#Supergirl is highly enjoyable.
It doesn’t quite have the resonance of Superman, but it acts as both a perfect companion and follow-up to that movie with better characters and more complex relationships.
It’s also incredibly emotional, which makes the action hit even harder. pic.twitter.com/Mic27Q2jKu

– WB / DC moved the social media embargo release to today (6/18), so early reactions are out, and mostly positive.
– Reviewers praise Milly Alcock and Jason Momoa, the action, comparisons to “True Grit” and “Mad Max” (and GotG); cons include slow pace, obvious green screen at times that ruin immersion, a bland villain (writing, not performance), and some questionable adaptation choices
– “Supergirl” releases June 26 and stars Milly Alcock, Matthias Schoenaerts, and Jason Momoa.
SUPERGIRL is everything I wanted it to be. Girls can be messy and that rules! Kara isn’t her cousin and I really loved how this movie makes that clear. She’s a different kind of hero and perfect in every way. pic.twitter.com/38V5fP2MWd

#Supergirl channels the energy of Gunn’s SUPERMAN while carving out its own identity. Surprisingly dark themes, MAD MAX vibes, and a JOHN WICK-style motivation drive the story. Milly Alcock shines, and Jason Momoa brings his trademark chaotic charm. pic.twitter.com/OoExPgB8Yx

Supergirl starts off as a slow burn, but once it finds its footing, it soars. Milly Alcock is incredibly relatable, bringing heart, vulnerability, and strength to Kara’s journey of embracing her imperfections and discovering the power within. The film balances emotional character… pic.twitter.com/3VZafVmvBK

Unfortunately Supergirl is a mixed bag for me. As a fan of the comic, I was (perhaps) overly excited for the film adaptation. While Jason Momoa’s Lobo & Milly Alcock shine, some adaptation choices and a bland villain keep it from greatness. It’s, simply put, just fine. #Supergirl pic.twitter.com/4uDAvQmjYv
