9.7/10. Hands down the best super heroine movie ever made. I know it's been torn to shreds by many but I disagree. Helen Slater possesses a charm that makes you love her instantly. It's good without needing Superman, a superhero origin doesn't need its big brother necessarily. Supergirl was the first and best super heroine movies still. I think it should be viewed more favorably, like a back up quarterback. She's still good in her own right. Go and watch this with an open mind. Helen Slater is one of several unfairly overlooked actresses of the 80's.

Linda Lee: My ears what?
Lucy Lane: Pierced. Like and you know, I take a needle, and then I heat it up, dab it with some alcohol and, zap, all the guys go crazy.
Linda Lee: Because I have holes in my ears?
Lucy Lane: What, are you putting me on? Sometimes I can't figure you out, Linda.

Answer: It's never explained, she could have changed at super speed. In Superman II, when confronted by the super criminals at the Fortress of Solitude, Superman did a disappearing and reappearing act. So did the criminals. It might be a similar thing.
