I hate to be harsh, but with a bad story, bad special effects, and worst of all, bad acting, this film has nothing to offer for anyone who isn't both a Superman fan and a masochist.

I love this movie (joking). it has one of the best special effects of all time. even better than marvel's amusement park movies (someone is making me to write these things). it's the best, and it deserves more. i don't know why critics do notI love this movie (joking). it has one of the best special effects of all time. even better than marvel's amusement park movies (someone is making me to write these things). it's the best, and it deserves more. i don't know why critics do not like this movie.

Supergirl is the worst comic book movie I’ve ever seen. I’m not surprised that this was trash since it’s an 80s movie about Supergirl, but this was worse than it should’ve been.

Not perfect, but still an enjoyable concoction of Silver Age comic styling in an early 80s fantasy "girl in another world" story. There's more to redeem this than you would often be led to believe. Embrace the camp and nonsense and you willNot perfect, but still an enjoyable concoction of Silver Age comic styling in an early 80s fantasy "girl in another world" story. There's more to redeem this than you would often be led to believe. Embrace the camp and nonsense and you will find a charming and surprisingly stylish tale of a young women discovering what she is capable of.… Expand

Une distribution de premier plan pour ce film "Supergirl" même si les vedettes n'y font que cabotiner et se ridiculiser éhontément... et pour la gamelle sans doute ! mais tout de même... il y a des limites à tout. Le film n'est en tout casUne distribution de premier plan pour ce film "Supergirl" même si les vedettes n'y font que cabotiner et se ridiculiser éhontément... et pour la gamelle sans doute ! mais tout de même... il y a des limites à tout. Le film n'est en tout cas rien moins qu'un épouvantable nanar qui cumule bêtise, maladresse et premier degré inexpugnable : impossible donc d'en rire (ou d'en sous-rire, même en soldes).

Il faut dire que si la cousine de Superman est une blonde absolument ravissante, elle n'en reste pas moins écervelée, tellement écervelée qu'elle pourrait jouer dans une télé-réalité. Quoi qu'il en soit, elle est venue nous faire un petit coucou imprévu parce que là d'où elle vient, c'est tous des branques cousins consanguins de Régis, Rainman (l'autre super héros) et Forrest, Forrest Gump (encore un super héros). Du coup, il ne faut point s'étonner de ce qu'elle trimballe, la pauvre... mais sur Terre, elle a trouvé d'autres débiles à qui parler : tout s'arrange !

Evidemment, à l'origine, il ne s'agissait pas d'un navet mais bel et bien d'une grosse production... cependant, elle a bien mal vieilli et cette baudruche de film atteint les confins du ridicule très ridicule, les repousse même, toujours plus loin... Pensez à l'inviter à dîner un mercredi, ça pourrait être intéressant.… Expand

Classic movie that gets a lot of stick but is actually a fun fantasy superhero film of its time. One of the first female led films and along with its campy storyline actually makes this film enjoyable.

It's poorly made, sure. But it gave me some good fun. The story is dumb, but was adventurous. And the actress was the highlight.
