Rating: - a fun & cute movie
it was fun. i love the director's cut. just wish those scenes were shown when it was first released in the theatres in 1984. some were very crucial. i hope someone will do another supergirl in the future. a smart producer will. enjoy.****
Rating:  - I loved this movie!!!
I thought that this film was great,Helen Slater was unbelievable at playing supergirl,I was highly impressed!To those who dont know where superman is it is clearly stated over the radio that superman is light years away doing research or something close to that.My only complaint about the movie was the actor who played supergirl's love interest,when he played the slave part he was cheesy and acting like a baboon but other than that this film rocks on everything and yes you get to the phantom zone which we haven't seen in any of the superman movies!
Rating: - A Magical Journey that Never Ended....
Although Superman was long thought to be the only survivor of his doomed home world of Krypton many Kryptonians were able to survive its explosion and survive in 'inner-space.' Their survival was made possible due to a device known as the Omegahedron, which provides their city with energy to power their devices, and air to breathe, among other things. Argo City has blossomed into a utopian society where its inhabitants have become complacent. Zaltar, the city's founder and resident artist, expresses his desire to leave Argo City for parts unknown; however his plans are not to be. Having 'borrowed' the Omegahedron to bring his tree sculpture to life Zaltar attempts to hide his theft from Allura, Kara's mother, by secretly slipping the Omegahedron to Kara while discussing his plans for leaving inner space. Kara subsequently uses the Omegahedron on her own creation, an insect-like creature, that tears through one of the city's walls.
When the precious Omegahedron is sucked into space all hope seems lost, but Kara is determined to return it before the lights, and lives, of Argo City are extinguished forever. Kara follows the Omegahedron to Earth and, discovering her powers, becomes Supergirl.
Guided by a bracelet whose gem is linked to the Omegahedron, Supergirl follows the signal to Midvale, Illinois and assuming the alter ego of Linda Lee enrolls in an all girl college to provide herself with a cover story for her time on Earth. Meanwhile, the Omegahedron finds its way ... Read More
Rating: - 5 stars? TOO MUCH? MAYBE, but still for a collector's edition IT IS WORTH THE RATE!
When it comes to Helen Slater and Supergirl I tend to be a little partial because that blonde changed my life, entirely:she was the first blonde I saw when I was a kid so I felt in love inmediately. I hope to meet her someday, before I pass away because I love her, and I will always will! Anyhow, I will be as objective as I can.It is well know what the Salkinds tried to do: make more money by exploring all the possibilities from the Superman mithos. Therefore, Supergirl was the most obvious choice back then. Now, if we refer to the bad things: the story is not that bad, however, the naiveness and the holes in the plot are. There are too many things unreasonable within the story that if flaws of consistency. The treatment of the characters seems to pay tribute to those of Lex Luthor with a fool sidekick, Perry White=Mr.Danvers, Marc Maclure again as Jimmy Olsen, and the innocence of Kara (as Linda Lee) comparing it to Reeve's Clark Kent. NOW THE GOOD THINGS: The FX are amazing, even cooler than Superman III and Superman IV together. Kara flying ballet is just amazing, the phantom zone and the witch's 'witchery' are from the world beyond!! The Kara's character is one of the best performances, taking into account that it was her first major role. Helen really brought Kara to life, and not to mention that she looks so beautiful and hot in that costume. Even when the movie did not hit the box office it turned to be a legend! Everybody knows that Helen Slater is Supergirl, and probably she will be forever, ... Read More
Rating: - Great Underated Film Given A Great DVD Treatment
I have enjoyed this film for as long as I can remember and I still enjoy it to this day. The film fell alittle short but this DVD treatment makes up for it by giving us the International Version as well as a newer Directors Cut. The directors cut is the best giving us the best version of the film. It's sad it didnt do so well as I would have loved to see more movies about Supergirl.
