Supergirl

I didn’t love this movie as much as I wanted to, but it was still a very solid film. It had a very strong start, and a very strong ending, with a bit of a soggy middle, which essentially felt like the writers were trying to find as many ways to nerf Kara as they possibly could to keep the plot moving.  Millie Alcock is an absolute delight, and it feels like she stepped right out of the comic book, just ad David corenswet did. Her performance is by far the best part of the movie and I can’t wait to see her again in man of tomorrow. Jason mamoa was clearly having the time of his life, and the sparing use of superman was great, he’s in it just enough to feel like a part of the film, and not in it so much that he feels like he’s overshadowing his cousin.  While the movie has a very muted colour palette compared to the comic, which is a shame, it still has plenty of shots that are absolutely beautiful. The main criticism is that the villain’s motivations feel oddly flat, and strangely contradictory at times, the repeated nerfing of Kara, and the strange obsession with pissing scenes the film seems to have, there’s like 3, for no apparent reason.  Overall, a fun movie, and a solid continuation of the DCU. I love how every DCU project so far has had a fully distinct feel to it, while still feeling part of the same universe. That idea is very comic booky and it’s been done very well so far, I can’t wait to see where it goes from here.
