a5c7b9f00b A shy woman, endowed with the speed, reflexes, and senses of a cat, walks a thin line between criminal and hero, even as a detective doggedly pursues her, fascinated by both of her personas.
Catwoman is the story of shy, sensitive artist Patience Philips, a woman who can't seem to stop apologizing for her own existence. She works as a graphic designer for Hedare Beauty, a mammoth cosmetics company on the verge of releasing a revolutionary anti-aging product. When Patience inadvertently happens upon a dark secret her employer is hiding, she finds herself in the middle of a corporate conspiracy. What happens next changes Patience forever. In a mystical twist of fate, she is transformed into a woman with the strength, speed, agility and ultra-keen senses of a cat. With her newfound prowess and feline intuition, Patience becomes Catwoman, a sleek and stealthy creature balancing on the thin line between good and bad. Like any wildcat, she's dangerous, elusive and untamed. Her adventures are complicated by a burgeoning relationship with Tom Lone, a cop who has fallen for Patience but cannot shake his fascination with the mysterious Catwoman, who appears to be responsible for a string of crime sprees plaguing the city.
Picked this up as a cheap DVD despite having read negative comments.<br/><br/>Certainly not good, but not as bad as the rating suggests. Come on folks, there&#39;s a lot worse than this around. It&#39;s good in parts but it doesn&#39;t hang together at all. Basically it&#39;s let down by a poor script.<br/><br/>A film such as this was always going to require a high profile star in the lead role and they don&#39;t come much more high profile than Halle. Sharon Stone does a decent job with her role, although she is capable of performing at a significantly higher level than was required here. Likewise Halle who with the right role is one of the finest actresses around.<br/><br/>Catwoman also needed to be an attractive, sexy person who &quot;looked the part&quot;. For this reason alone there was no better actress to undertake the role than Halle. She is one of the most beautiful actresses ever and would look good in a bin-bag, never mind the Catwoman outfit.<br/><br/>Both Halle and Sharon seem to have fun in their respective roles and they dominate the screen whenever they appear. The rest of the cast seem overwhelmed by them.<br/><br/>A fun movie which could and should have been better. It&#39;s saving grace is Halle and without her it would have been a real turkey.<br/><br/>Certainly worth a look.
Having read many horrendous &quot;reviews&quot; of Catwoman, I felt obliged to judge the movie from an objective viewpoint, if such a view was possible given all the negativity it engendered from sniping critics.<br/><br/>After watching Catwoman I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn&#39;t as bad as critics said it was. The film isn&#39;t brilliant or as inspired as the first Spider-man in terms of digital effects and storytelling, but it holds it own, during its best scenes as a distinctively feminine/feline action film. <br/><br/>Using the duality between passivity and aggression for Berry&#39;s character, Patience Phillips, and her feline alter-ego, Catwoman, was a shrewd move that invested the story with a moral ambiguity but the film itself is too shallow to properly explore what it sets up as Catwoman&#39;s conflicting inner core. <br/><br/>Berry plays the docile Patience Phillips with a fragility only she could do; while her sexuality, which so many critics derided as non-existent, is brought to the fore with her highly seductive Catwoman in S&amp;M attire. Rather than play Catwoman as solely as campy cartoon character, Berry exudes a typically feline sexuality - wily, sometimes amoral and vivacious. Moreover, she underscores her Catwoman voice with a gentle but suggestive cat-like intensity that is both alluring and slightly vampire-like in its soft undertone. <br/><br/>I think it was very unfair that she was maligned by critics for this role. She was clearly an inspired choice - as was Sharon Stone, who plays Catwoman&#39;s nemesis but she isn&#39;t used enough in the final cut of the film. The deleted scenes on the DVD reveals more scenes with Stone and it&#39;s a pity she wasn&#39;t given more screen time. <br/><br/>In the scenes she has, Stone is back in fine camp form playing a faded model-wife of the owner of a corrupt cosmetics company, played in a wonderfully camp performance by French actor Lambert Wilson. Wilson, it is fair to say, has the best lines, especially in his taut exchanges with his unhinged wife and his model mistress. Stone&#39;s delivery is self-consciously &quot;wooden&quot; in a good way. She probably knew the limitations of the script but she uses the somewhat wooden nature of her lines as a pastiche of the genre itself. Stone provides a striking counterpoint to Catwoman; she&#39;s a post-feminist villain whose vanity is as much a crime as her murderous deeds. <br/><br/>Many have said the effects are not as sophisticated as recent films. In some night scenes Catwoman&#39;s exaggerated movements are very cartoon-like - yet this criticism could also be leveled at Spider-man 1 and 2, where it is fairly obvious digital effects are at hand. In this sense, it seems unjust to criticize the effects in Catwoman as being out-dated. Some fight scenes have a wonderful intensity, and thankfully the film avoids slow-motion Matrix-style acrobatics. The final &quot;bitch&quot; fight is certainly worth the wait for fans of Dynastyesque cat fights.<br/><br/>What doesn&#39;t work? Benjamin Bratt as the romantic lead is awful. He has zero charisma and his scenes with Berry are embarrassingly bad, especially the scene playing basketball and in the fairground. Had these awful scenes been deleted I think Catwoman would have been a better film. Pitof - go back to the editing room now.<br/><br/>Sadly there won&#39;t be a sequel even if the film&#39;s climax suggests that was the intention. I hope this film becomes a cult classic. Catwoman- Resurrection here we come….or perhaps the director&#39;s cut minus Bratt.
Catwoman, which talks about the "duality" inside all women (wild vs. docile, rapacious vs. cuddly), does have its guilty pleasures. Most of these come courtesy of ice queen Stone.
Shy and meek-mannered Patience Phillips (<a href="/name/nm0000932/">Halle Berry</a>), working as a graphic designer for Hedare Beauty Cosmetics, is killed one night when she is caught in a waste pipe and flushed out into a river. She is brought back to life, however, by an Egyptian Mau, a temple cat sacred to the goddess Bast, that bestows upon her the speed, confidence, reflexes, and senses of a feline, turning her into the fierce and stealthy Catwoman. Although Catwoman tries to do good deeds, like saving a young boy on a broken ferris wheel, she is blamed for a string of crime sprees and is being investigated by Detective Tom Lone (<a href="/name/nm0000973/">Benjamin Bratt</a>) who also happens to be falling in love with Patience. But it&#39;s when she discovers a toxic little secret about Hedcare&#39;s line of beauty cream that things really become CATastrophic. The story and screenplay were written by American screenwriters John Brancato, Michael Ferris, John Rogers, and Theresa Rebeck, although the character of Catwoman is loosely based on the Selina Kyle/Catwoman created by DC Comics&#39; Bob Kane and Bill Finger, both of whom also created the character Batman. Catwoman&#39;s first appearance was in Batman #1 in Spring of 1940. No. Halle Berry&#39;s Catwoman is a completely different character named Patience Phillips. Selina Kyle, the Catwoman—as played by <a href="/name/nm0000201/">Michelle Pfeiffer</a>—is (very) briefly referenced via a photograph to link this movie to the Tim Burton film. Just as Laurel is about to shoot Tom, Catwoman shows up. She whips the gun from Laurel&#39;s hand and helps Tom get away, taking out two of Laurel&#39;s goons along the way. When Tom is safe, she returns for a final confrontation with Laurel, revealing her identity as Patience Phillips…the woman Laurel killed by flushing down the pipe. They begin to fight, but Catwoman is soon surprised to see that Laurel&#39;s skin is hard as marble and impervious to pain because of her use of Beau-Line, and Laurel eventually gets the upper hand, crashing Catwoman into a window and smashing her against the glass. Catwoman rallies and scratches Laurel&#39;s cheeks with her diamond claws, causing Laurel&#39;s skin to begin disintegrating. Laurel falls through the broken window but manages to grab on to a pole. As Catwoman reaches to pull her back up, Laurel&#39;s hand slips and she falls 20 stories to the ground, killing her. Catwoman is joined by Tom, who tells her that, if Patience was found in her jail cell in the morning, it would be awful hard to prove that she was Catwoman. Some days later, Tom receives a letter at work and, in a voiceover, Patience reads: The day I died was the day I started to live. In my old life, I longed for someone to see what was special in me. You did, and for that you will always be in my heart. But what I really needed was for me to see it. And now I do. You&#39;re a good man, Tom. You live in a world that has no place for someone like me. You see, sometimes I&#39;m good…very good. But sometimes I&#39;m bad, but only as bad as I want to be. Freedom is power. To live a life untamed and unafraid is the gift that I&#39;ve been given. And so my journey begins. In the final scene, Catwoman is shown walking along roof ledges, silhouetted in the moon and whipping around her whip. There have been no plans for a sequel to Catwoman. However, in May 2006, IGN&#39;s FilmForce quoted actress Halle Berry as saying, If they seriously said, &quot;We want to do another one and here&#39;s how we&#39;re going to make it better because we learned from the mistakes,&quot; I would because I believe we could make it better. I think Catwoman is a great character that maybe wasn&#39;t presented in the right way. But when people see it on video they seem to like it. They&#39;re like, &quot;It wasn&#39;t as bad as they all said!&quot; Despite this comment, it is highly unlikely that a sequel will ever be produced considering the film flopped at the box office and was subject to numerous negative reviews, while also never generating a &quot;cult following&quot; like some (often rather unique) box office failures have.
