A recent movie review of the new Supergirl film has been released, discussing the movie’s take on the classic character. The reviewer enjoyed the way the story was told, from the visuals to the flashback moments, and especially the messages that the character represented.
Character Development
The movie gives viewers a deeper look into Supergirl’s past and why she struggles so much with becoming a hero. It is easy to compare her to Superman, but they are telling two different stories. The Supergirl movie shows the character’s ability to work through her trauma and be aggressive as Superman.
A major theme in the movie is remembering to be good. It is something that Supergirl lives with after the death of her mother, and while most would see it as just being kind, the movie gives it more meaning. Throughout the movie, Supergirl begins to realize that being good does not mean being like her cousin, but rather giving herself enough space to grow and be a version of herself capable of doing good on her own terms.
