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

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.

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.

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.

No other Catwoman has looked so good in a cat suit. Beyond that, the whole affair is pretty dumb, even by the goofy standards of superhero flicks.

Audience Reviews for Catwoman

[img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img]

Catwoman doesn't deserve all the interrogation and outmost hate that it gets. Yes it's a film that you can look down your nose and laugh at, and there are reasonable flaws that can be use as reasons to dislike it. I dont know why I enjoyed this movie myself. I just did. As a critic, its my duty to say "i'm always right". This is the ONLY movie where I might have to criticise my own opinion. I dont know what made me enjoy it, or how it achieved it, but it entertained me.

Ok, I'm aware that this is not the Catwoman we want to see since it's close to July 20th. However, I just re-watched the film so as to know about the most notable depictions of Catwoman and now I know Halle Berry is not competition for best Catwoman. In Catwoman, Halle Berry plays Patience Phillips who works at a cosmetics company. She finds out about a conspiracy brewing in the company and she ends up as Catwoman. The first thing wrong with the movie is that there's nothing to grab your attention. Halle Berry's character is generic and her transformation into Catwoman takes too long. It's not even that believable either. Her character dies, cats bring her back to life and she becomes Catwoman. The design of her suit doesn't even look good. The cowl for her head looks laughable and as far as I'm concerned, the leather suit she's wearing might as well be for an S&M night. The main antagonist is Sharon Stone and she's head of the cosmetics company. Now Catwoman has to stop her plans (whatever they are, the movie doesn't make it clear what the motives are) and put an end to the evil cosmetics company. Does that sound as stupid as it looks? I felt like a dumbass just by typing the ridiculous plot. The casting guy for this movie deserves to get his ass kicked. Halle Berry as Catwoman? Really? Also, Alex Borstein in a live action movie...come on. She's better off sticking to voice acting. The action scenes are really bland. Not only does nothing exciting happen, but the effects are piss-poor. Catwoman jumping around is just poorly done. Not for one minute did I believe an actual person was performing all those stunts. The effects made the movie look like a video game. The entire movie all builds up to a climax that is just boring, uninspired and predictable. Catwoman is a terrible superhero movie that ranks up with the likes of other shitty superhero movie like Batman and Robin and DareDevil. Hopefully, Anne Hathaway can pull off Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises.
