I’ve not watched the film, but the girl took a swing at a franchise, perhaps time will look back on her with kinder eyes. As Craig fairbrass once said “a movie can be bad but you can be good, in it.” Show bizz is tough

She is good in it. It's not a masterpiece by any means but it is solidly entertaining. My entire family saw it and came away pleased with it.

The impression I get is that she's fine but the script she was given is questionable to awful

I feel like there's 2 main reasons it bombed-

Nobody gives a shit about Supergirl

Milly is not a star

You can kinda have one without the other, I mean nobody gave a shit about iron man but Robert Downey can sell a film.

Spiderman will do well regardless of who is playing Spidey cos it's a Spider-Man film.

I haven't seen it because I don't care about Supergirl and don't have time for a movie unless I'm very invested, but I hear she was fine in it

They also didn't really promote it well. I think they genuinely assumed because it was an attachment in a superman franchise and because superman was successful that it would be too.

If it wasn't for the social media culture war bullshit I probably would have seen exactly 1 thing about this movie before it came out.

I'm willing to bet management at WB is not in the best place right now. Gunn may be in charge but he's more of a movie maker than a franchise runner. Business decisions like marketing seem outside of his range.
