In the 80's, following the success of Superman, they tried to launch another super-hero franchise in the same spirit. It seemed a good idea but the movie was really lame and flopped terribly... The whole thing was just boring and cheesy. You may want to check this out, though, just to have a good laugh.
Description:After losing a powerful orb, Kara, Superman's cousin, comes to Earth to retrieve it and instead finds herself up against a wicked witch.

"Ms. Marvel vs Supergirl
A death match between Supergirl and Ms. Marvel would be interesting to see. Supergirl being a kryptonian and as the same abilities as Superman is defiantly one of the strongest women in the world. Ms. Marvel having alien Kree DNA in her body gives she possesses superhuman strength, endurance, stamina, flight, physical durability. She can control heat, electromagnetic and gravity. It would be a great battle to see."
"Screenplay is filled with witty lines and enjoyable characters, but Jeannot Szwarc's direction is rather flat.
- Variety
This is one comic-book feature that doesn't fly.
- Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Why even go to the trouble of making a movie that feels like it's laughing at itself?
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Miss Slater makes a four-square heroine of unrelenting sincerity; a sturdy ingenue, she is great fun to look at but hardly a live wire.
- Janet Maslin, New York Times"

"Christopher Reeve bowed out just before filming began. Superman's absence is explained early on by a radio broadcast that says he is in a far off galaxy, on a peace-seeking mission.
When Linda Lee and Lucy Lane first meet, Lucy is reading a comic book starring The Incredible Hulk, published by DC's rival, Marvel. Also ironic because The Incredible Hulk faced off against Superman in the 1996 Marvel vs. DC crossover."

"Not too super film about a pointless comic character. I have to admit that all the Superman films I've seen aren't really any better. Supergirl, just like Superman, is ridiculously strong, and it is so tedious to watch how the main character succeeds in everything without any actual troubles."
"Katsottu: 1.8.2012
Totaalisen tappotylsä, ylipitkä ja turha paskapökäle, jossa juonta ei ole ollenkaan. Kestoa sen sijaan on aivan vitusti, joka tekee tämän katsomisesta tuskallista, kun sitä sisältöä on turhan vähän. Supergirl saapuu maapallolle, koska joku superhyper-kristalli vahingossa tänne. Sehän tietysti joutuu heti pahoihin käsiin, josta ei voi seurata mitään hyvää. Lässytilässy ja oi voi voi. Kukaan ei muuten tunnista tätä tyttöä, jos hänen alteregollaan onkin "
