5.0 out of 5 stars fun flick with a great cast, December 30, 2004

This review is from: Supergirl (Director's Cut) (DVD)

supergirl is an endearing comic book adventure with super actors who play it up for all it's worth. you can't beat peter o'toole, faye dunaway, helen slater, peter cook, mia farrow, brenda viccarro (she's got great chemistry with faye dunaway), and even simon ward who i hadn't seen since the hammer horror days pops up as supergirl's dad. plus jimmy olsen from the superman movies is here too and jerry goldsmith provides the music. there are a lot of fun and kooky moments in this one that i completley enjoyed, the image of the film is beautiful, there are two dvds with different versions, and the extras are a treat and there's a lot of them. the behind the scenes look at the movie is cool. plus there's a booklet. all dvd sets should be put together this well.

4.0 out of 5 stars super!, January 19, 2005

This review is from: Supergirl (Director's Cut) (DVD)

Once upon a time, classic comic books asked us to buy all types of astounding notions. Remember the idea that Superman could fool people into thinking he was a different person just by taking off his glasses? It was fun. Remember those moments in the Salkind's Superman movies when Superman's costume would just appear at will? Well the same thing happens in Supergirl. Approach this film as fun for your inner kid. The director's cut DVD is impressively stuffed with goodies. Lovers of classic comic books will enjoy it.

This review is from: Supergirl (Director's Cut) (DVD)

I agree with what J. Neto said in his review about Kryptonian technology. I couldn't have said it better myself. Many of the criticisms against Supergirl (how she knows of Earth, knows of Superman, speaks English, transforms her clothing) have already been featured in the previous Superman movies. If Jorel can program a Kryptonian space ship to teach baby Kalel Chinese philosophy and Einsteins theory of relativity thousands of years before Einstein (!)why can't his brother Zorel also have knowledge of Earth in Argo City? Superman often just transforms into his Superman duds in his movies (in the first Superman his clothes transform into his coustume as he's falling from a window with no explanation) so why can't Supergirl transform in the same manner especially with possible help of Kryptonian technology along the lines of the Omegahadron? It hardly seems fair to be overly critical of these types of things in Supergirl and not be critical of them in the Superman movies. As for the Phantom Zone: The evil Kryptonians of Superman II who came from the Phantom Zone would have recieved a huge amount of press and Superman was always providing info to the Daily Planet which was read by his enemies and used against him (it happens in Superman and Superman III for instance). Since Selena or one her cronies would know of the Phantom Zone from such a source there's no reason to be critical of that plot point either. These supposed errors aren't errors. I have the two dvd set of Supergirl and enjoy it. I love the film, the great extras, and Helen Slater is wonderful and beautiful too. This set is an excellent addition to my DVD collection.
