Critic Reviews
Supergirl Review: Milly Alcock Soars While the Script Stalls
★★★☆☆
Milly Alcock's fierce Kara Zor-El and Jason Momoa's scene-stealing Lobo lift a DCU entry that critics find uneven but audiences largely embrace.
Worth seeing for Alcock and Momoa — just manage blockbuster expectations.
