Supergirl 2026
I'm going into this review with trepidation y'all. I'm well aware that per the new rules, as a male any negative review of this movie will instantly open me up to incel allegations. That being said....
THIS MOVIE IS FUCKING TERRIBLE!!!!
Every problem with basic action movies and superhero fatigue is present & accounted for. I could hear the CinemaSins ding going off in my head at least once every few minutes.
The first 20 minutes of the movie present Supergirl as a completely unlikable person. She's opens the movie as a do nothing drunk who just wants to wallow in sorrow and depression.
Too bad I already saw Handcock
They paint her in such a bad light that the only way they have to make the audience care for her is to injury her dog for cheap sympathy.
Too bad I already saw John Wick
Which of course leads to the artificial force time crunch and the golden mcguffin to remind the audience of said time crunch.
And if this review is already seeming too long, here's a music video to keep recapture your attention.
I hope you like that cause this movie can't go 10 minutes without becoming music video. Hollywood really doesnt respect their audience and they know they have to throw in loud music and bright CGI lights every few minutes to keep people interested.
Every symptom of superhero fatigue is present in this movie minus someone doing a superhero landing. I think that's the only one they missed.
- Actors walking from the left of the screen to the right while a bunch of CGI nonsense happens around them .... check
- The two protagonists having a stupid fight to usher in the 3rd act.... check
- A villian so weak that we never learn ANYTHING about them and walk away from the movie not evening remembering his name .... check
They even throw in some human trafficking of young girls, so the hero has extra motivation to get the bad guy.
Too bad I already saw Black Widow
At this moment you might be thinking this review has gone on for too long again. Don't worry tho, here's a random insert of Superman.
You people really like this Superman
(for some reason
) so the movie is here to show him every 20 minutes or so. Just so you don't forget that his exist in the universe.
Good God they have multiple scenes of her floating in space, only to come across the yellow sun and get her powers back. Every one of those scene reminded me if Princess Leia figuring out that because her brother is jedi, she also has powers.
I've always loved the Supergirl character. In the comics and the animated series she was amazing. They even have young Queen Rhaenyra in the lead role. I really wanted to like this movie. More importantly I wanted the public to like this movie and the character. But this is not the one y'all.
From the open moments
(which is a music video montage) to the lackluster finale, this movie is wall to wall bullshit. Right up there with Superman, Deadpool/Wolverine, or Black Adam.
