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.

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.

"Kara" (Milly Alcock) is an unfulfilled soul who revels in a bottle and a battle in equal measure - despite the more restraining attempts at influence from her more famously caped cousin (David Corenswet). That explains why she isn't so very interested in getting involved with "Ruthye" (Eve Ridley) who is on a quest to avenge her murdered family at the hands of the mighty "Krem" (Matthias Schoenaerts). It seems, though, that try as she might she can't shake off this pesky brat and after an altercation of her own with this man as he pinches her spaceship and puts a dart into her beloved pooch "Krypto", she is soon embroiled in a series of escapades across the galaxy seeking the antidote that hangs in an amulet around his neck. All the while, "Lobo" (Jason Momoa) on an huge motor cycle that might ask some very personal questions about this bounty hunter's inadequacy complex is also seeking "Krem" and so works alongside, if not exactly in tandem, with the pair as they constantly manage to escape from the frying pan into the fire against seemingly overwhelming odds, a green sun and even some injectable kryptonite. Sadly, no, there is very little original in this film aside from some flashbacks to fill us in on how she escaped from the doomed "Krypton" in the first place, but I did enjoy Alcock's charismatically enthusiastic and laissez-faire characterisation: a girl with attitude who knows how to kick ass but really just wants to be left in peace to meander the galaxy's yellow suns with her mischievous super-mutt. There is plenty of action and it's quite an enjoyable accompaniment to the rather sacharin-like Corenswet's efforts as "Superman" - but will you ever remember it? Hmmm, I doubt it.
