The online manosphere was attacking this movie online well before it was ever released in theaters. Feels like there is probably significant crossover with the people who bemoaned Barbie & The Little Mermaid. It's an action packed movie with a lot of heart. If this same plot was a Superman movie the dude-bros would be praising it... Don't listen to the chatter. Embrace your individuality and check it out for yourself.

I have to confess I came to "Supergirl" expecting not a lot. General reviews online and on YouTube have, for the most part, not been positive. Starting with the negatives, yes, there's a dash of woke nonsense. That said, it's not overdone, although I strongly feel any and all films are better off without it. On the upside, this is quite an enjoyable romp. The main character of Supergirl is likeably dysfunctional and quirky, traits that follow through in the story and other characterisations. This isn't the "saccharine superman" franchise; it's the grunge, cyberpunk edition. Everyone's a little weird, and it works really, really well. Pacing is on the mark too, with action that's colourful, at times gutterally violent, frenetic and oddly fun. On the subject of which, this film has a sense of humour. It's often rather trashy, but given how this film is presented, it complements it comfortably. In summary, I liked "Supergirl". There, I've said it. It's fun, eccentric in a good way and downright entertaining. Yes, there's a little woke bullshit, but it's more an insignificant bystander with a small placard than some provoking attention-seeking idiot with a massive neon sign, if that makes sense. Worth a look.

Check out my full review @ https://www.manuelsbento.com/supergirl-2026-a-fierce-gritty-cosmic-awakening-hampered-by-familiar-trimmings/ Rating: B- SUPERGIRL is a beautifully gritty, visually striking cosmic adventure anchored by a powerhouse performance from Milly Alcock, who perfectly captures the raw vulnerability and fierce strength of Kara Zor-El. While the film shines brightest when diving into the somber depths of survivor's guilt and features a scene-stealing Jason Momoa as Lobo, it gets dragged down by a bland villain, an inconsistent emotional anchor in Eve Ridley's Ruthye, and incredibly frustrating, mood-ruining needle drops. Still, I found it a highly personal origin story inserted in a space western worth experiencing on the big screen.
