Yar, you be here: Supergirl (Limited 2-Disc Special Edition) > Customer Reviews Supergirl (Limited 2-Disc Special Edition) Customer Reviews (1 - 3 of 30 Reviews)some people will back anything
I watched this tonight for the first time. I wanted to see it to say yes I've seen them all. I would have quit watching it as soon as Supergirl emerges from her ship wearing the "super" outfit but I wanted to stick it out. My kids, 5, 10 and 12 were yelling about how stupid it was but I wanted to perservere. It didn't get better. This was one of the worst, stupidest movies I have ever seen. Every thing about the Superman movies, that made you care, was lacking here. Its like they thought if they just slap the outfit on this girl it would hypnotize the masses and deliver a decent movie. Apparently this only worked for the weak minded. This movie totally sucked. It was stupid and not in a good way. I'm glad it was just borrowed from my neighbors. As soon as it was over I made the kids return it. I didn't want that piece of crap stinking up my house any longer than necessary. You have been warned. Burned out as soon as it was launched
I went to see this movie in the theaters as a kid, and I thought it was boring then. As an adult I saw it only to be doubly bored by it. Supergirl was supposed to be the complimentary series to the Superman movies, but I guess we should be greatful that this one fell flat on its face at the first try rather than burning out like Superman IV. Boasting an all star cast, Supergirl left her inner space home (inside planet Earth?!) to find the BenWah ball (also called an Omega Headron) that she lost to restore her home city's energy. Faye Dunaway, the villaness, comes across it and uses it to take over the earth. Faye Dunaway adds a camp aspect to it that makes one smile a bit, but her face was pulled so taught you could probably bounce a quarter off of it. Supergirl goes the Clark Kent route, possing as Linda Lee with a Lay Lady Lay Lane roomie at prep school who just happens to be going out with Jimmy Olsen from the Daily Planet. And that man they were fighting over?!?! Ethan?!?! I'd rather get into a fist fight over Eric Roberts. Something positive? Ok, going into the Phantom Zone was cool, as I always wanted to know what it was like there. Peter O'Toole looks like he's on the edge of hysterics, and I wonder what's in that Squirt bottle he's so found of in the Phantom Zone. I think the best thing about this was that they didn't attempt a sequal. wonderful fantasy
This is fantastic! Just give this collector's edition with both the Director's and International Cut a try. You'll love it! As for the matter of how Supergirl changes into her costume: The same type of transformation was featured in the earlier three Superman films. The suit often just appeared on Superman thanks to some unknown Kryptonian power. Here it actually makes more sense since Kryptonian science is shown to be able to make thoughts into reality, the material the suit is made out of is shown to be in the capsule with her, and she clearly wishes to be like her legendary cousin. I like that type of movie magic. This collector's set is a gem!
