'Supergirl' Review: A Dystopian Superhero Film Undone by a Terrible Script and Corporate Pretension
By
Owen Gleiberman
Summary
A scathing review of a "Supergirl" movie (likely "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" or similar) starring Milly Alcock. The reviewer finds the film to be a dystopian superhero movie with a terrible script, corporate pretension masquerading as "punk rock" attitude, and overall a horrendous viewing experience. The review draws comparisons to the previous "Superman" reboot, noting that while that film had issues with being overstuffed, this Supergirl entry fails entirely.
