4.0 out of 5 stars An animated version of the movie sounds terrific, Mar 27 2011

This review is from: Supergirl (DVD)

Although I am a big Supergirl fan, I think this movie should have an animated version different from the original Supergirl movie. Even Elisha Cuthbert; Megan Fox; Renee Zellweger or Jessica Biel should play the voice of Supergirl in the animated version. Good action for the original, but how about more action for the animated version? If Warner Bros releases the animated version of Supergirl to theaters, then that sounds like a great idea.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dunaway eats it up!, Jan 30 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Supergirl (Widescreen) (VHS Tape)

This is Dunaway in one of her best performances, really. People doubt her ability to do comedy, but this shows she can do it quite well. Faye Dunaway as the Evil Selena who "will settle for nothing less than world domination." It doesn't get any better than that! Sure, the plot and movie make little sense, but I don't think they were supposed to. Dunaway is funny as heck, I just love watching this movie. She looks good, too. I have a Selena trading card autographed by Miss Dunaway herself. It's one of my most prized possessions! It's fun, it doesn't make a lot of sense, it's really funny, and Dunaway is in a ton of scenes. What more do you want?

3.0 out of 5 stars Winsome; SUPER-silly-ious fun..., July 2 2003

By

Arthur F. McVarish (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Supergirl (Widescreen) (VHS Tape)

The script of SUPERGIRL is inane. The dialogue--particularly on ARGO, Krypton's surviving inner-space Metropolis--is nonsensical. A fine cast...including Peter O'Toole;Faye Dunaway and BEDAZZLING British ironist, Peter Cook...is torturously abused. The film is one goofy mess. What--almost--saves the day is the charming performance of Helen Slater as SUPERGIRL...

Miss Slater is a beautiful young lady whose winsome, unaffected role as WOMAN of STEEL is winning and SUPERbly appealing. Special Effects(overall production values)are excellent.
It's super shame the story deserves consignment to the Phantom Zone. One redeeming moment...in what seems to have been attempt to portray Supergirl as Fairy Princess battling Faye Dunaway's New Age(super-silly-ious) foray into Black Magic...is THE FLYING SEQUENCE. It's near-astonishing aerial ballet evoking Peter Pan wonder as in SUPERMAN I but with greater technical proficiency. SUPERGIRL,however,never overcomes its clownish posture toward material regarded MYTHOLOGICAL(revered in now classic CHRISTOPHER REEVE portrayals of Superman I & II). This is Kryptonite killing fault dooming an all-star array of actors and actresses and classy production mounting. Ironically, seeing Hellen Slater soar as SUPERGIRL does make one believe a MAN CAN FLY.
What could've been exciting epic reduced itself to comic cartoonish: super-silly fun; eminently forgetable except as cult curiosity it's deservedly become.(3 & 1/4 Stars)

4.0 out of 5 stars All the action and romance an 8 year old girl can handle.
This movie was definately made with the pre-teen girl in mind. A squeaky clean Slater as the Girl of Steel has all the honesty and innocense needed to carry off her character... Read more
