"Supergirl" hasn’t been attempted in a while...and rightly so in some ways because it has to get the tone right. With Milly Alcock, they have cast completely right but somehow the story doesn’t quite feel up to snuff and the villain a little too eccentric. There are moments when it really locks in like when Kara at one point jumps into orbit off a dying planet. Her devil may care attitude works well. The story is about helping Krypto so that does make sense. But the adjoining story of a little girl who needs help and the bad villain Krem (played by a well hidden Mathew Schoenaerts) doesn’t quite hit right.

The progression of DC superheroes depends usually on the aspect of perspective of what kind of persona it implies. "Blue Beetle", at least envisioned as he was in animated form, was more of a goofy, more Deadpool-spun (but PG rated) pop culture referencer who skewed a little younger but cooler. In reinventing the approach here, director Angel Manuel Soto has created a different universe but one that in and of itself has its own unique energy.

The rules of a comic book movie rule in the eyes of the beholder. Writer/Director James Gunn got to go in a different grid making "The Suicide Squad" but it feels more like his indie movies at times than "Guardians Of The Galaxy".
