The director, whose name is Pitof, was probably issued with two names at birth and would be wise to use the other one on his next project.
I hadn't read such excellent sarcasm since the opening of Pearl Harbor.

this quote from rottentomatoes gave me a chuckle:

I'm amazed that it's at 12%. Envy and The Whole Ten Yards still own the bottom of the barrell, I suppose.

I'm all for giving every movie a chance, but there are a few movies that rub me so far the wrong way just with their trailers that I wish nothing but disaster for them. Gigli was one, Catwoman is another. In fact I didn't even need to see the trailer for Catwoman, just the ridiculous costume did it for me.

Halle really needs to start thinking about the roles she takes. Come on, you can do much better than this garbage.

Just got back from Catwoman. I used my free ticket that was in the BTAS DVD set.

I ... well... liked it ahaha. The cat costume looked not so flattering sometimes but some of the cat stuff Halle did was pretty funny. Halle was pretty hot when NOT in the costume, as in, I guess, human clothes? Really, she is just not appealing in the costume, which is why it makes sense that her love interest likes her and not the kitty. heh But really, if I hear one more person say "how can she climb buildings in heels" I say A) Who can climb buildings in the first place and B) This is a "superhero" movie.

I went into this saying "ok I will just take this as an elseworlds Catwoman film" and by doing that, I was able to enjoy it. That being sad, I actually liked this more than Daredevil, Hulk, and Punisher.

No Batman Begins.

I got the Exorcist movie, Little Black Book, some movie set in Chicago 2057 that has weird creatures and dinosaurs, and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

Saw it. Loved it. The costume looked great.

No point in saying more at this board.

No Batman Begins at mine either. But I did get "Hero" along with Exorcist, Black Book, and the Ed Burns sci-fi/time travel movie. Can't remember if there were any others.

I thought I was prepared for the suckitude that this movie would wrought, but I so wrong in that assessment.

Holy mother of Murgatroyd, this movie was rancid. It was so bad that I didn't even mind the 2 babies who cried throughout the movie.

I give it 1/2 star, or a grade of D-.

Dont' worry, her career will bounce back just like Lou Gossett Jr.'s did.

I was thinking, "Did any of these actors/actresses really need the money this badly to appear in this turd of a movie?"

Odds are someone would like the movie, and if was able to entertain someone, then it wasn't a waste. Not to mention I got to see it for free.
