I always pay attention to freeper recommendations, especially those that run against the groupthink that seems to kick in almost immediately on FR. Contrarians unite!
My resolution a few years ago was not to dump on something unless I had seen it. Supergirl was not on my list simply because I’ve never had a thing for flying spandex movies. But I also don’t dump on other peoples’ genre preferences.
I’ll keep an open mind and may watch more reviews and clips. It could turn into one of those movies I end up watching just to see what the fuss is about.
I have seen a couple of clips in which the actress comes across badly, and in ways that might hint of a bit too much bubbly in the greenroom before she hit the red carpet. I can overlook some stumbles in that department, as I only quit drinking myself 36 years ago and can still remember ... oh, never mind. I was young and stupid once myself. If she has a problem in that area, the studio needs to get a couple of handlers on her before they do any more publicity. And maybe nudge her towards dealing with it the right way.
If it weren’t for my three sons all into super hero movies and comics (two are grown the youngest a teen), I’d not care to go see any. Not my genre. I’m actually very picky. Was expecting leftist overload like Captain Marvel. It wasn’t and we had a good time.
by the way, Supergirl def has a drinking problem in the move. She’s super not perfect and problematic. Also, this actress looks so much like country singer Leaan Rimes, it’s uncanny.
Gal Gadot had the right figure to be Wonder Woman and that's a huge reason why that movie was a success.
