I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

... View MoreI fell in love when I saw this movie for the first time. I was about 10 years old. Halle Berry was damn hot and deserves my 10!
... View MoreReading all these shameful one star reviews I was expecting a truly terrible film with bad acting and dialogue and a confusing ridiculous story line. Well I was shocked at how it wasn't bad in any area. This was a very enjoyable lighthearted film trying to catpture a little of the style and spirit of the original 60's series. Maybe people were expecting a Christopher Nolan type film that takes itself overly serious but I'm very glad that wasn't this film. This film was fun and entertaining and the IMDb rating is a disgrace. Watch some other films with that kind of low rating and you'll soon see the difference between a bad film and this. 8/10
... View More...that it is just bad.A star celebration for Barre's body in a leather catsuit... no acting ability required and nothing worth mentioning delivered. Writing poor, humor not even up to sophomoric levels. Cinematography amateurish. Special effect poor by even 20 year old standards. Plot non existent. Directing apparently done by an overly hormonal teen male. High point(if there is one)...Barre looks good in the catsuit.Free on Netflix and still way over priced.
... View MoreCatwoman (2004) * (out of 4) Patience Phillips (Halle Berry) is a rather clumsy and socially awkward woman who is pushed around at her job. One day she witnesses something she shouldn't have and she's murdered. Before long she's brought back to life by a mysterious cat and soon after that she's fighting crime as the title character.CATWOMAN is a film that I've wanted to check out since its original release simply because the reviews were so bad and the film become somewhat notorious for how bad it is. It took me thirteen-years to finally see it and I wish I would have waited another thirteen. There are all sorts of issues with this film but I must start off by saying that Berry is a very beautiful woman and the film does a nice job at showing off her body. With that said, if there was ever a comic book movie screaming for a R-rating this was it.As I said, there are countless problems with this film but I guess we can start with Berry. As the Patience character I thought she was pretty good as she did a good job at playing the sillier side of the character. She was believable in the part but all of this changes when she became Catwoman. There are countless problems with the character itself including some really lame one-liners as well as Berry's delivery. The cat sounds she makes is just embarrassing and I couldn't help but feel bad for Berry because she's the one being embarrassed.Benjamin Bratt is okay in the role of the love interest but Sharon Stone is downright awful in her role. Again, perhaps I shouldn't blame the actress too much because the screenplay is very poor. With that said, there's no doubt that Stone's character is one of the worst villains in film history. Not just comic book film history but film history in general. Her entire scheme is just lame and it doesn't help that you're never threatened by her.The screenplay is full of issues but the direction by Pitof isn't any better. The wannabe fast, MTV-style editing is just lame and I'd argue that there's no one well-directed scene in the picture. Just take a look at the ferris wheel sequence or a really embarrassing basketball game. Two really awful scenes but there are more scattered throughout. CATWOMAN is a pretty darn embarrassing movie all around.
