To be honest, I was disappointed with this movie. It’s not nearly as bad as I was hoping it would be. Fresh off of an Academy Award for Best Actress, Halle Berry decides to play a superhero, er, supervillain, er, what exactly is she? The results are not good.
In the Batman lexicon, Catwoman is Selina Kyle- a normal human being who has an obsession/fetish for cats and is (quirkily enough) a cat burglar, going around stealing jewels. In Catwoman, Catwoman is Patience Phillips- a normal human being who is killed and resurrected by cats to fight some injustice done against them. Oh, and she has weird unexplained superpowers like speed and strength too.
So what we’re really talking about here is a rip-off of The Crow series so the titular character is no longer a villain. It doesn’t take place in the Batman universe and it’s full of eye-rolling one-liners and unnecessary camera work. It’s a laughable affair and now that I’ve realized that it’s a rip-off of The Crow, I may indeed be able to give it a lower rating because any potential I thought it had was copied from another film. (**Note- the rating has now been lowered.)
Only watch this if you intend to watch something lame. Shadow puppets are more engaging.
