Supergirl starts on an interesting note, setting the mood neatly and providing a prime reason for the protagonist to pursue the villain. The story of her past adds a nice touch, while the character of Lobo (Jason Momoa) contributes to the madness. On the flipside, the humour is limited and the film gives a been-there-done-that feeling. It looks like a poor man's Guardians Of The Galaxy and another plot point gives a déjà vu of Mad Max. Milly Alcock (Kara aka Supergirl) delivers a performance which is authentic, subtle and yet effective. Eve Ridley (Ruthye) also puts her best foot forward. Jason Momoa is very entertaining. Matthias Schoenaerts (Krem) suffers from weak characterization; the villain is one-dimensional. David Corenswet (Superman) is decent and one wishes he had more to do. David Krumholtz (Zor-El) and Emily Beecham (Alura In-Ze) do very well as Supergirl's parents. All in all, Supergirl is a disappointing film.

My rating - ** out of 5!
