Rotten Tomatoes® Score

TOMATOMETER®

Critics Consensus: The effects are cheesy and Supergirl's wide-eyed, cheery heroine simply isn't interesting to watch for an hour and a half.

Alan Jones

Supergirl is a turkey of such epic proportions.

If Superman was an eagle streaking across the sky, Supergirl is the result of that eagle’s bowel movement.

No cut of this can redeem the considerable faults in storytelling, the unmanageable script choices, and the striking lack of entertainment value.

While 1978's Superman remains the best superhero movie ever made, this desultory spinoff wouldn't even crack the genre's top 50 (or 60, or 70...).

Supergirl could have been a contender. Instead, it felt like it was only made to make money rather than say something important or tell a compelling story.
