Supergirl (1984)
10/10
C'mon, why don't people give this film a break?

I personally enjoy this film immensely. It is a fun, free, and at times, spooky fantasy/adventure. In other words, it's a different type of Superhero film, and that's a good thing. First off, it's about a female, so the interest is more enchanting, I think. Secondly, it keeps more true to the superhero fashion, because it has monsters and magical evils that put people in peril. In Superman, the villain was a human, who was indeed, putting many in peril, but even so, it could have been more along the lines of fighting the green-eyed monster or something. Anyway, this movie is very stunning, with powerful effects, and even better acting by Helen Slater as "Supergirl". I just LOVE Faye Dunaway as the witch Selena. Peter O'Toole is great, and so is everybody else. I know it isn't Superman, but what else would be? This film is just a good ol' fashioned Superhero film, fun for all who should see it. Obviously, some may not like it, and that's okay. However, this film has a specialness to it that true adventurers will love! a 10/10!
