Den of Geek’s David Crow described it as “the superhero movie I’ve missed: a straightforward, poignant story with lots of emotion.” He further stated that “Milly Alcock absolutely owns the role and will change our idea of Supergirl forever.”

Still, not every reaction was overwhelmingly positive about the project. Mama’s Geeky’s Tessa Smith labeled Supergirl “a mixed bag,” explaining that “some adaptation choices and a bland villain keep it from greatness.”
DCU Brief similarly noted the “villain being simpler, and scale being smaller but sharper.” They nonetheless called the film “bold, fresh and lively” with “stylish needledrops and hyperfast action.”
Alcock will next return in James Gunn’s Man of Tomorrow, currently in production. HBO’s Lanterns premieres on August 16, followed by Clayface on October 23.
