Milly Alcock praised in Supergirl reviews
Early reviews of Craig Gillespie's Supergirl (2026) single out Milly Alcock's portrayal of Kara Zor-El as the film's emotional and dramatic anchor. Critics praise Alcock's performance while criticizing the movie's uneven pacing, muddy action sequences, and a thin, underwritten main villain that weakens the narrative. Jason Momoa's Lobo and the film's cosmic visuals receive occasional praise, but reviewers say Alcock's work is the clear standout and the main reason the film matters for the DCU moving forward.
SUPERGIRL is good. I wish it were great, especially after SUPERMAN, but muddy action and some surprising sexist bs hold it back. Did I still cry? For sure. Am I so glad she’s here? Yup. Am I ready to watch it again? Immediately. www.thewrap.com/creative-con...
Cat Grant did NOT deliver her “I’m a girl, and your boss, and hot” monologue for us to still be having the “…just girl?” conversation in THE YEAR OF OUR LADY 2026. And in a SUPERGIRL MOVIE.
Seeing it Saturday with tempered expectations. I know Alcock will be great and I am sure it will be a good theatrical experience since I am seeing it in IMAX.
I'm actually considering,...considering mind you, going to a theatre with people in it, to see this. First time since Captain Marvel that there was some excitement about seeing a movie.
What did Milly Alcock do that the alt-right chuds are so invested in Supergirl failing.
Be a woman. Probably also the film's concept of Kara being a trainwreck party girl instead of a fan service tradwife.
be extremely pretty, but not in the exact way they want her to be
Nothing, these engagement channels needed fresh outrage engagement to keep chuds mad and tuned in.
