Review of Catwoman

Catwoman (2004)
7/10
Did I see the same movie?
16 August 2004
This film has been almost universally panned by critics and viewers alike. But what did they expect for a story about a catwoman? Ingmar Bergman? Subtle philosophical debates? Profound insights? Come on, get real!

This is a tongue-in-cheek film that is excellent entertainment - it was never meant to change the world. Halle Berry is sexy and sensual as Catwoman, the cityscape scenes are breathtaking, particularly the one from across the water at night when Patience is 'reborn', and there's a light-hearted and humorous touch that works well.

OK, a few scenes are embarrassing, especially the dancefloor and the volleyball ones, the special effects could have been better, and there could have been a greater sense of urgency and threat. And we could have seen a bit more of Halle Berry in that catsuit!

But there's a brilliant scene where the handwriting analyst concludes that Patience and Catwoman aren't the same person, because Patience's handwriting signifies a shy person with low self-esteem, whereas Catwoman's is the opposite. And overall the movie is FUN!! Lighten up, people!
