While America celebrates the red, white, and blue, the box office is embracing red, blue, and yellow — as Supergirl flies into theaters. The question is: does the latest DC adventure soar to the same heights as last year’s crowd-pleasing, “Superman”?
Audiences first met Kara Zor-El, better known as Supergirl, during the closing credits of “Superman”, when she abruptly arrives to pick up her beloved dog, Krypto. As we follow her journey, we discover a heroine who is still grappling with loneliness and emotional scars, finding solace in Krypto’s companionship while keeping the rest of the world at arm’s length. But when an unexpected enemy threatens her only companion, Kara is forced to team up with an unlikely ally on a quest fueled by vengeance. Read full review here.
James Gunn tries his hand at a new Superman movie, and because of my love for the filmmaker, I went into this film cautiously optimistic, even though there hasn’t been a good Superman adaption since Smallville, no offense to Henry Cavill who did an amazing job with what he had to work with. And as I have said many times before, audiences are experiencing superhero fatigue, but I am happy to say this film blew me away. Gunn has revitalized the genre, especially for DC, and given us a Superman we can truly look up to.
Luckily for everyone, this is not an origin story. The film begins with him as an established superhero in Metropolis for 3 years, while, as many of us know, also working at the Daily Planet as Clark Kent. He is already dating Lois Lane and Lex Luthor is on a mission to destroy him. This is not a retelling of what we have seen a hundred times before, instead this story addresses real world issues, struggling with your identity and acceptance in world you’re not from, and, showing a vulnerable and humorous side to the man of steel, we haven’t seen before.
