    Helen Slater takes on the familar suit, and although can do everything her cousin can do, chooses (wisely) to play Supergirl with style, grace and elegance. The Directors cut, completes this film, much better than its initial film release. Faye Dunaway, camps it up, with great results, as Supergirl's arch rival, Selena, but by the film end, the show belongs to Slater. Great cast, Great fun.

    Look at all the original superman movies! They were all pretty lame. We loved them because they had superman!!!! the only reason people are being so harsh is because this time--it's a super GIRL!
