"Despite its feline pretensions, Catwoman belongs to another animal family -- it's either a dog or a turkey. Take your pick." -- James Berardinelli, REELVIEWS

"The Showgirls of superhero movies." -- Robert K. Elder, CHICAGO TRIBUNE

"So bad that I actually recommend you see it. It's the movie you and your friends will rip on all summer long." -- James Brundage, FILMCRITIC.COM

"Catwoman has all the appeal of a hairball." -- Jeffrey Bruner, DES MOINES REGISTER

"Those looking for anything approximating a storyline along with their jigglefest will just have to keep dreaming." -- Edward Havens, FILMJERK.COM

"...makes me long for the quiet dignity of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s performance in Batman and Robin."
-- Jeffrey Lyles, GAZETTE (MD)

"French director Pitof exhibits an approach to filmmaking as one-dimensional and pretentious as his own name." -- Jon Niccum, LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD

"The stench of the litter pan is all over this big-screen $90 million disaster-in-waiting." -- Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE

"I've never cared much for cats anyway, but this clinches it. Next time I see one, I'm going to kick it into the river." -- Eric D. Snider, ERICDSNIDER.COM

"Catwoman is destined not for a Mystery Science Theater 3000 fate but for immortality as one of the subtlest, most thorough parodies I've ever seen." -- Lawrence Toppman, CHARLOTTE OBSERVER

1. And all because Berry wanted more screentime in X-Men 2.

2. I think that may be insulting to "Showgirls"

Gotta give it up for the hometown guy though.

"You'd never know Berry is an Oscar-winning actress -- her performance as Patience is downright amateurish."
-- Eric Harrison, HOUSTON CHRONICLE

4. I saw 2 reviews refer to Showgirls.

You know it's bad if it's compared to such a stinker of a movie.

6. "Showgirls" set the bar for camp/trash/exploitation films

It's a very, very low bar, but a bar nonetheless.

11. There's a new Showgirls VIP edition DVD coming out!

For real!

I want it just for the "Pin the Pasties on the Showgirl" game. Complete with blindfold and pasties!

12. SHOWGIRLS - best "so bad it's good" movie ever

Sadly, it appears Catwoman is "so bad, it's bad". :(

3. Headline in print edition of Chicago Sun-Times:

"Four Star Body, One Star Movie" (Ebert)

[mvd]

8. And Ebert's been positive lately

That about does it for me. I don't have any interest in this movie. Also, Halle Berry is attractive, but I can think of a lot of celebs who are more attractive to me.

5. It does not suprise me...

I don't know what it is but I find her acting skills very shallow...almost cardboard-like. She is beautiful but you have to be more than beautiful to be a good actress....

7. "The stench of the litter pan..."

LOL - that'a great analogy. Too bad this had to suck, Catwoman has always been one of my greatest heroines. I always hated that sanctimonious Batman and his silly Robin. I cheered for Catwoman every time.

9. "CATWOMAN sucks, but not to completion" - Harry Knowles

10. The previews for this movie even suck

Halle Berry sometimes can act (Jungle Fever) and sometimes can't. This is one of the times where her acting leaves something to be desired.

Personally, I didn't like her acting in the movie she won an Oscar for. She seemed to be trying too hard.

13. I feel so bad about DU-er CatWoman's less than successful movie debut

I've started a condolances thread. Since she was humble enough not to inundate us with posts about her movie debut, I think she deserve some support from her fellow DU-ers!
