"Supergirl" DVD Synopsis:
When the planet Krypton was destroyed in a cosmic holocaust that claimed its great civilization, Kal-El (known to Earth as Superman) was believed to be the only survivor, until now...

"Supergirl" Tony's Comments:
When "Supergirl" hit cinemas in 1984 it was considered somewhat disappointing. Some critics were unkind in their appraisal but I feel that "Supergirl" is a little bit underrated. The Christopher Reeve "Superman" films set a very high standard so it was inevitable that "Supergirl" would suffer by comparison. For one, Helen Slater was the perfect choice to play the girl of steel and yes, you will believe "a girl can fly". When looked upon today, the film is an enjoyable piece of fluff and what it lacks in story or plot it more than makes up for with excellent special effects. The flying sequences in "Supergirl" are equal if not better than the "Superman" films. Maybe all the film needed was a brief appearance by Supergirl's cousin, the man of steel, certainly this would have brought the two films closer together and I am sure would of lifted "Supergirl" to a new level. Whatever the case maybe "Supergirl" is well worth checking out, even if it is only to get another glimpse of the beautiful Helen Slater at her youthful best.
