Product Description
From Amazon.com
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

Embarrassing,
By
This review is from: Catwoman (Widescreen Edition) (DVD)
Shy and downtrodden graphic designer Patience Phillips (Halle Berry) works for a cosmetics empire headed by Laurel Hedare (Sharon Stone). When Patience inadvertently discovers the firm's new 'Beau-line' causes hideous deformities, she is subsequently killed. But an apparently magical Egyptian Mao cat breathes new life into her, endowing Patience with the speed, agility and senses of a feline -- and so Catwoman is born. Since she cannot remember what happened to her, the now confident superhero sets out to discover who killed her and why.As the title character, Berry is passable playing two sides of the same woman, and the slinky costume she creates shows her figure to great advantage. Stone puts in a good effort as the tough-as-nails CEO, but once again proves she will never be an accomplished thespian. Benjamin Bratt plays a detective and love interest for Patience, but there is clearly no chemistry between them. Lambert Wilson as Stone's husband is aggravating, but MadTV's Alex Borstein is amusing as Berry's best friend. Directed by French special effects guru Pitof in his first Hollywood film, Catwoman pales in comparison to other comic-book adaptations like Spiderman. The entire movie seems to have been thrown together with little thought. The deficient screenplay has gaping plot holes, with no suspense or wonder, and Catwoman's coy remarks quickly become tiresome. As Patience unravels the clues behind her murder, it would have been more interesting for the audience to assemble them along with her. However, it is interesting to note that this Catwoman is supposedly one in a long line of reborn femme fatales (including Selina Kyle as played by Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns). Catwoman is a weak movie that fails to offer anything new or stimulating; even the special effects are second-rate. Although Warner is hoping it will become a new lucrative franchise, this kitty doesn't deserve nine lives. Rating: 3 out of 10.

purrfect; for the trash,
By A Customer
This review is from: Catwoman (Widescreen Edition) (DVD)
Catwoman is a tricky character to put on the big screen, especially as the lead character. The film-makers were not up to the challenge, I am afraid to say. This seemed more like the Eartha Kitt Catwoman rather than the one currently in DC Comics. This Catwoman is not intelligent, witty, or clever making her seem like a floozy rather than a powerful female heroine, or villain depending on her disposition. Tacky, cheesy, and boring with no real villain to deal with, this film seems to drag on forever, but fortunately it does not. They may take away Halle Berry's Oscar for this terrible performance. The main problem is that they tried to turn Catwoman into Spiderman, except Catwoman is nothing like the webcrawler. They should have made a gritty crime drama, but studio execs wanted something fluffy and easy for the mass public to digest, which translates to crap.
