THE FIRST REACTIONS FOR "SUPERGIRL" ARE IN | Film Threat News

[00:00:05]the early reactions to Supergirl.

[00:00:09]Uh they're they're crazy. Allan, >> I've got I've got notes for this. Uh there have been the Hollywood Reporter, Variety, they've all got stories. Um I think you can pull Let's go right to the quotes. What are people saying? I'll put this up on screen here for you. Okay.

[00:00:27]But um get to the quotes from this.

[00:00:32]>> You've got them.

[00:00:33]>> I know. First reactions uh for Supergirl praising leading star uh Millie Alco and the movie from for shifting James Gun ZC World into Mad Max territory.

[00:00:46]It isn't a classic, but it's fun and hits most of the targets it aims for.

[00:00:50]Millie Alco is great as the titular heroine and Mimoa's Lobo is a blast, which means it's a cameo. Uh, other big wins are the action, humor, and when it leans into physical production.

[00:01:04]Another journalist said the movie looks and plays like a Mad Max movie with dirty words, gross villains, and a self-destructive hero. Well, the dirty worlds. We've seen that in the trailer.

[00:01:16]Oh, here we go. Supergirl is not at all what I was expecting. I too assumed superhero space movie with needle drops would have a similar tone to Guardians of the Galaxy or even Superman. Instead, it looks and plays more like a Mad Max movie with dirty worlds, gross villains, and a self-destructive hero. From Gizmodo, Supergirl is highly enjoyable. It doesn't quite have the menace or the resonance of Superman, but it acts as both a perfect companion and followup to that movie with better characters and more complex relationships. It's also incredibly emotional, which makes the action even harder.

[00:01:57]>> I believe I believe that companion Hold on. No, I believe it's a perfect companion to the current Superman movie.

[00:02:03]>> Yeah. Okay. Do you want to read Denovgeeek?

[00:02:06]>> Supergirl is the superhero movie I've missed. A straightforward, poignant story with a lot of emotion, especially when we see Cara through the through little Ruthie's eyes. Luckily, that's every action scene. Millie Alak absolutely owns the role and will change our idea of Supergirl forever.

[00:02:27]>> From the Mary Sue, who got to see it very early, >> Supergirl is everything I wanted it to be. Girls can be messy and that rules.

[00:02:37]Cara isn't her cousin. And I really loved how this movie makes that clear.

[00:02:42]She's a different kind of hero and perfect in every way. She's a perfect woman.

[00:02:47]>> By the way, isn't it interesting that the Mary Sue got to see this early?

[00:02:52]>> Uh why don't you read? Will we ping pong read this one?

[00:02:55]>> Express Supergirl is a solid follow-up to last summer's Superman. More serious and emotional, heavier in tone. It delivers a cool intergalactic road trip that evokes uh evokes Guardians of the Galaxy with a dash of MadMax Fury Road and a bit of Thor: The Dark World.

[00:03:13]Millie Alco is total badass, delivering a performance as both fierce and vulnerable as Carzorel. Can't wait to see her in future interactions with her cousin and other heroes in the DCU. Keep them coming from that Hollywood show.

[00:03:33]Supergirl soarses. Millie Alcock is the perfect Cara. This film is filled with gorgeous set pieces and dazzling action sequences. Mamoa is a Lobo, but I wanted more of him. The scenes with Clark are priceless. Third act is effing fun. The future is bright with this Supergirl.

[00:03:55]The AU review. Uh, Supergirl channels the energy of gun Superman while carving out its own identity. Surprisingly dark themes, Mad Max vibes, and a John Wick style motivation drives the story.

[00:04:10]Millie Alco shines. Jason Momo brings his trademark chaotic charm. From the direct, Millie Alco is a Kryptonian powerhouse and the perfect Cara Zorel.

[00:04:23]The film has a strong heart giving an interesting and complex character journey for Cara. Jason Mimoa is clearly born to play Lobo and the DCU is only better with those two now in it.

[00:04:37]>> And disgusting films, I mean disgusting films. Uh Millie Alox steps into the role of # Supergirl wonderfully and it's refreshing to root for a heroine with a unique hard edge. Unfortunately, the film takes her uh the film around her takes far too long to step into gear and never quite matches her energy. Uh oh.

[00:05:02]Geeks of color.

[00:05:05]That's the outlet says Supergirl is the best blockbuster of the summer. Terrific action, but what sells it is the heart and the characters. Millie Alco is a force to be reckoned with. Eve Ridley is also incredible. And Jason Maboa is a pitch perfect as Lo Lobo.

[00:05:26]One of the best DCU films.

[00:05:27]>> The two leads are white, right? So why is Geeks of Color praising this movie?

[00:05:34]Uh, who let us out? Supergirl starts off as a slow burn, but once it >> stop for a second, who the f are these outlets? No, exactly.

[00:05:43]>> Like get access early earlier than >> we're seeing Supergirl on Monday, but mama's geeky. Who let us out? Uh I I >> the Mary That's what I'm saying. The Mary Sue. Imagine Imagine them getting early access.

[00:05:59]>> What the hell?

[00:06:02]Okay, continue, Alan.

[00:06:04]>> All right. Who Who let us out? The great uh the great publication Supergirl starts off as a slowb burn.

[00:06:13]>> Who let us out with decades of covering film. Who doesn't remember who Let Us Out's best stories that went. Sorry, Alan.

[00:06:24]>> I know. Second only to Mama's Geeky. Uh, Billy Aluck is incredibly relatable, bringing heart, vulnerability, and strength to Cara's journey of embracing her imperfections and discovers their power within. The film balances emotional character growth with some truly epic action scenes, while Jason Mamoa's Lobo is an absolute ste scene stealer, uh, who was born to play this role. I think they just grabbed their Marvel's review >> and just kind of replaced things.

[00:06:56]>> Yeah. None of this is really original and it's all over praising. Mama's Geeky. Unfortunately, Supergirl is a mixed bag FOR ME. OH.

[00:07:05]>> UHOH.

[00:07:06]>> Mama's Geeky. You've got a new follower.

[00:07:08]>> Someone's dropping some truth bombs here.

[00:07:11]>> Half of them at least.

[00:07:12]>> Yeah. Uh, unfortunately, Supergirl is a mixed bag for me. As a fan of the comic, I was perhaps overly excited for the film adaptation. While Jason Mamoa's Lobo and Millie Alco shine, some adaptation choices and a bland villain keep it from greatness. It's simply put just fine.

[00:07:34]>> All right, Chris, let me ask you this.

[00:07:37]Why don't we get invited to premiieres?

[00:07:40]>> Oh, I know. Oh, I know. We're not uh we're not geeks of color, I guess, or >> Well, no, we're not shills for the we're not shills because uh you know, it's clear that that Warner Brothers knows who uh who will like a movie and who won't.

[00:08:10]My experience.
