i hadn't seen catwoman until recently and the reason I avoided it like poison is because all the reviews I had read on it labelled it at a terrible film. Besides that I have a personal dislike for these comic-book based films, the only ones I like are the X-men films (whereas both Spider-man's bored me to death and the hulk made me lose faith in the way movies are written). However, boredom can drive people to doing strange and mysterious things, so when I was channel flicking, catwoman was just starting so I thought "what the heck!" and watched it.
First of all, the acting in this film is very campy and over the top, but then it was much better than I expected! Halle Berry does what she can with her character, but Sharon Stone made the movie for me! Stone is deliciously bitchy and evil which just works for me. Benjamin Bratt also does well with what he is given (i.e playing possibly the worst detective in movie history). I think Laurel and Hardy would make better detectives! The story is your basic super-hero plot. Weak but generally nice person has some sort of accident and is fused with animal/mutant powers and thus decides that saving the world from evil is the best career choice from now on. However our intrepid hero is misunderstood by the general public (surprise surprise) and is labelled a criminal.
Overall the film is silly but I rather enjoyed it! Who knows maybe you will too!!
