What critics compared Supergirl to
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.”
