live in the phantom zone. However, Klara jumps in a "space ships" (space egg would be a better description) and flies to Earth to get the power source back. She lands on Earth as Supergirl; having the power to fly, great strength, laser-beam eyes and frost breath. But instead of using those powers to get the stone back, she decides it's better to dress up as a schoolgirl, make friends with other schoolgirls and doing schoolgirly things because that's obviously the right thing to do... The Kryptorian city could only last two "days" (Earth days?) so hopefully the schoolgirl approach will make sure Supergirl get's the stone back in time! Now I have seen some bad movies before but I think this is one of the worst ever for me. The only thing that was decent where some of the action scenes and some set pieces. The rest was just awful! The acting and the way that lines are delivered here is below the level of porn parodies. It looks like everything was just shot in one take after the actors remembered their lines. And yeah this movie is from the 80's so special effects where not what they are today but compared to the effects in the original superman (which came out 7 years earlier) this looks like stuff thrown together on a Sunday afternoon. The worst fake flying scenes ever are shown here.There is also nothing explained who Supergirl is and how she survived the destruction of Krypton? And who is this Zaltar guy? It's also not clear what the villain character wants, other then some big muscled guy who she has the hots for. Lex Luther in the original Superman wanted to blow up California, that sound more like a comicbook villain then some woman seducing a attractive guy. And the only reason she battles Supergirl is because she also likes the big muscled guy? Really? And don't get me started on the "join the schoolgirls!" part of the movie. My goodness, it felt like watching a parody of "Porky's Revenge" or some other B-class 80's comedy. Who thought that watching "Linda Kent's first day at high school!" made great stuff for a comic-book movie? This should be about superheroes not some dumb teenage crap. And when Supergirl finally could actually use her powers for the good, she just stands there in her schoolgirl uniform watching the town getting destroyed! And when she finally decides to do something she only saves the hot guy and nothing else! Worst. Superhero. Ever.I don't know if there is a Supergirl porn parody movie but I think it has better acting, plot and special effects then this piece of utter garbage. This is the first time that I regret watching a movie and feel sorry for myself to waste two hours. I recommend you clean your house, go help your neighbors with something or watch paint dry instead of watching this.

capone666 SupergirlThe unique thing about female superheroes is that they turn into super-villains every 30-days.Luckily, Kryptonian woman, like the one featured in this action-adventure, don't have periods.Tracking the Omegahedron, an all-powerful energy source, from Superman's home world to his adopted planet, Kara not only assumes his Earth lineage but also Clark's alter ego.Enrolled at an all-girls school where she falls for the caretaker Ethan (Hart Bochner), Supergirl must battle the witch Selena (Faye Dunaway) for Ethan's heart. Unfortunately, Selena is in possession of the Omegahedron and a shadow demon that she'll use to conquer humanity.Existing in the same world as Christopher Reeve's Superman, this 1984 adaptation of the DC Comics character was an early prototype of the shared superhero universe. Unfortunately, Superman fatigue had set in by the time this underrated romp was released.Moreover, it's nice that Superman finally has a sexual partner he won't annihilate.Yellow Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

Eddie Cantillo Supergirl(1984) Starring: Faye Dunaway, Helen Slater, Peter O'Toole, Hart Bochner, Mia Farrow, Brenda Vaccro, Marc McClure, Peter Cook, and Mia Frewer Directed By: Jeannot Szwarc Review From out of another galaxy and into your hearts comes... Supergirl I'm going to be reviewing one superhero movie a month and well for this month(even though I wanted this one to be later) I got Supergirl. After Superman IV: The Quest for peace the name Superman became a product for money and no genuinely cared about making a superhero movie anymore. However they decided to change it up a bit instead of it being Superman again they decide to use his cousin Kara/Supergirl. After losing a powerful orb, Kara, Superman's cousin, comes to Earth to retrieve it and instead finds herself up against a wicked witch. This movie fracking sucks. By the look of this movie, you can tell that no one gave a crap about the source material which is very sad because I hate every single female hero in the DC except the three known as Supergirl, Starfire, and Zatana. Supergirl being my favorite. The producers said lets throw in a love story, let's make the villain an evil female who's jealous and wants to be pretty, manipulative and have everyone be her slave. We can't have Supergirl save the planet, or do something noble it has to be a giant cat fight, that's what happens when old straight white men write stories about strong young women. They just want to be pretty, the music is very bland and almost like not their and doesn't engage me in the film. Which I find to be very odd because I put the disc in and I hear the John Williams Superman theme in the main menu so I'm thinking maybe this movie might be a little engaging but no it isn't. The effects are terrible as well because they just look so much better in other 80 films. I'm giving this film a one out of five.

mlcamilli-80034 Wow. I really wanted to like this movie. I'm not sure what movie the positive reviewers watched, but I must have watched a different version. Thought that even if it wasn't a blockbuster it would be entertaining enough to sit and watch with the kids. I never saw it when it first came out. Wish I hadn't wasted the rental fee.This movie made so little sense and, I hate to be so blunt but honestly, was just dumb. The only good thing about it was Helen Slater. Supergirl's world is going to die within days, if not hours, if she doesn't find the lost power source, and she treats it like a field trip. She's kissing boys and playing field hockey when she should be getting in touch with her cousin Superman to help her out (and seriously, he always knows when people are in danger, why doesn't he show up? I realize Christopher Reeves didn't want to play Superman anymore, but couldn't they have gotten somebody? This woman Selena is taking over the earth and he doesn't show up?). It was just painful to watch. Young kids won't mind if it doesn't make sense, but some of the scenes might be scary. Anyone else, I recommend you only watch it if you get it for free or you've already seen it and you know you like it. There are just too many negatives to list, and not any positives. Wait, one positive: You can get your kids using their brains by pointing out all of the things that don't make sense, the filming mistakes, or what the characters would be better off doing or not doing.I like kitschy movies and silly movies, and I don't like to knock movies, but this time I wish I had my two hours back.
