The new "Supergirl" film, released this week, has sparked mixed reviews as critics assess Milly Alcock's performance and the movie's plot.
Variety notes that dystopian superhero tale is praised for its sprightly spirit, while the Guardian calls it sparkling yet the Los Angeles Times condemns its terrestrial plot, and Disney’s own guide to summer blockbusters on Disney+ lists the film among the season’s streaming picks, acknowledging the rowdy spirit but faulting the weak plot that undermines its ambition, still overall.
