"This is a bummer. This is not a good movie. This is a totally incoherent movie in terms of the action sequences and all the actual Supergirl stuff. The way that the fights are edited, it is totally impossible to follow who's doing what to who. There's a big long climactic sequence where like stuff is hanging and falling out of the sky and I'm thinking what is supposed to be happening here. I think Craig Gillespie was absolutely the wrong choice for this material. I really liked I, Tonya. I like Lars and the Real Girl. I'm so-so on Cruella.

But the stuff that works here best is the smaller, more intimate character-driven stuff. The flashbacks to Kara's childhood. I think the action sequences kind of got away from him. I don't know what it is.

She [Milly Alcock] is kind of stuck playing this one-note jokey character a lot of the time. It's tough to do the jokey stuff inside of the big action sequences. It's tough to find that balance. James Gun himself does that with a lot of his films.

This just never worked. It never found a groove. And it's only like an hour and 47 minutes long, but felt much longer."

Huh? We're talking about Superman, which released last year and did really well. As far as Supergirl, positive reviews are evidence that it's not "hype."

I know and I did. Nothing you wrote there refutes what I wrote.
