I approached Super/Man with a healthy degree of skepticism. After all, Christopher Reeve’s life, health crisis, and death are an open book. What would be the point of rehashing incidents that played out in the media 30 years ago? I had no great ...

It's possible to acknowledge what a movie is trying to do without wholeheartedly embracing how it goes about the task. That's the issue with Craig Gillespie's Supergirl: solid premise, mediocre execution. Despite an intriguing arc for Milly Alcock...
