Description:
Catwoman is the story of meek, mild-mannered artist Patience Philips, who works for Hedare Beauty, a mammoth cosmetics company on the verge of releasing a revolutionary anti-aging product. When Patience inadvertently happens upon a dark secret her employer is hiding, she is attacked and killed. But Patience is given a second chance - a second life in which someone not quite human resides. Someone with the strength, speed, agility and ultra-keen senses of a cat. With her newfound power, Patience becomes Catwoman, and sets out to stop Hedare's callous plan to unleash an appallingly dangerous product into the world.

For a certain segment of the population, the vision of Halle Berry in shredded skin-tight leather is reason enough to see Catwoman. As Patience Philips, Berry plays a mousy graphic designer for a cosmetics company who learns a little too much about her employer's new beauty cream and gets flushed down a waste-disposal pipe. A supernatural cat brings Patience back to life and brings up a new persona from the depths of her psyche; soon she's bounding around fire escapes, cracking a whip, and getting framed for a couple of murders by a villainous ex-supermodel (Sharon Stone, Total Recall, Basic Instinct). If you're hoping for a Catwoman with bite, this is not your movie--this Catwoman rescues children from malfunctioning ferris wheels and apologizes for stealing jewels. The movie's script and visual style are as fresh as used kitty litter. Also featuring Benjamin Bratt (Miss Congeniality), and Frances Conroy (Six Feet Under). --Bret Fetzer

Rating: - Bat Kitty! Bad Bad Kitty!
This is not the worst movie in the world as some would have you believe. But in a world that has given us "Manos: the Hands of Fate", "Dungeons & Dragons" and "Starship Troopers: Hero of the Federation", that doesn't really say much.

I watched this movie because I have a morbid curiosity about bad movies. Particularly, figuring out where they went wrong. And the consensus here is ... pretty much everywhere.

Let's start with the story. The villain's dastardly plan revolves ... Read More

Rating: - Great fun movie, bring on the sequel
I saw this movie on DVD because they never brought it to our cinema. I subsequently tried to purchase it on DVD but that order never arrived. I must have Patience's bad luck with this movie! Either way, I am determined to own it because it's a really fun movie and has a plausible storyline that actually makes sense to me, is thought-provoking and is not overdone or over-acted, contrary to what some reviewers say. I believe those reviewers probably watched a different movie - or are of the comic-book fan ... Read More

Rating: - Three and a half ... and by they way she acted great!
This is a totally watchable movie, I love the origin of catwoman and some of the cgi effects, cat movements etc... Specially the fight in the jewelry store. I just hated the corny dialogue ex. "It's overtime!" Corny!!!

I agree a better villain could have been better, but Sharon did a good job. I love Sharon. Maybe if she were a sci fi villain instead of a normal person with a face of marble. Anyway, there are worse things in this movie:

Editing, don't know if it was the directors ... Read More

Rating: - Catwoman Movie
This is not a very good movie. Halle Barry did do her best, though.

The plot is basicly this- a shy and quiet woman saves a magical cat's life and is rewarded by becoming a Cat Woman by the cat, who has powers since he's an ancient breed, and starts off robbing. She tries to balence her cat nights and life with a handsome lover police man but evetually fails. Meanwhile, evil is at work as they create a cream that makes you look younger and turns your skin to look like a monster's. Our kitty hero ... Read More

Rating: - Come on...It's not THAT bad!
I understand now that the bad reviews came from those who know and covet the Batman legacy. Apparently there are components in this movie that are in contradiction to the way the Catwoman character was originally written. That being said, this story is laid out well and moves succinctly without too much filler. Characters are developed well enough to support the story and not bore the audience and really, the film is beautifully done. And oh yeah...the story: introverted, talented "schlub" works for evil corporate ... Read More
