- Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: While not a full-on disaster, Supergirl does not continue the momentum that Superman started. With a story that’s more concerned with showing audiences death scenes than a hero saving people, the film doesn’t seem to understand the appeal of a character like Supergirl or how to make her someone audiences will return to over and over again.

- Excerpt: SUPERGIRL could have spent less time building up to Kara’s first steps on the road to redemption, despite the guilty pleasure of watching Alcock imbue even toothbrushing with a sense of wayward aggravation. Never mind. The narrative sweeps you along and there is just enough of dimply Superman to provide a nerdy tonic to Kara’s, and the film’s, darkness.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Milly Alcock…is just right as Kara Zor-El with her blue eyes, tousled blond hair and no make-up look going hand-in-hand with her flippant demeanor…but this patched together tale begins to sag well before its umpteenth brawl.
- [New] | Jason Flatt @ But Why Tho
- Excerpt: Supergirl could be much worse; Milly Alcock single-handedly ensures that it isn’t, but it deserves to be much better, too.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: It flies, but never really takes off.
- Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: There are so many stories about sons born into privilege who waste their youth on pleasures and have to grow up, however belatedly, to be worthy of their family legacies. How many such stories are there about daughters?
- Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Although Milly Alcock remains inspired casting as Kara Zor-El, ‘Supergirl’ leans too heavily on worn-down sci-fi and superhero tropes to fully capitalize on its strongest asset. Director Craig Gillespie and DCU architect James Gunn have crafted a perfectly serviceable cosmic adventure about purpose and belonging, but one that repeatedly pulls focus from its most compelling character, leaving the DCU’s sophomore feature feeling more like a detour than a destination.
- Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Supergirl is fine, but considering how memorable “Superman” was last year, it made sense to expect something more from the latest film in this new DC universe.
