It's not a docu-drama, it's a comic strip! It's supposed to be fun-fantasy and who cares if there's holes in the plot and impossible acts occur? (e.g. wasn't Krypton blown apart years ago when Kal-El/Superman left it as an infant? Que?? And how did Kara acquire that looks-superb-on-her super-costume while traveling in her capsule?) Who expects believability anyway? Enjoy what's there. Helen Slater is a drop-dead gorgeous Supergirl and plays the fantastical part with dignity and the suitable naivete expected of an alien visitor. She does a marvelous job with it. And yes, Faye Dunaway overacts; I would think her part in such a flick required a large helping of campy emoting as the powerful but somewhat klutzy witch Selena. A lot of the fun was in the interaction between the quixotic Selena and her Sancho Panza-like sidekick Bianca (Brenda Vaccaro, herself no slouch at ironic comedy). Selena constantly pushing her new-found powers beyond her own abilities to control, landing the two in mess after tangled mess, accompanied by Bianca's timely snide cynicisms. You'll love Helen Slater, and you'll love to hate Dunaway & Vaccaro. It's fun. It's fantasy. Buy it, you'll end up watching it over and over.

Enough comparing this movie to the Superman films. It was produced by the same people (Alexander and Ilya Salkind), but the similarites only go that far. If you consider Supergirl by itself, it is a great movie. The story isn't the best it could've been, but it's altogether very enjoyable. Helen Slater is very convincing as Supergirl. She plays the character exactly the way Supergirl should be done. The special effects are great, especially the flight scenes. And of course, Jerry Goldsmith's score is incredible! If you're not a film critic and just want a movie you can enjoy, Supergirl is for you.

I've watched "Supergirl" since I was a child. If someone was to watch it that didn't watch it as a child , they would probably think that it was stupid as I'm sure this Mr. Bishop does. But since I've grown up watching it, I love it. If you like superhero movies, why not give this one a try. It isn't a oscar-worthy film or as good as one of the Superman movies, but it's still good. And if you are like me, and like to see the girl kick-butt such as Batgirl, She-Ra etc.. than you will enjoy this movie. Oh, and Mr. Bishop, it is "Wannabe", not want-a-be. Haven't you heard the Spice Girls song?

Whatever is all I have to say about this stupidly made movie. Flat story with cardboard characters. This movie stunk!
