You’re left with flashes of mis-spent promise: the feline mysticism; the cosmetics-industry intrigue; the idea of electrocuting Lambert Wilson’s unctious corporate cad.

For about 40 minutes Catwoman is campy, trashy and fun. Then it's just trash: dull and depressingly empty.

Badly directed, horribly scripted, dismal mess of a film that is every bit as bad as you’ve heard. Poor, poor Halle Berry.

This is only worth seeing if you can handle shallow characters and dull, plastic action scenes for the sake of unintentional laughs.

Gratuitous action, ill-defined characters, goofy plot. And moments when it's great fun.

An almost unmitigated disaster, this major studio production with a major star in the lead (the Oscar-winning Halle Berry) comes across like a direct-to-video production, complete with ultra lame computer-generated effects and clueless direction ...

Much better than it had to be and a lot better than many Internet critics, eager to hate it, wanted it to be.

'Claro ejemplo de la forma en que no se debe gastar el dinero en caprichos de productores a los que les importa un comino la inteligencia de la audiencia'

No other Catwoman has looked so good in a cat suit. Beyond that, the whole affair is pretty dumb, even by the goofy standards of superhero flicks.

If 'The star has a great rack!' is the best one can say for a movie, it better be a porno.

I thought Mr. Kitty would have a hard time keeping up with the plot, but he's coughed up hair- balls that were more complex.

The story isn’t bad, but the script (for which three people get credit, John Brancato & Michael Ferris and John Rogers, always a bad sign) is occasionally bromidic.

She stands on ledges, peering at all the buildings, or at the moon ... she might be hoping one of those places holds a better script.
