Patience Philips (Halle Berry) seems destined to spend her life apologizing for taking up space. Despite her artistic ability -- she has a more than respectable career as a graphic designer for Hedare... read more read more... Beauty, a Goliath cosmetics company -- Patience is excruciatingly shy, quick to take blame, and, not surprisingly, more than a little depressed at the end of the day. This comes to somewhat of a screeching halt when Patience not only inadvertently lands herself in the middle of a corporate conspiracy of gargantuan proportions, but on the city police force's most wanted list. Newly quipped with a mysterious feline prowess, Patience is a different person come nighttime -- more accurately, a catwoman. Elusive, untamed, powerful, stealthy, and not necessarily prone to erring on the side of good, Patience has gone from doormat to vigilante. Police officer Tom Lone (Benjamin Bratt), who has fallen for shy Patience, is determined to apprehend Catwoman and figure out her role in a recent crime spree, though his fascination with her doesn't cease with the end of his shift and it threatens to lead to the downfall of himself, his investigation, and the woman who was once the timid Patience Philips. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

    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 watchi... read moreng 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!"

    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 com... read moreing 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 ... read morea 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... read more 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!

    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 fil... read morem 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"

    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.

This is barely a film -- it's more like a music video-slash- TV-commercial- slash-computer game. Full Review

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

Catwoman is dragged down by a paper-thin story, the predictable number of fight scenes executed at equally predictable intervals and stock, unmemorable characters. Full Review

Mick LaSalle

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
