super!
Once upon a time, classic comic books asked us to buy all types of astounding notions. Remember the idea that Superman could fool people into thinking he was a different person just by taking off his glasses? It was fun. Remember those moments in the Salkind's Superman movies when Superman's costume would just appear at will? Well the same thing happens in Supergirl. Approach this film as fun for your inner kid. The director's cut DVD is impressively stuffed with goodies. Lovers of classic comic books will enjoy it.

The Limited 2-Disc set is a must-have for Supergirl fans!
Sure, the movie has flaws, and there are plenty of them; the horrible overacting by Faye Dunaway as villainess Selena and Peter O'Toole as Zaltar, ineffective cameos by Mia Farrow and Simon Ward as Supergirl's parents, bad writing, an extremely convoluted plot involving the search for something called an Omegahedron, and a silly love triangle between Supergirl, Selena, and a gardner. But then there are the good things; Helen Slater gives a good, if mannered, performance as Kara/Supergirl, and Hart Bochner makes hearts flutter as her love interest. Brenda Vaccaro, Marc McClure, and Maureen Teefy provide amusing support, and the flying scenes with Slater are great, a combination of flying and ballet and she looks so natural- her first scenes on Earth were the best thing in the movie. But what makes this film a 4-star movie are all the great extras; two versions of the movie, one with nearly 30 minutes of deleted scenes, including a hilarious ad-libbed scene about Jehovah's Witnesses, a great making-of documentary, in which we get a brief look at Supergirl's original movie outfit, headband and all, that was featured in the DC comic book, and insightful and often times funny commentary with director Jeannot Szwarc and Scott Michael Bosco, and a great booklet all combine to make this limited edition of Supergirl a real winner. As good as Superman or Superman II? Of course not! But it is better than Superman III or IV, and it's appropriate for the entire family.
