Critics Consensus

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

Bereft of excitement and with action scenes similar to those we've seen a dozen times before, this is a very poor effort indeed.

The screenplay's a hodgepodge of witchcraft, ancient Egyptian lore, pulp feminism, and a dash of S&M.

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.

I love(d) basketball more than anything in the world until I watched the basketball scene in Catwoman. Now I hate basketball.

If there was ever a movie capable of stopping years of progress in its tracks, this would be the one.

One of the most iconic superhero movies. I've seen some people question the concept of a superhero having cat powers, although anyone who knows cats knows they're badass and fearless (at least it makes more sense than a superhero with spider powers...). However this is another great movie with a female superhero which is buried in the RottenTomatoes reviews simply because of misogyny and racism.

It's really not a good movie by any objective metric. The editing is so bad that it distracts from other elements of the film. Not much makes sense logically. Everything has plastic fake look to it. That being said, it's great in a so bad it's good way. It's pure 2000s in an endearing way. It's a time machine to a specific era; largely one that we want to forget, but serves its purpose from time to time. I would look back and cringe if this film was listed on my resume, though.
