Oh. My.

Do we have to? Well, it's here. I have to say, this movie was campy, horribly off 'canon' even before DC changed her character all around (several times)...and it was just plain bad.

Oh, I watched it. And I've watched it again when it came on tv. It's like a car wreck. You're too fascinated with the sheer awfulness of it to turn away.

Supergirl was too--timid's a good word. She was mousey and quiet. Now, I can understand her 'secret identity' being that way, but as Supergirl? <sigh> And I never did like that version of Jimmy Olsen.

Has anyone who's seen it, liked it? Please post and tell me why, if you can.

How about-

It was a reasonable interpretation of one of the theories of her creation?
 
I didn't reallt like the threats. the biggest threat in the movie in the runaway construction equipment. The demon was just an awful special effect. Though i do have to say it is a better supergirl story that has done in the last few years in the comic.

In fairness Supergirl was always a watered down variation of Superman. Having said that the film was more original than the first of the modern Superman films
