Supergirl

“Her first great adventure.”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 67, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
Superman's cousin arrives on Earth to recover a powerful orb and gets drawn into a witch's romantic ambitions. Helen Slater's sincerity and the villains' theatrical mischief pull in different directions, producing an oddly charming collision of superhero adventure and magical soap opera.
