- SUPERGIRL
This one is about a group of surviving Kryptonians, living in the flying Argo City and one of them happens to be Superman's cousin! The thing that really dissappointed me about this one was the horrid story. The idea of Supergirl coming to earth in pursuit of a magic Kryptonian device only to get in a ridiculous love triangle between a gardener and nutty witch is pretty dumb for a superhero film. While Supergirl does have some okay moments, the conjured up monsters and the sfx for them were blurry and difficult to understand. Also, the inclusion of Jimmy Olsen, while interesting, doesn't seem to fit in anywhere.Lucy Lane was a good idea though. Overall I was dissappointed by this movie, but the only reason I gave it 2 stars was because of Helen Slater's one of a kind portrayal of Supergirl. Watch it, but don't expect to see a super-movie.

- SUPER-CAMP!
ALRIGHT ALREADY...So, it's not "Citizen Kane",however, it is what it is inteneded to be -- AN ESCAPE. That isexactly what you will get. Take my advice and rent it on tape and wait for the DVD when Anchor Bay releases it.Remember -- IT'S ALL IN FUN! PURE CAMP! Faye Dunaway is at her best in an "over the top" role a la "Mommie Dearest" -- a must see!

- Give This Film A Chance People! :)
Okay, listen up! Lets not forget that this picture was made in 1984! The only reason I love watching this film over & over again is because I love absolutley anything to do with The Girl Of Steel. And yes okay okay I was a little generouse with the stars thing...

I think this is a pretty good film, appart from rolling my eyes when thinking it all revolves around chasing Ethan (Heart Bochner).

BUT, did you know... the original script wanted to bring Superman (Christopher Reeve) & Supergirl (Helen Slater) together! Just think how awesome that would have been, only if Christopher Reeve didn't back out because he didn't want to be known only for being Superman, fair enough.

My advice... try to give this film a go, & be patient till they decide to make another one, perhaps a better one, hopefully it will be mine with me in the title role (I wish! One day perhaps, remember my initials AS :)) & try not to judge it by the standards of todays movie makings. Just enjoy it, & remember 1984 people! "Let your imagination explode, give it a try, go on......"

I saw this movie in the theaters along time ago in 1984 and I loved it. I thought Helen Slater was fine in this movie when she played Supergirl. It's a good movie.

- Bad Video Quality, Good Movie
I bought this video so I wouldn't have to wait for the movie to play on tv, and I was so disappointed in the quality of the video. It is unbelievably bad---the heavily edited tv-version has way better picture quality.

About the movie itself: The one thing I really liked about this movie was how Kara changed into Linda Lee. She didn't need a phonebooth; I think she just willed her appearance to change. Not only did her costume become a school uniform, her hair turned brown! That was so cool.

Although the other characters annoy me so badly, I've watched this movie countless times because of Ms. Slater's portrayal of Kara... And get this, I first watched "Supergirl" at the movies when I was in the second grade. That's like fifteen years ago! I've been a huge fan of this movie ever since.
