  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… More
  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 CROW: protagonist is murdered by antagonist, protagonist is revived by animal, protagonist seeks disguise with an identity named after that animal, protagonist goes out and makes every attempt to kill antagonist. The idea was great in that film, and it could have been here, had there not been a few major failures. The music, for one, is excruciating. From this movie, we can draw a lesson that should have already been obvious: never use modern R&B music as a soundtrack for an action movie. It seems sometimes these people forget what kind of a genre they're working with. In the love scenes, we hear the naturally slow R&B music. At least it gets faster and heavier when the action sequences come, but there's no way I can give credit to such a distraction. Another quality that ruins the action sequences is the dialogue. We have the classic "you thought that was a purrrrr-fect idea" quote that has been around since the character's creation, but Halle Berry looks like an impersonator rather than the actual character when she delivers the line. Furthermore, you know you've been cinematically screwed when you hear this: "Game over." "Guess what? It's overtime!" http://themoviefreakblog.WordPress.com/2012/04/02/review-catwoman

  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.… More
  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 hero movies. I dont know why I really enjoyed this movie. 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 it was that it did or how, but it entertained me.

  I am glad the public share my opinion that this is truly the worst comic-book film of all time, a pathetic moment for Halle Berry, her continuation in the film industry was a shock to me after her despicable performance, and it just goes to show that Alex Borstein should stay as a voice actor in Family Guy, which in my opinion is no better than this film.

  Catwoman is a sultry, sexy and above all cool character...except in this film. It is as awful as everyone says it is. I wonder how much screen time the real Halle Berry actually has because most of the film seems to be of a poorly animated bobble-headed cartoon of her. Compare it to… More
  Catwoman is a sultry, sexy and above all cool character...except in this film. It is as awful as everyone says it is. I wonder how much screen time the real Halle Berry actually has because most of the film seems to be of a poorly animated bobble-headed cartoon of her. Compare it to Nolan's Batman films and obviously it fails miserably, compare it to a piece of rotting cat food and still it doesn't compete! Avoid, even and especially if your a Batman fan!

  Unnecessary.

  Like one of those music videos that have absolutely nothing to do with the song itself (Lady Gaga's "Telephone" might be a current example) this one is visual cotton candy but empty.

  Wow. I was stunned watching this movie. It was mesmerized. I was in awe. How in the hell can a studio make a film that is sort of a spin off to a dead franchise, yet has nothing to do with the rebooted franchise. That's the first major problem with this film. How can you do a film featuring a Batman villain without Batman? You can't. It will fail every time. The other major problem is the film is crap. I'm talking legendary crap. From 2004 on people have said "I'm going to go take a Catwoman!" when going to the bathroom to defecate. The plot is silly as hell with Catwoman (Halle Berry) being resurrected by cats after being murdered by a poor man's Bond villain (Sharon Stone) who runs an evil cosmetics company. Yes, I said evil cosmetics company. Shit. Pure shit. So she's Catwoman. Revenge. The end. I have never seen such putrid garbage. Shot like a crap MTV video with seizure like qualities, there is no direction in this film. Just a bunch of cuts with crappy acting and even crappier characters. This film is such a waste of time, money, neurons, anything that went into this film was a waste. Somewhere in this world someone died in a car accident going to see Catwoman and that is the worst fucking tragedy in the world. No, there is another tragedy. Dying on the way home from seeing Catwoman.

  mmm I dont know where to begin. Perhaps it was my "detest" for Catwoman. Halle Berry was not bad in her role infact I think it was one of her great perfomance but there was something bothering me in the Movie, the plot maybe or the fact it was "Catwoman" Catwoman… More

  I enjoyed the first half hour, and the last half hour! the rest was completely terrible!

  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...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".

  Actually, I heard a lot of bad things about this movie, like how this movie could end up in winning Razzie awards for Best Picture and Best Actress for Halle Berry, but I still wanted to see this movie... The truth is, yes it is true that this movie was bad, but not as horrible as I ever heard... If it's compared with what Michelle Pfeiffer did as Catwoman in Batman Returns, yes it's true that Halle Berry totally sucks in this movie, especially for an Academy Awards winning actress... She didn't go 'crazy' as Michelle Pfeiffer do when she gets reborn, she just looks like a woman with two personality, it's a different perception... Yet Halle Berry acts really horrible, she deserved winning a Razzie awards for this performance... The truth is she is did not pretty bad as Catwoman, at least she still got the sexy style... But her sexy was got because of her body which is sexy, not like Michelle Pfeiffer which is not sexy but because of she going crazy and so tempting, she becomes sexy in a superhero way... The Catwoman costumes itself just too sexy I think, looks like they want to sell the beauty of Halle Berry here, not the story of this movie which is pretty horrible for me... Having Benjamin Bratt or Sharon Stone not really helping for me, but at least their performance in this movie better than Halle Berry did... The only good thing about this movie is at least they told the history of a Catwoman, the other thing just sucks...

  I'm gonna be honest...I was execting the worst...but it wasn't so bad though it felt a lot like a Spider-Man rip-off

• E.J. B

  
  Umm, I don't know what to say.

• Robert C

  
  I wanted to like this as it is a GREAT character, it could have been GREAT! But not even Halle Berry could save this stinker.

• Dan S

  
  I've seen enough of it to say its awful. Really awful

• Taylor B

  
  Bout to slap Halle Berry upside the face

• Lewis C

  
  An entertaining disaster, but a disaster non-the-less.

• Jose Z

  
  cant believe how some people can ruin an excellent story with a pathetic ,lam anf very bad acted movie. I had alot of expectation in this movie and ended dissapointing me

• Drew S

  
  I saw this in theaters and I hate myself for it. At least my friends and I got a few laughs out of this piece of shit. Halle Berry, as I've said before, is one of the most overrated actresses in Hollywood right now.
