Supergirl 4K 2026 Ultra HD 2160p

Unlike Superman, who was raised on Earth by loving and wise parents, his cousin Kara Zor-El was less fortunate. She spent the first 14 years of her life on a fragment of her home planet, Krypton, where the death of loved ones was a common occurrence.

User Review

The new chapter in James Gunn’s rebooted Detective Comics universe turned out to be downright weak, silly, and far too flashy. We really do miss Zack Snyder’s dark style—oh, how we miss it. After making a brief appearance in the finale of *Superman*, Kara introduces us to her story, in which—with powers that depend on the sun’s color and radiation—a teenage girl lives her life just like any other teenager. Where’s the origin story? Where’s the connection to Clark?

Silly dance scenes, alcohol, and an emotionless Millie Alcock are meant to pass this off to the audience as a summer superhero blockbuster. Director Craig Gillespie knows how to work with female characters. His credits include *I, Tonya*, *Cruella*, and the semi-intimate drama *Lars and the Real Girl*; it’s just that the superhero project didn’t quite work out this time.

Chronologically, the film doesn’t fit into the overall rhythm of the Cinematic Universe (although James Gunn includes both the studio’s previous strategic project and animated series in that framework). As a result, viewers frankly don’t care what time period “Supergirl” is set in. To provide some resistance, the show introduces a gang of smugglers led by the bloodthirsty Krem (anti-tanning), who is at times quite brutal and at other times simply serves the plot. Krypto the dog is already traveling everywhere with Kara, helping his owner. This means the action takes place after Clark’s adventures, which is why it made no sense to link the two shows.

Kara’s solo adventure doesn’t provide the necessary information—in the easiest way possible for the screenwriters—until about halfway through the runtime (why the director squeezes in a detail crucial to the exposition an hour into the story remains a mystery). For even a modicum of action and fights, a victim is needed. She is introduced to us as the orphan Ruth. This is where the childlike, cheerful tone kicks in, so don’t expect any darkness. The Supergirl story transforms into the adventures of girls who get into trouble. The exploration of space, various planets, and their societies immediately brings to mind James Gunn’s *Guardians of the Galaxy*.

The writers add drama involving Krypto and showcase Kara’s values and character through her self-sacrifice. The girl channels John Wick and goes on the hunt, but even the action scenes start to feel tedious. It’s nice that Kara’s powers vary from planet to planet—weaker in some places, stronger in others—thus dispelling the “Clark the Earthling” paradox, but the villain Krem isn’t so simple. Actor Matthias Schoenaerts brilliantly brings the character to life, but the role isn’t on his level. It’s just that Matthias doesn’t know what to do with Krem. He seems like a killer, but at the most crucial moment he freezes up; he seems like a bandit, yet at times he shows a streak of humanity.

The fights are lackluster, and Kara’s main action sequences don’t really kick in until the third act. And who are viewers supposed to root for? The dog? Ruth? There are no emotions, even though the film tries with all its might to squeeze some out. The only thing saving this drunken circus is Lobo, brilliantly portrayed by Jason Momoa. But a bounty hunter can’t “carry the whole show” in a solo *Supergirl* project. So even the ruthless Lobo falls victim to the childish tone and the characters’ stupidity. He adapted, so to speak.

The movie fails to engage on any level whatsoever. The viewer couldn’t care less about Kara and Krem’s conflict or any of the destruction. Of course, we were given more villainous schemes than might appear at first glance: the kidnapping of girls to develop a new race. It has a hint of Wes Craven’s *The Hills Have Eyes*. But the writers overlook this detail. They needed an excuse to give Kara and Ruth more trouble to pad out the runtime, but in reality, the plotline leads nowhere. The fights, of course, try to grab your attention, but there aren’t enough of them, and they don’t fully showcase Kara’s abilities.

In terms of character development and introducing Supergirl, the film falls short. She’s a silly teenage girl with a loneliness complex and bad habits. Why she’s in the cinematic universe remains to be seen. But the film is largely pointless; it doesn’t bring any cohesion to the franchise. What’s next for Gunn? The TV series *Lanterns* and *Clayface*. I hope the studio starts to extricate itself from this childish quagmire, since there’s a lack of darkness and brutality.
