The reviews are in for Supergirl, and the new film is the first DCU movie to get a rotten score on Rotten Tomatoes.
That's a feat that took the MCU 13 years and 26 movies: it wasn't until 2021's Eternals that the Rotten Tomatoes score dipped below fresh.
Supergirl currently stands at a rotten score of 57% with 151 reviews. That might change if more reviews come in, of course, but it seems unlikely to cross the 60% fresh threshold, since most reviews are likely live by now (Supergirl previously moved up to a fresh score after debuting in the rotten zone, but dipped back down soon after).
Our own Supergirl review awards the movie 3.5 stars, and our verdict reads: "Superman's messier younger cousin in every way, Supergirl earns its Guardians of the Galaxy and Mad Max comparisons with a surprisingly dark (and sometimes downright gross) space adventure about revenge and finding your home."
Supergirl is only the second DCU movie, so this is an unfortunate milestone to hit so early. Superman stands at a healthier 83%, while Creature Commandos is at 95%, and Peacemaker season 2 is at 94%.
The film stars Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, who teams up with youngster Ruthye on a quest to save her dog Krypto after he is poisoned by the sadistic brigand Krem.
But, the future still looks bright for Kara. She's confirmed to appear in Man of Tomorrow, a sort-of-sequel to Superman, and she has another confirmed appearance after that, too.
"So we have Man of Tomorrow, and we already know what the next movie's going to be after that, and she's a big part of that," executive producer Lars P. Winther shared recently.
Supergirl is in UK cinemas now and US theaters from June 26. For more, check out our guide on how to watch the DC movies in order.
