Do you remember 1984 s SuperGirl ? The movie starring Helen Slater and Faye Dunaway? Well,what I dont understand,
what went wrong with this movie....I kind of like it,it seemed that the producers wanted to do a very good movie...However I must say that although the story was confusing at first....
When we meet Supergirl she is not a baby but rather a teenager who inmidiatly becomes a woman after her journey to Earth...
Also other confusing aspects was the fact that she was never raised by human parents,like Clark Kent did....Clark was raised by Jonathan and Martha Kent,while SuperGirl arrived with full knowledge of Earth and her powers developed already...
Add the fact that she already was wearing the S shield,sure that she was Superman s cousin,but why was she wearing the costume?The special FX werent that bad,I must say that
SuperGirl is far superior than Superman IV ....
Sure,many people hated Selena the witch but at least she wasnt boring like Nuclear Man and Ross Webster....I think that Selena had an interesting idea of world domination.Also we saw
the Phantom Zone in this movie....I think that it wasnt that bad as much people say,it was a noble effort of adapting a
comic book character.Also Jerry Goldsmith s score was great,
the fliying sequences are even more believable than in
Superman IV,and we even got to see Jimmy Olsen,
a direct connection to the Superman Movie Series.
Selena was annoying,no doubt,but she was smarter than
Nuclear Man....Helen Slater was gorgeous,I think that
she might had been inspired by the late Christopher Reeve
because she acted really well.Too bad that after the end of the movie a sequel,SuperGirl 2 never made it....
However it is my understanding that the late Chris Reeve was going to have a cameo a Superman in this movie.
I believe that if he didnt wanted to appear as Superman,
they could had at least had him appear as Clark Kent!
So,any ideas as to why a sequel was never made??
I heard that a new SuperGirl film is in the works,but I would love to see a direct sequel....
Did you liked SuperGirl??
All best stuff is made in Japan....
