According to some"trollers" online, James Gunn and Supergirl director Craig Gillepsie were not getting along, according to the latest THR report. But that is not the case.

Both the cuts (Director and Studio's) were not so great, scoring in 60s in test screenings. Only things different is that director's cut had 11 minutes of extra scenes, mostly of the villain, and a different song in the end. I don't think that would have made a huge difference.

BUT while like James Gunn's work and wants more of him as a director, he really need to spend more time now as THE DC Studios head.

This excerpt from THR report explain it well:

"But Supergirl’s failure does put a scrutinizing spotlight on Gunn, who has positioned himself as the face of the company as no other studio head has before, thanks to his prodigious output on social media and comments in the press about quality control.

Other studio heads, such as Marvel’s Kevin Feige or Warners’ Pam Abdy, are known to get vigorously involved in the post-production process. But none are filmmakers making their own movies while also running, or co-running, a major studio division."

After loving Superman last year and being hyped for all things James Gunn has in store, I thought Supergirl can become a surprise banger.

However, the trailers were so mid, that I lowered my expectations, but the movie was still below average.

I compare it to Marvel's Captain Marvel (2019), both had great casting, with Brie Larson there and Milly Alcock here. Both did put a lot of effort in their roles and the space battle scenes were really theatre-worthy.

BUT the script was so bad. There were pacing issues, random cuts, plain villain, jokes that don't land and so on.

LOBO was fun but 50% of the time it felt like he was just there for the fan service, even though he could have been given a bigger role in the plot.

I think the one thing writers miss with female superhero movies is they try to make them COOL and not that relatable or "human".

The best example is Wonder Woman (2017) where they really made Diana a "hero" in the story with how silly she was in the begining, then fought for something she believed in, made mistakes, fought like a warrior, accepted a sacrifice and had a full character development.

Still, I like Milly as Supergirl and Superman too (he is such a perfect casting), so expecting a banger in MAN OF TOMORROW.🤞

In Delhi, the best choice is definitely PVR Priya IMAX with its 69ft wide screen, laser projectors, and 12-channel audio. The second best option will be the IMAX PVR Select City Walk, with just a smaller size. 

But if you can compromise on 4K laser projectors and just want the biggest size possible, you can also choose between IMAXs at Vegas Mall, Dwarka and Logix (now Bhutani City Centre), Noida.

In Mumbai, Miraj Cinemas gives you a 72ft wide screen, the biggest IMAX in India, with laser projectors but no 12-channel audio. So, if you want a better sound experience, PVR ICON at Phoenix Palladium, in Lower Parel, is better.

In Bengaluru,  PVR Nexus Koramangala gives you IMAX Laser with 12-channel audio. Other than that, IMAX at VR Mall and Vega City Mall does have 60ft wide screens.
