There’s oly one watchable movie I can think of that’s specifically about a superheroine and tells you so in the title…. and it’s a comedy at said superheroine’s expense. “My Super Ex-Girlfriend” is actualy a pretty good film, but the fact that I have to go to something as un-serious as that to fit your chriteria just serves to underline how serious the lack of decent superheroine movies is.

Where is She Hulk? Power Girl?

I agree with OnyxSparrow. If you are asking about movies that a based a heroine with super powers, there have not been any really good superheroine movies. As much as I like Halle Berry, Catwoman was horrible and Elekta was very good either.

Maybe they should do an X-men prequel about Jean Grey. That might be interesting.

I actually liked the campy “Supergirl” movie. May be it was just the actress, eh.

The problem we run into with a lot of these aswers is the context of the question. A “Super Heroine” movie doesn’t simply mean a movie with good female superheroes in it, but a movie that is Focused on female superhero. This is a very short list, and not a very good one at that.

Another question is if you can define Superheroine. The Bride in “Kill Bill” does fit as an Anti-Heroine, but her place as a Superheroine is up for grabs… there’s a gap between being a Heroine and a Superheroine. Lara Croft is a Heroine. Sarah Conner is a Heroine. Rippley is a Heroine. Do they count as Super though? Not really…

The male-focused stories of Superheroes are in abundance. From Superman to Batman, to Ironman and Spider-man, you can always find a Superhero. Most female superheroes seem to exsist as part of the team or as a partner/subordinate rather than it being about them. This seems to be an inherent flaw in the system… I for one would love to see a true Superheroine movie, but sadly it has yet to really happen on a blockbuster project.

Valeria – Conan the Barbarian – she was the first badass chick I saw, next to Princess Leia of course
