Movie Review: Catwoman

Alright, I'll admit it. I would pay the cost of a movie ticket just to watch Halle Berry put away her groceries. So it was a safe bet that I would line up at the theatre Friday night to see Catwoman.

Alright, I'll admit it. The movie was bad. At best. [Editor's Update Mar 2007: Catwoman ended up on the 2007 'worst 100 reviewed movies list' at rottentomatoes.com]

I was disappointed in the silly mask they made her wear; I would have preferred something less complicated, just a pair of ears perhaps (Like Josie and the Pussycats). Anyways, the plot was poor, even for a comic-book plot. The need for them to show the genesis of the Catwoman character ruined the movie with its cheesiness.

The sets were fine. I liked the cameras moving through the sets, and the transitions from C.G. to real life were imperceptible. I thought the casting was spot on, Sharon Stone for the villanness was a good call.

I went in hoping for good and expecting fair, and I was still disappointed. I really wanted this to be a better movie than it was, I guess what landed this movie in the sandbox was the script and (it pains me to point it out) the acting of Halle Berry.

On a similar note, I bought the video game by the same name, hoping for a better plot and better acting. Unfortunately it is completely unplayable.

Meow on,
