Any of you ever seen this infamous film starring Halle Berry and Sharon Stone? Has time been kind or unkind to it after 20 years? The movie that had Halle Berry herself come in person and pick up the Razzie awards that this movie earned. The director known as "Pitof" hasn't directed a theatrical film since this one. Leonard Maltin Movie Guide Review: Catwoman (2004) - 1.5 out of 4 stars
"Meek employee of a big cosmetics firm is murdered when she overhears incriminating evidence about a new face cream with gruesome side effects...but instead of dying she's resurrected as Catwoman and tries to bring the guilty parties to justice. Nonsensical story concept, illogical to the extreme, gives us a "heroine" who's scarcely worth rooting for. Berry does her best; Stone manages to be dull even while parodying herself as the lethal wife of the cosmetics manufacturer. Based on the D.C. comic book. Super 35."  |

3/10 Horribly made film with a really dumb plot. Its not completely boring I will give it that but its mostly just lame.

I wonder what that 1.5 star was for, vs giving it a bomb rating.

I actually saw this at the theater and back then didn't think it was that bad. It was dumb and silly, but then so are many films. It might well be, that I would have to revise my opinion though, assuming I would ever feel like rewatching it.

I remember how bad this apparently was and being really worried about how Batman Begins would be because of it. Turns out I was worried for nothing.

It wasn't particularly good, but I found it entertaining enough. Seen a helluva lot worse.

Roger Ebert said there are three good things about this move. Halle Berry’s face, Halle Berry’s body, and Halle Berry’s costume.

As Halle Berry’s Catwoman Turns 20, The Director Opens Up About The Broken Script, The Vicious Reviews, And Why Batman Wasn’t Part Of The Moviewww.yahoo.com/entertainment/halle-berry-catwoman-turns-20-134831624.html"I would say the problem of the movie was the script. The script, we all know, had been rewritten a thousand times. When we started the movie at the shoot, the script was not finished. We still kept writing the script while editing. So if I had six months (of additional time), I would've put six months before production. Not after!" "After the shoot, when we put the movie together, it didn't work because so much (had) changed during shooting. The pieces were not really fitting together. We had to rethink completely the whole edit, inverting scenes and adding new scenes. And we had a 10 day reshoot a month before release date! Which is insane! To fix all the little problems the script had. So I never had the option to have a director’s cut. It was more of, ‘Okay, how can we fix it?’" "The whole thing was to get away from the traditional Catwoman character costume. The first thing that everybody agreed to was a skin. This costume (would) show more skin than the others. That was my first input, when they asked me, ‘How do you see the costume?’ I said, ‘I want to see skin. I want to have this organic feeling of more like an animalistic thing.’ Even though she has leather, it's a mix with leather and skin." "We wanted Catwoman out of Batman's hand. We wanted to start something fresh. There were no other characters from the DC comics to bring, because otherwise you will bring something else. The thing was really to start something fresh and new with Catwoman, and then build new villains. So here, the whole thing was cosmetics. The villain was the cosmetics industry. It was more of a concept than one villain."
