Finally, we have another Supergirl movie after so many years. Over the past few years, we’ve
gotten several Superman stories—and not that I was complaining—but it feels refreshing to
finally have a movie centered on Kara again.
This film is about a woman who is capable of being a superhero despite her painful past. It’s
about being good while also being strong, tough, and carrying loneliness deep inside. It’s about
trying to save the people you love while dealing with your own brokenness. It’s about helping
others even when you need help yourself.
What I loved most about this movie is that you can truly feel Kara’s sadness and loneliness. One
of the lines that stood out to me was when she said, “Superman sees the good in people, and I see
the truth.” There’s nothing wrong with seeing the good in others, but it’s also important to see the
truth, even when it isn’t beautiful or comforting. I think the movie handled that idea very well.
For the first time in a long while, it feels like we really get to understand what Kara is feeling.
It’s reassuring to see that even superheroes can feel sad, lonely, and lost despite all their power. It
reminds us that feeling those emotions doesn’t make us weak. Everything we feel is real, and it’s
okay to feel it. We will be okay.
I also liked how the story conveyed her emotions. It was simple, clear, and easy to understand
without feeling shallow. The film didn’t need to overcomplicate things to make its message
powerful.
Milly Alcock is perfectly cast as Supergirl. Her expressions alone convey Kara’s loneliness,
sadness, and vulnerability. At the same time, you can clearly see her love for Krypto throughout
the film.
One small detail I kept thinking about was from the last Superman movie, when Krypto was
almost sucked into the black hole. It made me wonder what Kara might have done if Superman
hadn’t managed to save him. It’s just a tiny connection I made between the cousins, but it made
their relationship feel even more meaningful to me.
Overall, I really enjoyed the movie. The soundtrack was good, the visuals were colorful and
charming, and the cast fit their characters well. More importantly, the film gave us a version of
Supergirl that feels deeply human—strong yet vulnerable, heroic yet lonely. And that’s exactly
why her story resonated with me.
