Dynamic Leads Can’t Quite Save 'Supergirl' From Turbulent Early Reviews

Early critical reactions to the film indicate that DC Studios has a visually stunning, emotionally resonant hit on its hands. By heavily leaning into the cosmic aesthetics of the source material, Gillespie has crafted a space opera that feels entirely distinct from past DC releases. Critics are praising the film for blending interstellar stakes with an intimate, raw story of grief and justice.

The cinematography is being widely praised. Reviewers laud Ana Nogueira’s script for staying incredibly faithful to the poetic, revenge-driven tone of Woman of Tomorrow.

However, some critics note that audiences expecting a bright, traditional "Superman-style" adventure might get buried under the movie’s heavier themes of vengeance.

David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter was less enthusiastic about the film overall. “I wish I could say I had even half as good a time at Craig Gillespie’s leaden attempt to resuscitate Superman’s cousin as a viable hero in her own interstellar ruckus. Sadly, that’s not the case, despite Milly Alcock’s hard-edged performance making her an appealingly punky protagonist,” he wrote.

​Variety's Owen Gleiberman wrote, “Lite trappings of “Supergirl” make it a subversion of the genre. It’s all so desperate to be “punk rock.” But “Supergirl” is a punk crock.”

​Audience reactions on Letterboxd have followed a similar pattern: praise for the leads, frustration with the film around them.

“It’s a perfectly fine movie that reminds me a lot of Phase 1-2 Marvel movies. Milly does great as Kara, but the movie itself holds her back. Momoa as Lobo is AMAZING and so much fun in every scene. Visually, it’s very dull; every planet looks and feels the same. No color anywhere to be seen. But ultimately feels inconsequential, & some very strange changes to the comic,” one user wrote.

Another wrote, “Milly is great as Kara, and Jason is great as Lobo, but the movie definitely held them back. Cool action sequences, but changes to the lore were lame. Overall, the comic is way better and I wish it was more faithful but still had a good time.”

A third reviewer noted, “Here DC goes again, taking one step forward, two steps back.”

“Wish it took more inspiration from the book for its visuals and ending, but like I (expletive) with Milly heavy as Supergirl. Lots of fun, but I cannot ignore the massive Star Wars influence to its detriment (they literally recreated babu frick) + it looks like Thor: The Dark World,” a fourth commenter wrote.
