Summary
Milly Alcock delivers a standout performance as Supergirl, bringing energy and charisma to the role despite a film that’s getting mixed reviews. Critics note the movie struggles with tone under director Craig Gillespie, bogged down by heavy baggage like drinking issues and family drama that dims the character’s fun. While space battles with villain Krem of the Brigands and flashbacks to Krypton feel underwhelming, standout moments include David Corenswet as Superman and emotional scenes with Ruthye and Krypto. The recurring Krypto peril and brief Lobo cameo add confusion, not excitement. Though Alcock’s presence saves the film, it’s seen as a missed opportunity — not terrible, but far from thrilling — leaving fans hoping for more from her in upcoming DC projects like Man of Tomorrow.
