Summary
A review of Craig Gillespie's Supergirl film starring Milly Alcock, based on Tom King and Bilquis Evely's Woman of Tomorrow comic series. The film presents a scruffy, punk-rock take on the DC universe, portraying Kara Zor-El as a hungover, hot-headed vagabond on an intergalactic quest for revenge, in stark contrast to the polished heroism of her cousin Superman. The review describes it as a mid-field superhero affair that is less about saving the universe and more about stumbling through it.

· 3 pulledSupergirl is a hungover, hot-headed vagabond carrying enough emotional baggage to fill the galaxy.
This is a superhero film less interested in saving the universe than in stumbling through it.
When we first meet Kara Zor-El (Milly Alcock), she's hopping between planets on a pub crawl in search of the oblivion her cousin Superman would probably disapprove of.
