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

David Stratton At the Movies (Australia) Bereft of excitement and with action scenes similar to those we've seen a dozen times before, this is a very poor effort indeed. Rated: 1/5 Jun 29, 2015 Full Review Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader The screenplay's a hodgepodge of witchcraft, ancient Egyptian lore, pulp feminism, and a dash of S&M. May 3, 2014 Full Review Joe Morgenstern Wall Street Journal Catwoman's director, a visual-effects specialist named Pitof, is not contained by the rules of filmmaking. Scenes that make sense? Nonsense. Characters with inner lives? Utterly passe. May 2, 2014 Full Review Brian Gill Mad About Movies Podcast I love(d) basketball more than anything in the world until I watched the basketball scene in Catwoman. Now I hate basketball. Rated: F Sep 2, 2020 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Catwoman - makes me want to go me-ooooooooowwwwwwwwww. It can't slink from theatres fast enough for me. Nov 7, 2019 Full Review Andrea Thompson The Spool If there was ever a movie capable of stopping years of progress in its tracks, this would be the one. Jul 29, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Loved this movie. Can't believe the negative reviews on it. Then to top it off that Hailey won the Ripley's award for worst actress! What's wrong with people, she should won best actress! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/09/24 Full Review César S OMG! This is horrible and we have good actors on it Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/29/24 Full Review Nick R An absolute disaster on every front. Awful action, terrible characters, a ridiculously horrible plot, and terrible direction. It completely ignores all references to the comics to the point where even her name is different. Halle Berry is a great talent, and this movie (if you can even call it that) completely dishonors her. As far as bad superhero movies go, this is the bottom of the barrel. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/13/24 Full Review Birithivy Y Catwoman - 1/10. Halle Berry is a legend. So is Sharon Stone. So how messed up does a movie have to be to make you feel their talents have been wasted? Really bad, and Catwoman is an extremely bad movie. Mind you, Berry does her damn hardest to try and salvage this wreck of a movie. But by god is this movie horrible. And I’m not talking about bad in a sense of “so bad its good.” I’m talking scorch of the earth, landfill worthy production. This is a laughably horrible production and it just makes you feel the plight of the viewer. I remember seeing it and everyone just feeling like it was a waste of that amount of time in our day. Jesus, I hope I never see another adaptation like this again. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review magdy e Critics have consistently criticized Catwoman (2004), but particularly Halle Berry's portrayal remains a memorable piece of work in its own right. While no one expected anything to surpass Michelle Pfeiffer's nuanced performance at that time, Berry brought her own distinctive charm to the role, blending her charisma and laid-back presence to create a Catwoman that left a lasting impression. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review malika h I really I enjoyed it. I find nothing objectionable about the film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
