The film is actually considered a sequel to Batman Returns. The film stars Halle Berry as Catwoman and is directed by ‘Pitof’ whose CV boasts of directing visual effects in other major films. However, the special effects in this film are not even worth mentioning. 2004 has seen releases of many superhero films and hence people were eagerly waiting for this film. But we were in for a rude shock.

There is no one to doubt the talent of Halle Berry; so when everyone saw her playing the titular role everyone was optimistic. But then you cannot blame the actress if the script itself is so bad. The chain of events in which Patience Philips dies was already seen in Batman Returns. Only this time we see a new version of the sequence of events. Patience overhears a plan that a new skin cream will be launched in the market. The women cannot stop using this cream ‘coz if they stop it will have adverse effects. She is eventually bumped off by the men hired by the cosmetics company.

Patience Philips comes back to life again through the blessings of an ancient cat belonging to the Egyptian era. With the help of her new found cat like abilities, Patience now goes after the company boss played by Sharon Stone. There are some good moments in the film though. The comic acting of Alex Borstein as Sally, Patience’s co-worker is a welcome relief in the film. Her love interest, Tom Lone (Benjamin Bratt), also turns in a credible performance. The action part of the film is entertaining though slightly vestigial in nature.

The Catwoman movie has no real entertainment value. The film is definitely a low budget production from the stables of the Warner Bros. Probably they hoped that people will flock to the cinema halls to catch a glimpse of Halle Berry and the production company will make money in the process.

The scriptwriter of the Catwoman movie should be sent to the gallows for even thinking of writing this one. However, the film does become watchable whenever Benjamin Bratt enters the scene. The powers exhibited by the Catwoman are probably the worst of all. It fails to incite any awe or excitement from the viewers. The main fault in the film lies with the storyline. The whole action revolves around some beauty products. This is totally unthinkable. To top it all the action scenes in the film are very appalling to say the least. This is probably the most pathetic movie of 2004. It’s hard to believe that this is the same year which gave us a movie called Torque. There are films which are worse than this and there would be many which would be as lousy as this film but the manner in which Warner Bros ahs promoted this sick movie has really surprised us all.

Among the performances or rather the lack of it, Halle Berry is definitely the worst. Is this the same Oscar winning actress? I am shocked. She is a total misfit for this role. She looks embarrassing in that feline suit. The company Boss, Sharon Stone is no better. The less said about her acting the better.

There is no point in wasting time to watch this movie at a theater. I don’t recommend renting a DVD either. I suggest that you watch Catwoman online free and enjoy it if you can.
