Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)

59

Most of the movie has the cruddy lighting and generic, death-by-franchise atmosphere of a third-rate spectacle that's been worked over by too many hacks.

Directed by a Frenchman with the single, not uncatlike name of Pitof, Catwoman is a howlingly silly, moderately diverting exercise in high, pointless style.

Claudia Puig USA Today (Top Critic)

The screenplay is flat and predictable, and bad dialogue prevails.

Ann Hornaday Washington Post (Top Critic)

Catwoman is dragged down by a paper-thin story, the predictable number of fight scenes executed at equally predictable intervals and stock, unmemorable characters.

Silly and misfired.

Watching [Halle Berry] run around in that getup I felt embarrassed, the way I do for people who put on makeup before climbing a StairMaster -- it's too much.

Mark Holcomb Village Voice (Top Critic)

This plodding, by-the-numbers superhero flick has all the feline grace of a walleyed mastiff.

A movie needs more than a few sexual innuendos and throaty purrs to keep us from taking a catnap.

You'd never know Berry is an Oscar-winning actress -- her performance as Patience is downright amateurish.

Any way you look at it, Catwoman disappoints.

The Showgirls of superhero movies.

Obviously, no one involved in this disaster cares anything at all about Catwoman.

Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer (Top Critic)

Awful adaptation of the comic-book character created by Batman's Bob Kane.

Jeff Strickler Minneapolis Star Tribune (Top Critic)

The movie suffers from the opposite of a syndrome affecting most comic-book spin-offs.

Catwoman is fully as terrible as you guessed it might be.

Bill Muller Arizona Republic (Top Critic)

This wretched film is nothing but an excuse to show [Halle Berry] wearing that skimpy leather suit.

Rex Reed New York Observer (Top Critic)

The kind of movie that almost guarantees the loss of a few I.Q. points.
Full Review » 8 years ago
David Rooney Variety (Top Critic)

Plays like a Lifetime movie on estrogen overdose, barely held together by a script that should have been tossed out with the kitty litter.

Lou Lumenick New York Post (Top Critic)

25

A purr-fectly ridiculous and boring cat-astrophe.

Jay Boyar Orlando Sentinel (Top Critic)

Arguably the worst superhero film ever made.

Every odorous frame before and after [the 'outfit'] can be safely consigned to the litter box.

Stephanie Zacharek Salon.com (Top Critic)

Instead of basking in the considerable charms Berry has to offer, the director, Pitof ... treats them like accessories to the picture's flashy, senseless cutting and overused special effects.
