Catwoman (2004)

CATWOMAN (2004) - AMC premiered this Saturday night and I watched it all the way through. Advertising graphic artist Hally Berry learns to much and is kill, but only to be brought back to life by a bunch of cats. Hally Berry's character over hears the boss talking about the adverse effects of their skin cream product with the lab specialist, so they kill her off. After the cats do something to her which isn't quite clear she suddenly has an appetite for fish and walks around on her furniture like a cat.  The Neighbors have loud parties and she goes into cat mode and convinces them to stop the loud noise. Catwoman also seem to like to go shopping after closing hours which brings her to the attention of a police detective who she beats at basketball with  all the city kids overjoyed. The detective starts to see the similarities between his new girlfriend and the Catwoman. All comes out well in the end as a power struggle ends badly within the cosmetics companies executives. The final encounter with Sharon Stones character is lame like the rest of the film. Hally Berry's poor cat fighting skills derive from the Brazilian Martial Art form called Capoeira according to the inside look into the film that AMC gave us.



(3 out of 10 Stars)The cat suit did better than the film. Guess it was made for urban city kids and a little extra added, so their might have reason to attend.

You need to add a "huh? what? -- never saw it, quickly forgot about it, but please post more pictures of Halle Berry in that suit" category.

I found myself laughing at the sheer camp dialogue of the film all the way through. I honestly don't think Berry does much with the "action hero" role.

On a similar topic, has anyone noticed that AMC doesn't seem to even be trying to play American movie classics anymore? Don't they know what a piece of box-office dropping this was?

Catwoman was written by someone who had seen Pumaman, as there are a few similarities.  The director, Pitof, only goes by one name, which is one name too many.  He is a fan of sweeping cityscape shots, and by the end of the film I was sick of them.  The film works much better if you are ignorant of Batman, but few are so the film just sucks even harder.  My review is here, but my site is hitting slowdowns so hopefully it responds.

Even though Halle looks good in the cat suit this movie is really bad so no, I do not like it.
Raj, as you requested, here's Halle as Catwoman

and here's one more

While Halle Berry in a skimpy outfit is a good thing in my book, that costume did nothing for me and IMO failed to bring out her beauty.

As for the movie, I caught ten minutes on HBO once.

I thought the exact same thing the other day.

This movie was made by people with ADD for people with ADD.
There are shots in this film that don't even last a half a second.

I heard that Halle Berry accepted her Razzie award in person and said that something to the effect that she would like to forget this "piece of sh*t movie".

We had a free HBO preview a year or so ago and I recorded this movie.  Never got around to watching it.  Was saving it for a rainy day but it just hasn't been rainy enough 

[clockworkcanary]

I hear they're making a sequel: Catwoman 2: Where the F*#k is Batman!

Just kidding.

[JPickettIII]

I will stick with the lady in leather in the Batman movie.  She was far more seductive and bad a$$. 

Halle Berry is HOT  , especially in Swordfish.

The movie stunk like a cat box.

I started to like her a bit more because of that.  Shows she's willing to laugh at herself. 

[Neville]

What a crappy movie! 

Sure Halle looked great on that costume, but she would also look good in a sack and I can't see her doing a movie abnout it. The script was crap, but I would have enjoyed the whole thing anyway if it wasn't for the headache-inducing camera work. Heard the director signs his movies as "Pitof". I would keep my real name out of them as well, dude.
