Customer Reviews

Camp as Butlins and a great soundtrack to boot!
This movie is definitely one of my favorites of all time! Helen Slater is gorgeous as the titular superheroine - a great role model for a girl to have. Faye Dunaway chews the scenery as the gloriously camp Selena and thespian Peter O'Toole brings a touch of sophistication as Zaltar. The soundtrack to this movie is FANTASTIC - Jerry Goldsmith is a G-d and his CV has to be seen to be believed. I would recommend the Supergirl CD to any classical music lovers out there. My favourite scene is when Supergirl is flying over Chicago looking for the Omegahedron - the beautiful aerial scenery is just breathtaking, and paired with Goldsmith's score is nothing short of beautiful. Coming is a close second is the 'aerial ballet' scene where Supergirl lands on Earth and discovers her powers. Supergirl's transformation to her alter ego Linda Lee is amazing - much more effective than putting on a pair of glasses and slicking your hair back, like her cousin Superman. For a long time I thought they were played by 2 different actresses! (Well, I was only 5!) Unfortunately the special effects leave much to be desired, but it WAS the '80's I suppose. If you're willing to suspend your disbelief slightly then you will enjoy this movie as much as I do. The one scene I hate is when Supergirl meets two would be rapists. She soon has them lying in a crumpled heap on the floor, but it has a dark and disturbing tone that is out of joint and unsettling. In conclusion, this movie is brilliant and I love it!

Supergirl [DVD] [1984] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

I am a great lover of all comic films, this is a real
favourite of mine, but the Reigon 1 DVD has much more
to offer, the extended version has an extra 15 mins.
So if you like nostalga you will love this.
