Movie Info

Patience Philips (Halle Berry) seems destined to spend her life apologizing for taking up space. Despite her artistic ability -- she has a more than respectable career as a graphic designer for Hedare Beauty, a Goliath cosmetics company -- Patience is excruciatingly shy, quick to take blame, and, not surprisingly, more than a little depressed at the end of the day. This comes to somewhat of a screeching halt when Patience not only inadvertently lands herself in the middle of a corporate

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

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.

From the looks of French director Pitof's poorly realized effort of bringing DC Comics' "Catwoman to the big screen, it seems unlikely that a sequel for the feline superhero/villain.

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.

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 ...

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.

I find it sad the original story the character was told with in 1992's BATMAN RETURNS (unless you go all the way back to 1966's TV spinoff BATMAN: THE MOVIE) is absolutely shot down for this 2004 litter box of a movie. Instead, we have a premise like the one you would find watching ultra-violent superhero flick THE

Catwoman doesn't deserve all the interrogation and outmost hate that it gets. Halle Berry shows dedication in this roll like any other movie she's been in. Yes, some scenes are laughable and there are reasonable flaws to dislike it. But there's no reason to despise it. That's coming from someone who doesn't like super
