Supergirl, the latest DCU film, is a mixed bag. While Milly Alcock shines as the titular character, the movie is let down by a wafer-thin plot, a forgettable villain, and lackluster action sequences. Director Craig Gillespie's attempt to make Supergirl a relatable underdog is admirable, but ultimately falls flat. The film's use of red suns and booze as a counter to Kara's powers is a clever touch, but it's not enough to save the movie from its predictable plot twists. Despite its flaws, Supergirl is still fun, making it worth a watch for casual fans. However, it's a shame that Milly Alcock's talent is wasted in this poorly packaged film.

Supergirl review: Milly Alcock may save the day but cannot save this soulless action film that cannot even get the action right in most places. | Hollywood
