Supergirl film draws criticism for uneven tone and CGI

The new DC Extended Universe movie "Supergirl" starring Milly Alcock as Kara Zor‑El has been met with largely negative reviews. Critics note that the film tries to set a light, irreverent tone but ends up feeling derivative and disjointed. The CGI rendering of Krypto the Superdog is described as unnatural, detracting from emotional scenes, while the villain Krem and supporting characters are seen as bland.

Reviewers also point to a muddled plot involving teenage avenger Ruthye (Eve Ridley) and the film’s attempt to balance revenge themes with superhero action. Cameos such as Jason Momoa’s Lobo receive some praise, but overall the movie is called one of the weaker big‑budget releases of the summer. It is rated PG‑13 for violence, language and smoking, runs 107 minutes, and appears unlikely to secure a standalone sequel.

The criticism suggests the film may only survive as a supporting entry in future Superman or Justice League projects.
