Check out Supergirl ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb, Metacritic and Letterboxd, plus its average score.
Nearly one year after James Gunn’s Superman launched the rebooted DC Universe, Supergirl has flown into theaters around the world. Milly Alcock stars as Kara Zor-El in the big-budget comic book movie, alongside Jason Mamoa as Lobo and Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll. Director Craig Gillespie has plenty of experience with woman-led blockbusters, from franchise fare like 2021’s Cruella to the Oscar-winning I, Tonya in 2017. So did the film soar to new heights or crash down to Earth? Here’s how Supergirl is scoring on Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb, Metacritic, Letterboxd, and more.
| Rating Source | Score |
| Rotten Tomatoes Critics | 57% |
| Rotten Tomatoes Users | 77% |
| IMDb | 6.0/10 |
| Metacritic Critics | 50/100 |
| Letterboxd | 3.1/5 |
After converting Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb, Metacritic, and Letterboxd scores to a 100-point scale, Supergirl currently holds an average rating of 61.2/100 across major review platforms. Even accounting for the typical gap between critics’ and general audiences’ scores, there seems to be a pretty steady consensus that Supergirl is mediocre. Compared to Superman’s 64.8/100 average aggregated score from last summer, this marks a step back for the DC Universe.
The average rating was calculated by converting all available scores to a 100-point scale and averaging the results.
Rolling Stone’s David Fear leaned positive on Supergirl, writing that “this movie proves that you can take something that might seem esoteric or strictly-for-the-heads and make mass entertainment out of it without selling out completely.” The New York Times’ Manohla Dargis also lent faint praise by saying, “The strain shows in different ways in Supergirl, which is derivative if altogether watchable, largely on account of its star.” The Detroit News’ Adam Graham, on the other hand, wrote that “It’s a super disappointment.” One major negative review came from Variety’s Owen Gleiberman, who said Gunn has “given us a comic-book movie with the worst script I can remember,” referencing Ana Nogueira’s screenplay. Rotten Tomatoes critics have Supergirl sitting at 57% on the Tomatometer, which is just narrowly in the rotten bucket, while the user-generated Popcornmeter sits at 77%. Its 50% score on Metacritic is labeled as “Mixed or Average.”
Fair or not, Supergirl was always going to get compared to other superheroine movies like Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel. The former was a near-universal critic-pleaser back in 2017, while the latter grossed over $1 billion in 2019. Supergirl has the same Metacritic score as 2023’s The Marvels, a sequel that made roughly 18% of what its predecessor did at the global box office. The Milly Alcock vehicle is not getting as many positive reviews as Superman, nor is it garnering the critical praise that even The Flash or Blue Beetle received in 2023. At the same time, Supergirl is far closer to a fresh Rotten Tomatoes rating than some of the final entries in the previous rendition of the DC Universe – Joker: Folie à Deux (31%), Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (33%), and Shazam! Fury of the Gods (49%), and Black Adam (39%).
