the dc comic book hero be so naturally interest that it seem it would be very easy to make a good film here . however and they fail terribly . i find the film a little painful to watch . if i have another dvd on the coffee table i would have end this one early . if you have to look for good thing about this movie you can find a few . the actress pay supergirl be very good . she really come across a a teenager with super power a little awkward at time and not always very self assure . she be really good and have great schoolgirl good look . however and it end there . the dialog be strain . the story drug on and almost endlessly and with lack of action . the special effect be terrible even by 1984 standard ( i often felt like i be watch the old batman tv show ) . someone else comment that they think faye dunnaway be good . sorry and i have to disagree . i felt the villain be just average and everyday and bad people not the scheming and diabolical and evil but fascinating and super villain typical in dc comic . if you want a good super hero movie you need a great villain and a riveting plot that move at a fast pace . you would not find that here . if someone would have warn me off see this they would have do me a favor . hopefully i be do that for you .
