Critics are all saying the same thing about Milly Alcock in Supergirl’s first reactions. Early buzz reveals where the DCU solo debut soars and stumbles ahead of its June release.

Supergirl’s first reactions are good news before reviews

Milly Alcock’s solo DCU debut as Kara Zor-El arrives in theaters on June 26. Craig Gillespie directs the film, which multiple critics have already screened in advance. The Mary Sue’s Rachel Leishman said, “Girls can be messy and that rules! Kara isn’t her cousin and I really loved how this movie makes that clear.”

SUPERGIRL is everything I wanted it to be. Girls can be messy and that rules! Kara isn't her cousin and I really loved how this movie makes that clear. She's a different kind of hero and perfect in every way. pic.twitter.com/38V5fP2MWd

The emotional core of the story resonated strongly with several early viewers. Den of Geek’s David Crow described it as “the superhero movie I’ve missed: a straightforward, poignant story with lots of emotion.” He further stated that “Milly Alcock absolutely owns the role and will change our idea of Supergirl forever.”

Jason Momoa’s turn as Lobo generated major excitement among critics as well. ComicBook’s Chris Killian shared, “Jason Momoa is having the fraggin’ time of his life as Lobo.” He additionally highlighted the film’s “practical effects” as “Oscar-level good.”

If you threw GOTG, True Grit, and Mad Max into a DC blender, you’d get #Supergirl – a grimy, funny, yet surprisingly somber space adventure. Milly shines, especially when we get into Kara’s tragic backstory, but Jason Momoa is having the fraggin’ time of his life as Lobo. (1/2) pic.twitter.com/k2wmb7VMdy

ScreenRant’s Ash Crossan shared, “I really dug #Supergirl. Milly is excellent and I too am a hot mess who locks in for work.” Junior Felix declared, “Momoa IS LOBO, but I wanted more of him. The scenes with Clark are priceless.”

#Supergirl SOARS! Milly Alcock is the perfect Kara. This film is filled with gorgeous set pieces and dazzling action sequences. Momoa IS LOBO, but I wanted more of him. The scenes with Clark are priceless. Third act is F'N fun. The future is bright with this Supergirl. pic.twitter.com/eWTcYMlpFj

Still, not every reaction was overwhelmingly positive about the project. Mama’s Geeky’s Tessa Smith labeled Supergirl “a mixed bag,” explaining that “some adaptation choices and a bland villain keep it from greatness.”

Unfortunately Supergirl is a mixed bag for me. As a fan of the comic, I was (perhaps) overly excited for the film adaptation. While Jason Momoa’s Lobo & Milly Alcock shine, some adaptation choices and a bland villain keep it from greatness. It's, simply put, just fine. #Supergirl pic.twitter.com/4uDAvQmjYv

DCU Brief similarly noted the “villain being simpler, and scale being smaller but sharper.” They nonetheless called the film “bold, fresh and lively” with “stylish needledrops and hyperfast action.”

SUPERGIRL is a bold, fresh and lively film that lets this iconic character shine. Milly Alcock is the highlight. She's jaded and brash, yet optimistic and so damn cool. Craig Gillespie’s vibrant direction has stylish needledrops and hyperfast action. Pace is short and sweet. Some… pic.twitter.com/LJAun0AAxd
