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.

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 crowd who hated the movie before they even saw it.

All the actors delivered fine performances. I especially liked the tie-in with the history of cats, which lent credibility to the plot. One of my favorite scenes is actually not of Halle as catwoman but when Patience (revived) and Lone play basketball - it looked really cool.

I read what Halle said about the movie when accepting her Razzie - although I believe she didn't really mean it (besides what else could she say) especially since she later said she would consider doing a sequel. I say 'bring it on' WB!

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 fashion giant falls victim to conditions that transform her into hot sexy Catwomen. Evil Corporate giant has karma (revenge) served up a la underdog style by Catwoman. It really was fun to watch and I hope you will at least give it a chance.

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 fault but I hate choppy movies ex. Moulin Rouge etc...

Soundtrack, horrible. I hate the whole pussycat doll wailing in the background. Would have been better just classical film soundtrack.

Costume, the mask was ugly, the pants were ok I guess don't like the bell bottom look. I agree with others that the costume she wore at the jewelry store was much better. I liked seeing her hair and the mask was cute.

So finally her acting. It was great, you people associate everything horrible in the movie with her but it's not her fault. Her acting was not bad at all. The dialogue and corny lines are the faults. But again not all her lines were bad.

She had the cool right cat attitude. Her movements were great, specially when she wakes up from death, just like a cat watching and playing with something. Her changes from geek to cool to bad were right on and her emotions were shown when needed.

So my challenge to the makers in hollywood is to give Catwoman another chance. Do a remake like the hulk with Halle even. Or make her play Catwoman in the next Batman movie, she deserves a chance.

Same thing for Mr. Freeze, re do him and make us forget Arnold playing him. :-)

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 strives to stop them and eventually goes into a full battle with the sole creator, a wild and evil mastermind woman.

I did not like the plot. See, the problem with movies is that if you have a powerful good guy (or girl, in this case) you must have a powerful villian to match their every move in battle. The evilness in this movie was weak and very unlogical. The cream turned her skin to marble- oh, I'm so scared because a powerul catwoman is battling a lady with tough skin! See? That's why this movie wasn't very good and why Spiderman 2 rocked!
The parts with her lover are awkward and too long and predictable. You knew that eventually she'd trip up and he'd discover her kitty life and they'd be grieved over their love, as they must separate in the end.

The two things I did like were-
1: Ever heard of the excellent cat series called Warriors, warrior cats, by Erin Hunter? Well, a movie is probably coming out in the next three years using computer graphics to operate the cats. Well, this movie was very cat-related and I loved the CG cats. That was awesome!

2: The ironic scene where our kitty hero walks off into the moonrise, instead of your classic man hero walking off into the sunset. I liked that.

Overall, it's okay to rent and watch twice, but otherwise not good enough to buy. Fairly good acting, though predictable, great CG cats!!!!!
Sincerely,
~Moonwhisker~
