Helen Slater as Supergirl was my first crush!! thanks for the nostalgia

[@JessicaChastainFan]

Supergirl is just an underrated gem. It even shows the gentleness of a superhero not seen in anything these days. There's a scene where Kara lovingly says good morning to a bunny. It's so feel-good, and moments like that feel genuine and real.

[@seansyphers244]

That “air ballet” scene where she’s jumping off the rocks and flying past the trees was AMAZINGLY well done for its time! 🤩😍 There was zero CGI used back then, and there were actual wires holding her up in place, but you couldn’t even see them! 😃 It looked so damn REAL, and they did such a great job with that whole sequence! 👍👍👏👏

[@normadgarmez7026]

Nothing like whimsical moments for the strong independent young lady, Supergirl.

[@philrob1978]

Helen Slater gives it her all, great supporting actors - unfortunately the screenplay is rushed and the plot is almost none existent. I don't hate it, but it's a bit of a missed opportunity. Still though, was a very pleasant watch back then. And that score bangs to this day - but then Jerry was very good at lifting a somewhat mediocre movie with a memorable score. :)

[@sandrahart6195]

...to put it in an artistically talented way!

I absolutely loved the movie. I know it could have been better a lot better but that's what we got and I can still look back and still enjoy it.

Great score. Film's plot had problems but better than most people give it credit for. Helen Slater was perfect.

[@johnsplayworld2402]

Yes although some scenes in the movie made no sense Helen slater is the perfect girl of steel

[@normadgarmez7026]

The studio cast the right actress for Supergirl. She can be strong, brave and powerful while being serene, kind, and nice.

[@ChadWalker-jx9jt]

I Seen The Movie And it's Great.

[@thefurrybastard1964]

I tend to agree with you. But personally, I'd have introduced Helen Slater's Supergirl as the storyline in a Christopher Reeve Superman movie. Partially because I think they would have had an amazing on screen presence together.

[@dylanmorgan2374]

This score was wayyy too epic and deserves so much more recognition that it got.

The Soundtrack is Totally Awesome

[@clarky23]

Goldsmith is IMO going to get lost in time as one of the better composures in history.

That movie is awful! I just don't understand why I still shelled out $15 for it at Walmart!

[@mikeshirleyforever]

Helen was a wonderful Supergirl for what she had to work with. I've forgotten how amazing Jerry's theme for the film was.

[@dancastro6873]

[@lisamccabe3479]

[@robertthomas5736]

Incredible Cast Crew ,and Song

[@nadejenks]

One of my top five all time favourite pieces of music probably number two to the 1978 Christopher Reeves' 1978 Superman Theme by the brilliant one and only John Williams.I can't get enough of this video. To me Helen Slater as a kid growing up in the 80's ; she's the best supergirl there is. She is elegant, yet so strong,and moving especially when her friend Louis Lanes' sister has a poster of Superman in her room and Supergirls alter ego looking sweet in her dark haired wig, and uniform, sees a poster of her cousin Superman on the wall.It's a beautiful scene and the films' music enhances it and makes it a very touching scene indeed!🥰My younger sister loved supergirl aa a kid and Farrah Fawsett was the evil but brilliant villian and supergirlss' enemy.I remember having a crush back then on gorgous Ethan.Their kissing scene should have been longer😂There's some brilliant scenes, especially with the late Peter O' Toole, but think the plot scenes could have been better and with a different theme.It's a Shane as somebody mentioned recently, that we never saw Superman and Supergirl as in epic Christopher Reeve and Helen Slater; in a movie together. That could have had load's of potential and I think fans would have loved it!!!

[@davidmarsden1059]

A underrated screen gem and the best main theme by Jerry Goldsmith for a superman or superwoman movie.

[@davidsmith7962]

Loved this movie. Wished there was a sequel

[@pferreira1983]

Still remains the best depiction of Supergirl.

[@munozali1]

Goldsmith is one of my all time favorites.

[@allandavid5460]

Congratulations Helen Slater. KEEP IT UP. God Bless You So Much. Congratulations For The New Album. Supergirl 1984.

[@chorlauheung4920]

The beautiful Helen Slater has eyes that show determination, but also captivate. She was the correct choice to portray "Supergirl."

[@dancastro4732]

She and Melissa Benoist embody the character well. Laura Vander Voort from Smallville was too angry and aggressive as Kara and lacked the humanity Helen Slater brought and now Melissa Benoist brings

[@ericmadsen7470]

To bad Christopher Reeve never made an appearance in the movie. Would that have made the movie better?

[@hottakestuesdays7450]

they should had her do a wonder woman movie instead. swop hair color, she is the perfect Diana as well. We could have had an early dc trinity. But she was perfect as supergirl.

[@pathbelow6652]

At least in the Helen Supergirl, the writers weren't trying to make a lesbian out of her. The Melissa Supergirl was all about women empowerment and lesbianism. Garbage.

[@chrais78]

What a legend Jerry Goldsmith is.

[@chrais78]

Knowing that Jerry Goldsmith was the first choice to score Superman the Movie, but couldn't due to a scheduling conflict, is it possible that this almost was Superman's theme?

[@JessicaChastainFan]

It was masterful seeing Helen Slater Supergirl back in The Flash, alongside her cousin Christopher Reeve Superman!!! I freaked the fuck out.

[@chorlauheung4920]

Though "Supergirl" did not have the same popularity as the "Superman" films, it did have seasoned-veteran actors. They included Peter O'Toole and Faye Dunaway. It had Jerry Goldsmith's iconic theme. And, of course, the beautiful Helen Slater starred as the super-strength heroine. Glad to see her in several television episodes of the CW's "Supergirl" series! Melissa Benoist, who, herself is gorgeous, can learn and benefit from Slater's experiences.

They got the colors of Supergirl's hair and costume in-line with (my memories at least) the '60s-era comic books. It's uncannily evocative.

[@zsoltkiss545]

[@s-sentialbizness7283]

Exactly ... it was spot on! Unlike the CW series costume that's all dark/black, and looks like it was handcrafted from alligator skin... 😕

[@normadgarmez7026]

Yep. The studios originally wanted to use the 80s SG costume which reminded me of a female Rambo. But glad they went with the timeless look of the 60s.

[@dancastro4732]

I wish we got one. Would've been cool seeing her encounter kryptonite and her antagonist could've been Brainiac and this time maybe Reeve would've said yes if the script had good writing but not the Brainiac idea from Superman 3. He kidnaps Superman and holds him prisoner while powerless under kryptonite and is just about to die when Kara saves him. Kinda like Pryor did in Superman 3 but different
