Film critics have posted their early reactions to the upcoming DC Studios movie Supergirl on social media. The Craig Gillespie-directed film stars Milly Alcock in the title role and opens in theaters on June 26. Reactions describe a mix of praise for the lead performances and some criticism of the story choices.
Chris Killian of ComicBook.com called the film a blend of Guardians of the Galaxy, True Grit, and Mad Max. He praised Alcock's handling of Kara's backstory and said Jason Momoa appears to be enjoying his role as Lobo. Killian also highlighted David Corenswet's return as Superman, noting that every appearance brings a smile.
Tessa Smith described the movie as a mixed bag. She said some adaptation decisions and a bland villain prevent it from reaching greatness, though she found Momoa and Alcock strong.
Other critics offered similar takes. Erik Davis compared the tone to Guardians of the Galaxy and Mad Max while noting Alcock adds emotional depth. Germain Lussier called it highly enjoyable but less resonant than the prior Superman film. Fay Watson said it delivers humor and heart with Mad Max vibes.
