Supergirl [1984] [DVD] [1984]

Before Superman came Supermum and in-between came Supergirl.The film is very confusing thanks to Supergirl's multiple identies. On Earth, she is called Lydia Loo, on her home planet she is known as Lisa Lace and as Supergirl she introduces herself as Lois Lees. This gets even more confusing when half way through the film she experiences amnesia and claims to be Lucy Long, Lana Lemon and Lynda Lang-Lee-Lane.Once you get past this, the film is relatively enjoyable. Supergirl must foil a ghastly plot to turn Metropolis into a purpose-built shopping centre.Engaging.

Classic film

Not as good as I remembered it years agoStill enjoyed watching it. Although there are some disappointing bits in the film.

This film has had a fare share of bad reviews and publicity but I don't think it's fair and justifiable.I watched this as a child long before Superman so it is part of my memories and remembering loving it so much, thanks to Faye Dunaway's performance and good use of humor. I agree, it's not in the same league as Superman, but it's much more entertaining than Superman III which I got bored with half way through. With this it's fun throughout and found it is refreshing that all the female characters are strong and individualistic rather than damsels in distress (Louis Lane) and the flying sequences are much more believable in this movie than the first Superman because of the advance in technology in the 80's. Also, people discredit Helen Slater's wonderful performance. This was not only her first film, but also a starring role. And beautifully shows the differences in character of Kara and Linda Lee. Unlike Superman who has lived on Earth most of his life, Kara has just come. Therefore audience may have been baffled as to why Helen's performance makes it look like she's puzzled all the time, that's because she's growing and learning throughout the film (It's basically a coming-of-age film) and I think the score is wonderful by Jerry Goldsmith. Sorry for the long comment and hope you find it useful. It is worth the watch.

SuperGirl sexy Helen Slater is amazing in this movie and quite frankly a reason worth owning it, she plays the hot cousin of Superman who has to go to earth to find an artefact that will save her world but it falls into the wrong hands as usual, the story has a bit of a weak set up at the beginning but is pretty good fun as the story goes on, its all set around the same timeline of Superman but he's apparently off on another planet helping them at the time, the effects are cool and good budget for the 80's and the soundtrack of course is good, there's plenty of corny action and cheesy lines etc but its all good fun, Helen Slater is a beautiful SuperGirl and looks amazing in her tight red and blue outfit, certainly worth going back too and picking up cheap if you don't have it already!! Be nice to see this on Blu-ray somebody??UK DVD Picture is pretty decent, no special features (RUNS 120min)

As a kid I loved Superman the original film was the first thing I ever saw at the cinema and for a 6 year old it left a lasting impression on. So imagine my excitement several years later when I found out they where making a Supergirl film. It was the released the day my baby sister was born and I remember going to see it at the cinema only to be left disappointed so forty years later I rewatched it and discovered how at 11 years I was nt that impressed. To begin with a terrible script and the editing was poor that left some holes in the plot, but visually it's stunning with the original print transferring to blue ray beautifully. Not to look down on the film too much its a great escape and nostalgic it's just a shame they did nt do a better job with it considering the money that was put into it. On the B R you also get a making of documentary which I remember watching on telly one Christmas and a theatrical trailer and that's it.

It's a wonderful movie, perfect to add to my superman collection

I’ll be quite honest, I really like this movie, it’s fun, frivolous and just great to see with a wonderful soundtrack. Sure I get it’s not brilliant, it’s a couple of hours of throw away your brain and just switch off enjoyment. So I was excited to get the blu ray at a bargain price. It’s a great little disc, with simply a trailer and the good old vintage documentary that is often included. I remember watching that on TV when it first aired. If you, like me, like this kind of 80s superhero hokiness, then at the right price this is a great bargain.

This product works great! Thank you.

The dvd supergirl was in excellent condition. Also, this movie did not have any parts cut from it. Would order from this site again. Thanks so much!!
