Thoughts }}}
Catwoman. A woman who is fearless, and the woman version of Batman. This movie, however, is a letdown. It sucks so much, that the only thing that could keep you up is the leather outfit she wears. This does not follow the story that most are accustomed with, not the Selina Kyle story. It follows a new Catwoman, aptly named Patience Philipps. She's not stylish, and she's such a pushover. That's it. She turns into Catwoman, and for a long period of time in the movie she doesn't accept her new "powers."
I won't reveal too much of the plot, but you can probably predict it yourself. As with every hero movie, she wins in the end. The only thing that was going for this movie was Halle Berry. I give it to her, she gave it her best shot. It was a good performance from the actors, but the story itself was cliched. It wasn't as intriguing as, oh let's say, Spider-Man. Don't waste your money on this movie, go watch Spider-Man Two instead.
