- 67Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanI wouldn't call Catwoman incompetent, yet it has no visual grandeur, and very little surprise; you can tick off the story beats as if they'd been graphed.
- 50Dallas ObserverGregory WeinkaufDallas ObserverGregory WeinkaufMuch like a cat, the movie is a superfluous gob of fluff with an attitude ranging from idiotic to nasty.
- 38Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaPhiladelphia InquirerSteven ReaCatwoman, which talks about the "duality" inside all women (wild vs. docile, rapacious vs. cuddly), does have its guilty pleasures. Most of these come courtesy of ice queen Stone.
- 30Village VoiceMark HolcombVillage VoiceMark HolcombLike the action movies of yore (you know, the 1980s), Catwoman is simultaneously overstuffed and undernourished.
- 30The New York TimesDana StevensThe New York TimesDana StevensA howlingly silly, moderately diverting exercise in high, pointless style.
- 30L.A. WeeklyScott FoundasL.A. WeeklyScott FoundasWhat the movie needs is a director, and what it gets instead is Pitof, a French visual-effects maestro so much fonder of technological wizardry than of human flesh that he manages to turn even his slinky, sinuous star attraction into a digitized synthespian frolicking about endless CGI cityscapes.
- 25ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliA catastrophe. This motion picture is an embarrassment to all involved.
- 25Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanCharlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanPitof can be blamed for the 89-cent digitized sets, the jerky or rubbery special effects, some clunky performances and more continuity errors than I could count.
- 25Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittChristian Science MonitorDavid SterrittCartoonish effects and overacting make this more corn than catnip.
