Poffy The Cucumber's Movie Mania
Halle Berry brings her cat scratch fever to bear upon corporate villainy and meddling-cop lovers alike, with the style of an Egyptian priestess oozing Western sadomasochismo; a puss in boots by any other name. ...read the complete Catwoman movie review at Poffy The Cucumber's Movie Mania
Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) (Randy Shulman)
If movies were kitty litter, Catwoman would be the kind that doesn't absorb very well and fails to clump. And it would be stinky. Really, really stinky. ...read the complete Catwoman movie review at Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) (Randy Shulman)

Staggeringly bad filmmaking in nearly every conceivable way, its hard to imagine a more boilerplate costumed comic-book actioner than this DC Comics ripoff.
