Average Rating:3.1/10

Consensus: Halle Berry is the lone bright spot, but even she can't save this laughable action thriller.

Rated: 12A [See Full Rating] for action violence and some sensuality

Runtime: 1 hr 44 mins

Genre: Action/Adventure

Theatrical Release:12-08-2004

Synopsis: Patience Philips is a shy, reserved young woman who wants to be an artist but instead is a designer for an advertising company. She is mousy and lacking in self-esteem even when she gets her big... Patience Philips is a shy, reserved young woman who wants to be an artist but instead is a designer for an advertising company. She is mousy and lacking in self-esteem even when she gets her big break to work on the launch of a major beauty product for her mean-spirited, ruthless boss. But a series of events initiated by a mysterious cat results in her discovering a terrifying secret that leads to her murder. That same cat breathes new life into her, creating a strong, brave woman within her that wrestles with her previous self for control of her mind and body--a body that can now do amazing things. Academy Award winner Halle Berry is captivating as Patience, a female superhero for the 21st century. She is fearless as she seeks revenge on the people who killed her, and she attempts to save the public from the release of a dangerous product. As the Catwoman side of her battles George Hedare (Lambert Wilson) and his wife, Laurel (Sharon Stone), who he has decided is now too old to be the face of his company, the Patience side of her gets involved with hot cop Tom Lone (Benjamin Bratt), who is caught in the middle of her two-sided personality. First-time director Pitof keeps things moving at a fast pace, with quick cuts, sweeping camerawork, and pounding music. Alex Borstein provides comic relief as Patience's best friend, and SIX FEET UNDER's Frances Conroy plays a cat lady who knows the secret history of felines through the ages. [More]

The movie is deadening because it's visually and aurally overdone in a lazy, scattershot manner.

[The early] segments of the film are deadly dull, but once Berry suits up, the movie enters MST3K territory and never looks back.

The kind of movie that almost guarantees the loss of a few I.Q. points.

If you're going to junk the character, then why not just flip through a dictionary and pick a new animal altogether -- say, Aardvarkwoman, or Buffalogal?

It’s not nearly as awful as Batman & Robin, but it’s worse off than, say, Steel. So you can see we’re in a fairly terrible area here.

Los fans del personaje se tendrán que enfrentar (duramente) al hecho de que se trata de una versión –muy- libre que la aleja del todo de Batman.

Eww, it smells like cats in here. Not that I don't love cats, but I don't want my supposed-to-be sleek and stylish comic-book movies reeking like that.

If you’re a drag queen and loved "Showgirls," your newest source of inspiration has arrived. Everyone else: Skip it!

[Berry] is giving a performance much too earnest to have been intentionally campy, setting herself up as a veritable shoo-in for this year's 'Worst Actress' Razzie. Me-ouch!

This is barely a film -- it's more like a music video-slash- TV-commercial- slash-computer game.

An adolescent fantasy run amok that owes more to drummer Peter Criss than to Julie Newmar.

Catwoman is not necessarily the year’s worst movie, but it is 2004’s most pathetic.
