Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow has received a 57% score on Rotten Tomatoes after reviews were published on June 24, 2025. Critics have criticized the film's script and structure.
"It has the worst script I can remember." — Owen Gleiberman, Variety
The film faces harsh critical consensus, with prominent reviewers panning its narrative and tone.
- Variety's Owen Gleiberman described the film as "super-horrendous" and stated it has "the worst script I can remember."
- Alison Willmore of Vulture called it an "aggressively minor movie" that "doesn't know what to do with" its lead.
- The Associated Press noted the film "struggles to match Kara's punk-rock energy with an equally spirited supporting cast and story."
- Alonso Duralde of The Film Verdict called it "a shambolic affair, cursed with underwhelming action and forgettable antagonists."
Gunn's Past Promises Resurface
In response to the criticism, past statements by James Gunn have been referenced. In 2023, Gunn said "Storytelling is 100% king" and that each project's medium depends on what the story requires.
On Threads last year, he wrote, "We won't green light a film until we have a finished script we're happy with," emphasizing a "quality first" approach.
Gunn also previously called The Flash "one of the best superhero movies I've ever seen."
