A little bit of (rare) background on The Curmudgeon. I collect comic book movies/tv shows. Absolutley anything comic book/superhero related - I want it. Ranging from Spider-Man (new and 70's) to the Phantom to the 1943 Batman TV serial to The Pointless Adventures Of Lois and Clark.
This, you would rightly assume, would mean I have some RIGHT crapola in my collection. And hoo boy, are there some stinkers - Catwoman, Howard The Duck, Justice League pilot (even if they're unofficial I must still have them).
And you know what? This is the worst of the lot.
Not that Supergirl doesn't look very nice in her little outfit, but even that can't save this abomonation, quite simply one of the worst movies I've ever seen. From the bafflingly inept storyline, dire acting and effects, not to mention totally nonsensical moments (Kara or Linda Lee, whatever) gets transported to Earth in a space bubble thing wearing a silvery gown.. she bursts out of the bubble... in her Supergirl outfit?! Huh? Why? What for?
Just one of the utterly surreal things that happen in this movie (and poor Peter Cook just looks humilated being in it). When the best thing you can say about any movie is the guy who plays Jimmy Olsen in the Superman movies is in it.. woah, you KNOW there's something wrong.
I know what you're thinking; "ah.. it can't be THAT bad". Don't be tempted. You may have vague memories of this from childhood and want to see it again - DON'T waste your money. It's REALLY bad, not in a "ho ho, this is terrible" way, but in a "gahh, I want to claw my brain out" way of dire. Run away - far away.
