CATWOMAN

[RicochetShaw]

:eek: :eek: :eek:


This is sure to be one of the worst films of all time, I think.


And is it just me, or is Sharon Stone having an anti-Midas effect? As of late, everything she touches seems to just fail.

My favorite line from the tv spots, "Now I can kill you."

LOL. Then of course Halle rips the gun out of her hand via her whip, and responds, "My bad."

This is gold.

[Scarface98.9]

I don't think Halle Berry is hot at all. I've always found her overrated and not sexy. She doesn't do anything for my libido. But they managed the impossible and made her look even more unsexy with that stupid costume on and the CGI whip. The movie looks about 17 shades of bad, and the laughable Sharon Stone playing a villain. I don't give a shit that it's unfaithful to the comics, it just seems like a totally shitty movie

[Tweek]

Yeah, if i knew nothing about batman, it would still look like shit.

I read a review where someone said there's CGI of Catwoman WALKING.
WALKING!

As for that costume, there's a clip i saw where she has a different one that looks a helluva lot better than the one with the mouse ears and little else.

[Adornado]

I may be in the minority, but it doesn't look all that bad. I might not see it in theaters but I'll give it a rent on DVD since I like Halle Berry and usually like these kinds of movies*.



*S&M movies

[Shockwave]

I think it loosk like utter shit, the Cat-woman costume is possibley the worst Super hero costume ive ever seen.

[JCR]

This will be the greatest cheese movie ever I hope. I really hope they've left in the scenes of berry on all fours chasing rats and growling at dogs that are in the novel. They rock!!!!!! ;)

In fairness to the movie the stone 'vader in episode 4' style death scene does sound fairly cool. Ah who am I kidding? We are in total so bad it is good territory here. I hope.

Can't wait!

[Tweek]

my suggestion: if you want to see the movie but not add to it's box office gross, pay for another movie and walk into this one.

[Labbla]

I got a free ticket to this so I'm gonna see it. My brain is still trying to fight the idea of subjecting myself to that sort of torture. I'll let you guys no how this shit pile turns out. Hopefully it will have the Batman Begins teaser....

[Glaze]

I don't care to see Crapwoman ,looks like a piece of shit.

[Strider]

I hate to admit it, but I will be seeing Catwoman in theaters. Granted, it looks like a dreadful piece of shit, and I hope it has a quick death at the box-office, but at the same time, the film looks to have some potential of being unintentionally hilarious. That's probably the reason why I want to see the flick, in hope of it making me laugh my ass off at its own expense.

So, here's hoping! :D

Strider

[Hannibal21]

Believe it or not. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS MOVIE!

That's right, I'm serious. It does look shitty but I think it will be a fun cheesy movie (god I love those!) that I will enjoy the hell out of! I like Halle Berry and I like Sharon Stone, plus I'm a sucker for any type of Catwoman (but mark my words: Michelle Pfeiffer's slinky feline criminal will always be one of my biggest love interests, no other cats comes close) and cats in general. And the trailer actually didn't look THAT bad in my opinion.

[TheGodSon]

There goes Halle's career...

[sharkstank]

well, its been said b4 by me, but this doesnt look good. i'll see it though since i have the free ticket from the batman animated series dvd

WWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Jon Lyrik]

Oh God, this looks awful. There's good cheese, and then there is Battlefield Earth cheese.

Will I see it? I'll sneak in it at the dollar theatre and see it out of sheer curiosity.

[FilmBuff84]

Even though this is looking bad, I will probably end up seeing it in cinemas, against my better judgement I suspect. The film doesn't open in Aus till September, so I'll have plenty of chances to read up on how this turns out. I've been watching some clips from the movie over this week-and oh the dialogue. Halle Berry should officially give back her Oscar. I know a line like 'Cat got your tongue' is cheesy, but there would be some people that could deliver it, not Halle.

This CGI whip and a CGI Catwoman walking has me interested into just how lazy this production was.

And things aren't going well right now review-wise, with Rotten Tomatoes sporting 0% on the Tomatoemetre.

[Fisting Ackbar]

I've been at the post reply screen for several minutes trying to think of a way to explain my thoughts about this atrocity, and this is what I have come up with:


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[JCR]

Contains spoilers for catwoman....like anyone gives a fuck!

Excellent! Do you get the scene where stones face cracks open at the end? If so is it any good? Because in the book that was the only break from the cheese, the only one scene that could be cool.

And I don't want no break from the cheese! :D

[blankpage]

This looks so awful!!!

And yet, I have this sudden interest to actually see it. I don't know. No, it's not Halle Berry half nekkid, good god, no. That's a turnoff. But, once in a while, there's a film that looks so bad, I can't wait to see it.

This is one of those films.

What I meant to say is that I think it looks atrocious, unfortunatly I haven't seen it and can't confirm the head cracking.

[Jim Morrison]

This does look horrible and it seemed awfully rushed. With the moderate success of Gothika, this will show if Halle Berry can carry another movie by herself because face it, Sharon Stone and Benjamin Bratt aren't box office stars.

[Moviefan1234]

Chalk this one up as one of those films I hope I never have the displeasure of seeing.

I do too, but I'm as flaccid as tap water for this movie. With all the utter shit she has done after her Oscar win, she's becoming the female version of Cuba Gooding Jr.

[chinton]

Not as horrible as expected but not good at all. benjamin bratt is a serious bore and most of the humor falls flat. Also I got really tired of Berry's naughty sctick as Catwoman. Sharon Stone was the bes t part. Also some of the early action scenes were nice

Since Gothika is the only bad movie she's done (I'm not counting Catwoman until I actually see it first) since her oscar win, I don't think she's there yet.

I sawthis review at rottentomatoes.com and thought it was pretty funny.It was one of the 12% "positive reviews this film has recieved.Its' originally from spliced wire.com

CAT CAMP FEVER
Halle Berry slinks through a new view of 'Catwoman' that's so bad it's good

One of the hassles of a four-star rating system for movie reviews is that at first glance it can appear to put an enjoyably bad movie on equal footing with a really good one -- case in point, this week's two big studio releases.

Inventive, original and packed with uncommonly intelligent action, "The Bourne Supremacy" is an example of a great three-star movie -- one that I toyed with giving another half-star, but while it's on the "great" end of "good," it didn't quite cross the threshold into "extraordinary." (I hope that makes some kind of sense.)

But "Catwoman" is a whole different kind of three-star movie -- one so blundering, so badly written, so ripped to shreds by the actors chewing the scenery, so pretentiously self-serious, and yet seemingly aware of its own off-the-charts camp value -- that it is wildly entertaining, but for all the wrong reasons. Halle Berry prowls, hisses, struts and scratches her way through this lavishly over-produced riff on Batman's kinkiest nemesis, in which the title character is not a Gotham villainess but just one of a string of women throughout history given special feline powers by cats descended from ancient Egyptian animal gods.

A mousy gal in badly mismatched outfits, Patience Philips (Berry) is a graphic designer for a cosmetics conglomerate that is about to launch a miracle anti-aging beauty cream with horrible hidden side-effects -- a fact she inadvertently discovers, leading to her untimely death at the hands of company henchmen, and her resurrection at the paws of an Egyptian puss with magical halitosis (or at least misty green breath).

Patience uses her newfound abilities to become a hip-swinging vamp in shredded leather and a cat mask, seeking vengeance and finding her feline half has side-effects of its own, not the least of which are an addictive vulnerability to catnip, a distracting weak spot for shiny objects (mesmerized by a necklace, she breaks into a high-end jewelry boutique) and a tendency to lick people, like Benjamin Bratt as a handsome Mr. Wonderful -- a charming cop seeking to capture Catwoman, but who still has the time to help inner-city children.

Meanwhile, the cosmetics company's nefarious husband-and-wife CEOs (greasy Frenchman Lambert Wilson and a deliciously over-the-top, platinum-butch Sharon Stone), plot to unleash their product on an unsuspecting world in which FDA approval is something easily dismissed with a few lines of absurd exposition.

Although occasionally funny on purpose, "Catwoman" has so many hallmarks of unintentional high camp that they become impossible to ignore: dialogue so ungainly that its talented actors come off looking like a Roger Corman troupe, a laughable lack of chemistry between the romantic leads, low-rent CGI super-power F/X, telegraphed comic-relief stereotypes (including a distastefully screaming-queen, "you go girl!" homosexual) and a director who takes himself so seriously that he goes by only one name -- Pitof.

But for Z-movie cachet, you can't beat "Catwoman's" preposterous catfight climax, in which Berry trades cartwheel kicks and laughably bad barbs ("Game over!" begets "Guess what? It's overtime!") with Stone, who may have finally found her career-comeback calling card as a larger-than-life queen bitch. It's just a pity this Pitof fellow (previously a French second-unit man for Luc Besson and Jean-Pierre Jeunet) lets the fight scene's incongruous R&B soundtrack run roughshod over his big silly finish, turning the movie into a bad music video for the third or fourth time.

Topping off the unintentional humor is the fact that "Catwoman," in which the stunningly gorgeous (and allegedly surgeon-sculpted) Berry slinks around half-naked most of the time, genuinely tries to say something about our culture's over-valuing of youth and beauty.

So although it confounds me to give any movie three stars specifically for being awful, my rule for this rating is a "solid recommend," and the fact is, there's a great time to be had at "Catwoman" -- just bring lots of popcorn to throw at the screen.

[Jon Lyrik]

Ebert gave it */****. I expected 0.5/4 instead. The aura of this movie is reminding me A LOT of Battlefield Earth.

[Moviefan1234]

Heh, I saw a review this morning that said it's worse than Gigli. Now THAT is sad!

[Lazy Boy]

Since Gigli was pretty good, IMO, perhaps Catwoman will be a masterpiece....

Yeah, right! ;)

[roadrage]

My Two Cents...

Every once in a while a movie comes along that just looks sooo incredibly bad and is surrounded by such negativity that one can only wonder why in the hell the movie even gets released.

Catwoman is far and away one of these movies. I am head over heels happy to see that RottenTomatoes, ComingSoon.net and even CNN have shared their utter distaste for this movie (and soon JoBlo).

Halle Berry is an overratted, overexposed, untalented actress. She may be good on the eyes, but if Billy Bob hadn't tapped that a$$, she wouldn't have been nominated for Best Actress. [Don't get me started on how staged her and Denzel's joint winnings were.]

I hope this movie kills her career as well as the one-hit-wonder Sharon Stone's career too. No moviegoer is going to miss either one.

[Jon Lyrik]

Good post, but Stone doesn't even have a career to kill anymore.

[Shockwave]

I want to see this more then ever now, i wonder just how bad this is going to bomb..

...does anyone know the budget? I hope it cost alot.
:)

[sharkstank]

i believe the budget is 90 mil.

WWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Shockwave]

Not as high as i would have hoped but it still wont make its money back, not with the word of mouth its getting.

[Lynn7]

I think I saw that it made 6million on Friday. I wonder if all the cat fanatics out there will drive up the numbers?

[mr_gamecube]

I actually liked this movie, parts of it were hilarious when she purred or hissed like a cat was laugh out loud funny. Other than that it held my attention and Ithe action was good. I'd see it again and would probably buy it just because I love comic book movies.

[st3v3n]

Man I saw this flick today (for free) and that is the only way I would have.

There was so much wrong with this flick that it is hard to know where to begin.

This movie is basically just about showcasing Berry's ASSets.

There is no acting talent, in fact her character is so shallow that it is laughable. It is almost like she attended the Joey T. school of acting.


Okay now you are scared so make big eyes, and jump alot.

Okay now you are tough so strut.

That was about the range of her abilities.

The plot line is stolen directly from Batman and Batman Returns.

She has to stop a deadly shipment of face cream! Hello can we say The Joker!

And she has to fight her dual self which was done much better in Batman Returns.

There are tons of plot holes, and not ones that you can easily ignore simply because it is an action superhero movie.

The Directing is for shit! If you don't like to see ANYTHING but a fast moving camera during the action scenes this is your movie.

Berry didn't have to learn to fight or do anything but walk as they never show anything.

It's a close up of a fist hitting a face, then a shot of Berry smiling, then more camera shakes then a guy falls down, exciting!

And the whole motorcycle scene was riduculous. There wasn't one clear shot of anything except her leaving and stopping.

And I loved how it never showed her putting her helmet on but you can see the chin strap on while she or should I say her double is riding, then when she stops there is no helmet in sight.

And please, PLEASE! kill the person that decided to digitally grade the skin of all the actors so they look like they are in Lothlorien at all times! The especially did this with Barry.

I am sure the main reason was so the transition between the CGI Berry, which gets about 60 percent of the screen time, would be less noticable.

It just goes to show how lazy either Barry is or the Director because some of the CGI moves could have easily been done by a human..... Hmmmm lets see

WALKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I guess Barry didn't want to train to learn how to walk!

And again the CGI is way overused and just as shakey as the rest of the action. Oh except for the slow motion close up of her ASS in sweat pants, that they give you a good look at.

I must admit I liked the fact that she takes it in the butt from a jaguar!

And at only about 95 minutes or so I thought it would end quickly but it just kept dragging and dragging!

There is NOTHING in Catwoman that you haven't seen done better in other movies.

And I thought it was very dumb to basically use the same pictures from the opening credits, during the movie! I am sure your research department could have found a few more cat pictures.

If you truly believe that Barry deserved an Oscar stear clear of this flick as she couldn't put a highschool drama student to shame in this one.

But it was a good laugh, at her! and it was free.

I'll give it a 2 out of 10 simply because it didn't have Hillary Duff or Mandy Moore in it and at least I can look at Barrys assests and not feel dirty for feeling dirty.

And I had the unfortunate luck to catch a bit of the making of Catwoman on HBO when I came home from the show. There is Barry spouting about how the evolution of the costume is played out on screen, LIE!

She has two costumes, and it never shows her making anything, and nothing evolves on screen, they just appear!

Has she watched the movie?

My review of Catwoman

IN SHORT: Bad Halle-Cat back to your litter box !!


THE GOOD:Halle Berry was fun to look at.Sharon Stone has great legs.Mad T.V's Alex Borstein was funny as Halle-Cat's horny best friend.One good action sequence.The Halle-Cat booty basketball scene was kind of cute.And thats all folks!



THE BAD:How do movies like this make it to the big screen?!?
Especially a comic book movie,which had such a wealth of characters and stories to choose from.The execs at Warner Brothers decided to create their own Catwoman.We are reminded of this in one of many of the films lame scenes.What was the point of Frances Conroy's kitty guidance counselor character? I guess they wanted to show how odd her vine covered southern home looked in the middle of a financial district.Besides Halle-Cat finds out everything she needs to know from the internet.Benjamin Bratt looks tired and sounds bored as Halle-Cat's love interest.Even though his character is given a ton of clues to Halle-Cat's identity,he still cant put cat and clue together.I mean even Lois Lane could have figured this out ! But i guess he wanted a littlle Halle-Cat nooky before he confronted her.If you want to see him in a good movie rent Bound by Honor. Sharon Stone plays the same character from Basic Instinct ,except with shorter hair and a handgun instead of an icepick.The music is a mixture of techno and the soundtrack from The Women of Brewster Place.The football helmet mask looks silly.The CGI is terrible,straight from the video game.Everyone spits out cheesy lines.A scene in the police station contains some of the worst acting i have seen in years.While the scene was going on a guy seated next to me said i cant believe this,i said neither can i as i looked at my watch.


IN THE END :Scale of 1-10 a 2 . Jump over this litter box and wait for cable.

[Tweek]

I would rather watch Batman and Robin for two days straight, then grow a penis, and be castrated with a rusty knife than watch this crap again.

This movie was a huge pain! I thought it’d at least be funny! But it wasn’t!

My jaw was constantly in the dropped position as I watched this… Who green-lit this?! He/She must pay. As must the editor. What the hell?! There should be a rule that you shouldn’t edit a movie while under the influence of drugs.

Pitof should be beaten within an inch of his life. I know it’s cruel of me to say that, but if given the chance, I would beat him severely for making this. The writers too. The dialogue was awful! AWFUL!

Don’t even get me started on the CGI. There was an early sequence when she’s getting to the club (I think) that’s entirely in CGI, even the things that ANYBODY could do… Like WALK.

At least Lambert Wilson was in it. He’s devastatingly handsome and I’d do him in a second.

In closing, I'm so glad I didn't pay.

Fin

[ilovemovies]

Lambert Wilson looks so much like Almador from this past season 24. Infact, when I first saw Almador I thought it was Wilson, but it wasn't.


I only bring that up because the reason I may watch this movie is because Ira Gains (from season 1) is in it. And I like to support lesser known actors I like by watching their movies. Even if it's utter crap, which I'm sure this is.


The actual name of the actor is Michael Massee.

[Psychocandy]

And so the difference in quality between Marvel adaptations and DC adaptations continues to widen and become more pronounced. Hopefully Batman Begins will go some way towards providing a remedy for this woeful situation. One things for sure...Constantine ain't gonna do it.

[Tweek]

Now that Singer is on Superman and Batman Begins is looking mighty promising, i have some faith.

[SiriusTJMackey]

This is without a doubt the worst film of the year. Thank god I didn't have to pay for it (coupon with Batman animated series box set), because it was truly awful. Everything from the acting, to the "action," to the f/x, to the ridiculous make-up plot was ludicrous. Skip it, most definitely.

[Common Sense Man]

One more comment about editing.

I saw part of it again yesterday, yes the benefits of being a projectionist, or in this case the curse.

And during the scene were the scientist is talking about the side effects of the cream they put in edits.

Like the kind you see during a news story when they edit out some of what the guy says so you see the picture jump a bit.

They did this while the scientist was talking three or four times!

It just jump cuts from his face to his FACE! stupid.

All I can think is that they are trying to distract you by using terrible special effects, bad editing and camera work and crappy dialouge so in the end Berry can say it wasn't her fault this crap burger failed.

And there is no way in hell that Batman Begins could be worse than this, two hours of Bale in a Batsuit taking a crap on the bat- toilet would be better than this!

And I felt the score was lame as well. Nothing memorable at all.

And if I hear the word Urban used one more time by someone related to the film to explain the look of the costume or the sets I am going to bitch slap them all.

It's not Urban it's Hooker-Shiek and that is putting it nicely.

-------------------------------------------------

Catwoman - A Letter from Halle's Oscar
by Mark Ramsey

July 25, 2004

The following was received by Variety and marked "For Peter Bart's Eyes Only." The return address said only:

Halle Berry's Oscar
Halle Berry's House
Beverly Hills, CA 90210

What you're reading was leaked to this reporter from an unnamed source at Variety.

Dear Peter:

Is it safe to look yet? I've had my golden head buried in my shimmering hands since the Catwoman premiere.

Some ideas look great on paper and by "some" I don't mean this one. Catwoman is a drinking game of cinematic proportions. Was this National Lampoon's Catwoman? If only I had pants I would promptly shit them.

Welcome to a world without bed-head. A world where stilettos don't impede scampering down the side of a building. A world where cops can't fight crime like a dominatrix with impeccable lip gloss and the kind of costume you usually see wrapped around a pole.

Thanks to Catwoman, the Academy has decided to open a new Indian Giver branch which will award Oscars temporarily until the actor makes a dumbass career move or marries Jennifer Lopez. That redundancy aside, spots on the mantle of egomaniacal actors will now be open for commemorative plates, souvenir spoons, and certificates of completion from Passages Rehab Center in Malibu.

In the annals of awful movies two unintentionally hilarious moments now stand out: Elizabeth Berkley enthusiastically grinding on Kyle Maclachlan in Showgirls and Halle Berry enthusiastically grinding some catnip into her face in Catwoman. Said Halle: "I just visualized it was the ass of every member of the Academy and the Hollywood Foreign Press - the sucking up came naturally."

"It all started on the day that I died," this movie begins. And I thought, if this movie is over just as it opens at least the audience will leave happy. "The day I died was also the day I started to live," it went on. And my spirits drained like puss from a festering wound.

So Halle is dead when a cat blows smoke in her face and brings her to life. I've seen Matthew McConaughey do this trick to a dog, but the dog just gets the munchies and never to my knowledge learns how to instinctively crack a whip.

Everyone fears Catwoman they way they would fear the cover of Cosmo. I know she's supposed to be sexy, but if I had a penis I'd rub it on a scratching post first. How is she supposed to stop the bad guys? Titillate them into acquiescence? "You're too sexy! My erection makes escape impossible! I surrender!"

The camera lingers on Halle's toned torso as if all the action was about to pour out of her navel into the dramatic vacuum that was the rest of this movie. But no such luck. The only thing leaving her navel was her everlasting soul. Wave bye-bye, everybody! Bye-bye Halle's soul!

Benjamin "Box Office Ebola" Bratt is in this movie. The last time Ben was in a star vehicle it was Julia Roberts' Cadillac Escalade.

At the cold, dead heart of this tale is a revolutionary new cosmetic, Beau-line (clunkily pronounced Bee*au*lean), which reverses the effects of aging, but not the effects of deplorable filmmaking and the waste of millions of studio dollars.

Sharon Stone, "Kitty of the Year, 1992," comes full circle in Catwoman. Sharon was the covermodel for the Beau-line cosmetics company "until I turned 40 and they threw me away." Turned 40?! This trip down distant memory lane is brought to you by the makers of Ginko Biloba.

Sharon is slathered with enough clown white that she's one red nose away from twisting balloons into animal shapes. "My skin's like living marble - I can't feel a thing," she says as Halle's face-punch is met with a "clang!" Truly, if Botox needles were flags you could play 18 holes on Sharon's head.

Once the sexiest mama in motion pictures, Sharon is now an emblem for pathos past its prime, for the anxieties of aging and the desperate frenzy to preserve youth at all costs. For once, art really does imitate life - or at least a life-mask.

How can I worry about a cosmetics company scheming for world domination? Any industry that can't conquer tiny facial lines is unlikely to conquer humanity. Watch out! They're armed with Weapons of Moisturizing Destruction and incendiary blow dryers!

Catwoman is as boring as it is dreadful. "Sometimes I'm bad," Halle says near the well-earned end of this movie.

You got that right, sister.

So if you see a little golden man with a pack on his shoulder thumbing a ride to Tarzana, don't ask questions. Just know that Halle Berry has more shelf space for souvenir shot glasses and the liquor she'll soon be stockpiling to lubricate them.

Sincerely,

Halle Berry's Oscar

Haha Catwoman is failing horribly. I haven't seen it(and I never will!!!!) but this movie just looks so bad to a point that makes you wander if maybe the studio is trying to go bankrupt. I mean surely they should've known this would fail.

Love that picture.

Well it is up to 31 million dollars now.

What do you bet that the next meeting Halle has with movie execs will go something like this.



Halle: I want 20 million.

Studio: You'll take 2 and clean up at night after shooting.

Halle: Thank you kind Sir.




Ahh to dream!

Here is a clip from the Associated Press.

I think this is one of the signs of the end of times!

---------------------------------------------------------------

The Associated Press

"Catwoman" star Halle Berry said Thursday she would gladly slip into the skintight catsuit again, undaunted by a weak start for the movie in the United States.

"I think I'm really hoping to do another 'Catwoman,'" Berry told reporters ahead of the movie's German premiere.


--------------------------------------------------------------


Please slip into the catsuit again before they throw it in the dumpster!

She's obviously delusional.

Warner Brothers may have a bad track record, but they're not stupid enough to do a sequel to a failing movie.
The only way a sequel'd be made is if Halle finances it herself.

haha

I actually thought Sharon Stone looked amazingly hott in the film! She did a great job and she made the movie rock!

What the hell am I thinking? I just saw the movie today and I got one thing to say...

Anyways I thought the movie was 8/10 very good, and I would love to see a sequel!

It was an accident.

A few questions I had while watching Catwoman:

1. Why does a character stay in a hospitable for several days after fainting?

2. Why did the first half of this movie feel like a romantic comedy instead of a superhero movie?

3. Why does the director call himself...Pitof?

4. What was the gay guy doing in the movie?

5. Why couldn't Benjamin Bratt's cop character put two and two together and solve the case right away?

6. Why does Patients return the jewels after stealing them?

7. What's up with the name Patients?

8. What was the purpose of the crazy cat lady?

9. How can a cosmetic cream be addictive?

10. Why didn't Sally's face degenerate once she stopped using the makeup?

11. Why did it take 4 people to come up with the story and write the script?

12. Didn't Patients work for the makeup company? Why did she have to go to a different building to drop off her ad?

13. Why was it so easy for her to get inside the building where Sharon Stone and the other guy were discussing the side effects of using the cream?

14. Why didn't Patients just tell her cop boyfriend what happened and then all he had to do was go arrest the people that tried to kill her?

All that aside, Catwoman wasn't as bad as you might think being directed by a guy named Pitof and all...but it was still pretty bad. The movie was kind of entertaining in a "so bad it's funny" way and Halle Berry looked good in the catsuit. 5/10

Most of these can be answered with a simple phrase:

Plot Holes A Mile Deep.

Amen to that.

Well after reading everybody's comments, i think it's pretty safe to say that this movie is fast becoming very unpopular:)

I must agree with everyone who thinks this movie looks absolute bollocks. As a true comic fan (due to my dad forcing me to look at his:)), i am outraged at how untrue to the comics this movie has proved to be!

There is only one catwoman, and that's Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns.

And whoever designed Halle's costume deserves to be shot.

I do not plan on wasting £6.50 of my good money going to see this or even £3.00 renting it.

My verdict: Utter crap

Yes, my children, It's sick.

I do not think this movie knew what it wanted to be. If it was derived from the comics, why have a movie with no references to Batman, Joker etc...

It does not have a leg to stand on, no seqeul oppertunities or prequel options.

Well, it wasn't the same Catwoman as in Batman Returns.
