The thing that bothered me the most was the lack of back story. They wanted Supergirl to stand on its own rather than as a spin off of Superman(kinda hard to do when the main character flies with a cape and an S on her chest), but they could have at least said at some point that Argo was a city on Krypton that was somehow sent to another dimension when Krypton exploded.

I never really thought of it as the absolute worst, but certainly it's near the bottom. Certainly one of the biggest disappointments I've ever had at the cinema. I think there have actually been a lot worse, less inspired superhero movies since then, but for its time it was pretty darn bad.
I know this. All I remember is that the big action scenes were when Supergirl saved some pretty boy from a possessed wheel excavator and a possessed Tilt-A-Whirl. So, it was pretty f'ing bad. Or maybe that Tilt-A-Whirl was the spaceship in
Explorers

  • a movie I actually really liked.

I have to agree.

It is indeed a bad movie, and in my opinion it makes Superman IV look good. That being said, I think it's far from the worst movie ever.

Probably slightly better than Superman III, definitely better than IV though which is awful in every possible way, I think Supergirl is very flawed but still has its moments, including the gorgeous Helen Slater. To be honest I think I'd rather watch this than Man of Steel.

Now, while I am NOT defending this movie one bit. it is unadulterated trash it is not the worst movie ever. Its right up there, but I am one of those gluttons that seek out trash 'for a good time' (lol) and while one could pluck many a moment to stake its claim(it tried REALLY REALLY hard) its truly not awful enough to win this one. Consider yourself lucky if this is the worst in your world. Perhaps you have been spared heh

The movie is bad, but definitely not the worst. It's one of those films that could have been better, The producers and director made Supergirl look pretty dumb. To give the film credit, the film did have some pretty good effects, a great score, and it was also great to see what the Phantom Zone looked like
