	Movies - Supergirl

Supergirl was a 1984 film, starring Helen Slater in her first motion picture role in the title role of the DC Comics superheroine Supergirl. It was a spin-off from the popular 1978 movie Superman, with Marc McClure reprising his role as Jimmy Olsen. The movie performed poorly at the box office, and failed to impress critics or audiences. In fact, Peter O'Toole received a Golden Raspberry Award nomination for Worst Actor for his performance. It does, however, contain some fascinating expansions on the Superman movie mythology, such as taking us into the Phantom Zone itself (in the first two films, it was merely represented by the infamous spinning black pane of glass), the special effects were a distinct improvement, and using sorcery (a noted Superman weakness, but less favoured over Kryptonite) as a counter attack on Supergirl to great effect.
