No magic or genuine excitement to be found here, just loads upon loads of borderline unbearable camp that will either tickle viewers or have them begging to get Richard Pryor back.
Faye Dunaway, Peter O'Toole, Mia Farrow... ¿podia caber alguna noción de desperdicio con un reparto asi? tratandose de una producción de los Salkind, absolutamente asi. Esta insipida adaptación del comic de la popular contraparte femenina de Superman se puede ubicar, facilmente, entre las peores peliculas de consumo popular (curiosamente, no es hollywoodense) de los 80. Aunque el presupuesto parece un poquito superior al de aquella otra marranada llamada Superman III, eso no le resta ni un apice a la idiotez permanente del guión, a las penosas actuaciones del multiestelar reparto ni a la grandisima hueva que produce el estar aplastandose las nalgas durante dos horas y media viendo esta pendejada. Mis 2 estrellas (obvio) se las dedico única y exclusivamente a ese culito de no mames que siempre ha sido Helen Slater.
