Patience Philips is a woman who can't seem to stop apologizing for her own existence. She works as a graphic designer for Hedare Beauty, a mammoth cosmetics company on the verge of releasing a revolut...( read more  read more... )ionary anti-aging product. When Patience inadvertently happens upon a dark secret her employer is hiding, she finds herself in the middle of a corporate conspiracy. What happens next changes Patience forever. In a mystical twist of fate, she is transformed into a woman with the strength, speed, agility and ultra-keen senses of a cat. With her newfound prowess and feline intuition, Patience becomes Catwoman, a sleek and stealthy creature balancing on the thin line between good and bad. Like any wildcat, she's dangerous, elusive and untamed. Her adventures are complicated by a burgeoning relationship with Tom Lone, a cop who has fallen for Patience but cannot shake his fascination with the mysterious Catwoman, who appears to be responsible for a string of crime sprees plaguing the city.

    started off with substance but quickly descended into a cross between a music video and a fashion show with really pathetic action sequences ruined by shoddy c.g.i. and quick camera shots. was she doing any of the physical stuff in it? it's a shame because halle berry can act. sh...( read more)e just hasn't made an effort to in the last few years! i mean, it's not like she's doing it to pay the bills anymore?!!? if you wanna see halle act then watch monsters ball

    The movie is OK - as a bit of fluff. Halle Berry is turned into Catwoman who then goes out to avenge her mistreatment.

    It is so stupid that Catwoman can fight the cops with her hands tied behind her back if she needs to, but when she fights Sharon Stone, Sharon almost kills her.

    Watch The Dark Knight. Then watch Catwoman. Then ask yourself "How the flying blue fuck did a film this bad get made?" It really is astonishing. This isn't even THE Catwoman, just some woman resurrected by a cat God or some shit. Marvel at the exciting action sequences, such as.....( read more).a ferris wheel that stops working...OH the humanity! It builds up to a climax that has Catwoman fight her arch nemesis...a beautician. She sure gives The Joker, Two Face and The Penguin a run for their money. Hall Berry is atrocious in this movie. I mean just plain, want to stab her with her Oscar, bad. Remember that awful line from X-Men,well here's a script where every line of dialogue is that bad. The CGI is more obvious than a kick in the nuts. Unfortunately this film is far more painful. Don't get me started on the costume. They should have just called this DominatrixWoman and replaced all the cats with sexual deviants. Pitof? More like "Fuck Off".

    I just saw a couple of minutes but it looked like a really bad joke. It's just like "Gigli": I haven't seen it so I think "Why does people hate this so much? Is it really THAT bad?"...
    With this one, I realized buzz is sometimes completely right.

    It gets a star and a half cause it's Halley...but the plot was weak, a good cast, but not much action or interest...Michelle Pfeiffer was the one and only...

    The outfit alone makes me not want to see it.

    Really, Halle Berry should have just stopped after this... Wait, she's not even put on the credits? That's hilarious, what a stupid cow.

Critic Reviews

Nick Schager, Lessons of Darkness

An avalanche of de-clawed idiocy. full review

July 24, 2004
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

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. full review

July 23, 2004
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

An odd, idiosyncratic movie -- dark in look and dark in spirit -- that plays as a kind of pop culture investigation into the meaning of feminism and the options open to women in the modern world. full review

July 23, 2004
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Tired and dated. full review

July 22, 2004
Claudia Puig, USA Today

The screenplay is flat and predictable, and bad dialogue prevails. full review

July 22, 2004
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

The stench of the litter pan is all over this big-screen $90 million disaster-in-waiting. full review

July 22, 2004
Edward Havens, FilmJerk.com

Those looking for anything approximating a storyline along with their jigglefest will just have to keep dreaming. full review

July 22, 2004
A.O. Scott, The New York Times

Directed by a Frenchman with the single, not uncatlike name of Pitof, Catwoman is a howlingly silly, moderately diverting exercise in high, pointless style. full review

    Ugh! This movie was horrible!!! It didn't follow the comics whatsoever. Not set in Gotham City, not the Catwoman backstory at all, no Bruce Wayne, her name isn't even Selina Kyle!!!
    -If you're gonna change EVERYTHING, at least make it GOOD!
