Warner Bros Pictures releases Supergirl, a PG-13 space adventure starring Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El directed by Craig Gillespie.The film follows Kara as she fights to save her dog Krypto from a poisoning plot by Krem, played by Matthias Schoenaerts, and intersects with Ruthye, played by Eve Ridley, who seeks revenge after her parents are killed.Jason Momoa appears as Lobo and David Corenswet shows up in flashbacks and a closing scene, but critics say the movie underuses Krypto and leans on derivative plot elements while including a controversial sexual-slavery subplot.Reviewers praise
Milly Alcock's performance and
Claudia Sarne's score but fault uneven tone, weak villain development and production choices, and mixed press reactions leave sequel prospects uncertain.
