What critics compared Supergirl to
…a now-legendary women-only screening of the recently released Supergirl…
…in Supergirl’s first solo outing since 1984…
…the character suffered a notorious screen flop with the 1984 movie starring Helen Slater…
There’s little of the wide-eyed innocence of Helen Slater in the 1984 flick…
Unlike the fairly awful 1984 version, this Supergirl has a bit more attitude to burn and isn’t just a female version of her big cousin…
After the last rather dismal attempt to make Kara Zor-El a movie hero on the same level as her male counterpart, 1984’s Supergirl, crashed and burned despite the best efforts of Helen Slater and a weird Faye Dunaway…
There, Christopher Reeve’s Superman stands side by side with Helen Slater’s Supergirl , while Nicolas Cage’s aborted take on the Man Of Steel is able to fight giant spiders in space while a dozen other characters and actors whiz by in a…um…flash.
Et quant à réactiver la nostalgie, autant faire appel à des effets numériques pour convoquer à la fête Helen Slater (la Supergirl des années 80) et même le regretté Christopher Reeve.
The old and stubbornly held Hollywood belief that a superhero movie starring a woman would flop was bolstered by some painful evidence: the critical and financial failures of Supergirl (1984), Tank Girl (1995), Catwoman (2004), and Elektra (2005).
In 1984, while the likes of Indiana Jones, the Ghostbusters and Gremlins were dominating the box office, one of the few superhero pictures of any note was the ill-fated “Supergirl.”
