Obviously, no one involved in this disaster cares anything at all about Catwoman.

The kind of movie that almost guarantees the loss of a few I.Q. points.

This is barely a film -- it's more like a music video-slash- TV-commercial- slash-computer game.

Instead of basking in the considerable charms Berry has to offer, the director, Pitof ... treats them like accessories to the picture's flashy, senseless cutting and overused special effects.

Catwoman is dragged down by a paper-thin story, the predictable number of fight scenes executed at equally predictable intervals and stock, unmemorable characters.

Widely considered a terrible movie, but if you enjoy the camp genre, it's a must-see. It is, in fact, camp on a catnip high.

Hide this Catwoman on a hot tin roof -- or anywhere else no one is likely to see it.

An almost unmitigated disaster, this major studio production with a major star in the lead (the Oscar-winning Halle Berry) comes across like a direct-to-video production, complete with ultra lame computer-generated effects and clueless direction ...

I'm pretty sure an actual cat could have made a better film.

Much better than it had to be and a lot better than many Internet critics, eager to hate it, wanted it to be.

You're left with flashes of mis-spent promise: the feline mysticism; the cosmetics-industry intrigue; the idea of electrocuting Lambert Wilson's unctious corporate cad.

The main question to ask is why did we need this project?

• 1. Ophelia: Catwomen are not contained by the rules of society. You follow your own desires. This is both a blessing and a curse. You will often be alone and misunderstood. But you will experience a freedom other women will never know. You are a catwoman. Every sight, every smell, every sound, incredibly heightened. Fierce independence, total confidence, inhuman reflexes.
  2. Patience Philips/Catwoman: So I'm not Patience anymore?
  3. Ophelia: You are Patience. And you are Catwoman.
