    It's okay. It could have been better. Not as good as the Christopher Reeve Superman movies. Kind of Campy even for the time it was made. Helen Slater though did make a good Supergirl.

    07-25-08 --I really wish they would re-make this film. They really didn't do anything special with Supergirl in this movie. Although it was '84. One year after Superman 3 so, you know Warner Bros. was like smoking something bad back then. I mean when she got to earth she knew Clark Kent and who Superman was and never any mention of Kal-El. The writing was so dumb because they put stuff in that was never explained. You know people just suddenly knew stuff. Remake Please!!!

    I guess this movie had to be made because of the superman movies. But man it couldn't even face up. Helen Slater might of been ok eye candy for that time, but as an actress, she was not good. Plus the story was all weird too. I guess that just wanted to try something new and it didn't work.

    The first and so far the only movie to showcase the talents of Superman's cousin, Supergirl!

    Originally was to feature a cameo appearance by Christopher Reeve as Superman who would show Supergirl the world but Christopher Reeve was reluctant to play Superman again so it never happened.

    Stars Helen Slater, Faye Dunaway, Marc McClure, Hart Bochner, Maureen Teefy, Peter Cook and Peter O'Toole.

    Not quite as great as the first two Superman movies (or the latest one) but this is a fun one-time outing for the woman of steel. The writing's a bit weak but Helen Slater does a good job in her dual (actually triple) role.

    This is the story of SUPERMANS Cousin a beautiful blond KARA played by new comer Helen Slater this movie shows Kara as a college student and as Supergirl she has all of the same powers as Superman and there is even a scene that movie watchers get see in which Kara and Clark Kent meet and Superman and Kara meet for a brief time superman being of course the late great Christopher Reeves.. and the special effects for its time are absolutely amazing...

    This box office flop is actually a campy treat with a terrific cast including Peter O'Toole and Faye Duanaway. Ther's great special effects and overall this is a very endearing production

    Guilty pleasure! what guy wouldn't fall for Helen Slater in that skimpy outfit. If you could find the 2-disc limited edition with the extended footage then the movie makes more sense.

    A nice addition to the Superman franchise.

    Great musical score by Jerry Goldsmith. Campy movie. Helen Slater is adorable, but this movie is just pure camp.

    Although the story isn't very good and the bad guy was lame I thought this was a decent flick.
    The flying scenes were decent and the casting of Helen Slater was a good one. The problem was that the script was silly and the villain was a joke. Most of the action scenes were a little weak as well.
    One of the cool things in the flick was the first look inside the Phantom Zone.
    The music was also very good and gave a nice feel to the overall movie.

    Fun little fim, some quirks in her powers here. Some inconsistancy. But Slater is gorgeous. She looks good in that outfit.

    I have watched Supergirl quite a few times and simply love it. I think Helen Slater acted brilliantly in it, and she comes over as very warm and comfortable in her role.

    Did you know Margot Kidder was supposed to be in this movie? They wrote a role for her to star as Lois who came to help Supergirl out.

    Unfortunately, Faye and Margot got into it. You can check out all the details here...it's crazy!!!!
