a5c7b9f00b Catwoman is the story of shy, sensitive artist Patience Philips, a woman who can't seem to stop apologizing for her own existence. She worksa graphic designer for Hedare Beauty, a mammoth cosmetics company on the verge of releasing a revolutionary anti-aging product. When Patience inadvertently happens upon a dark secret her employer is hiding, she finds herself in the middle of a corporate conspiracy. What happens next changes Patience forever. In a mystical twist of fate, she is transformed into a woman with the strength, speed, agility and ultra-keen senses of a cat. With her newfound prowess and feline intuition, Patience becomes Catwoman, a sleek and stealthy creature balancing on the thin line between good and bad. Like any wildcat, she's dangerous, elusive and untamed. Her adventures are complicated by a burgeoning relationship with Tom Lone, a cop who has fallen for Patience but cannot shake his fascination with the mysterious Catwoman, who appears to be responsible for a string of crime sprees plaguing the city.
A shy woman, endowed with the speed, reflexes, and senses of a cat, walks a thin line between criminal and hero, evena detective doggedly pursues her, fascinated by both of her personas.
Well it's not much wonder that this particular brand of 'Cat Woman' was a box-office flop. Bob Kane (the original creator of 'the cat' (DC Comics) in the late 30s, has now 're-developed' (or let's just cut to the chase - 'sexified') his Cat Woman character and frankly in this day and age, when we are at least expected to give a nod to equality, that annoys me.  And so we are presented with a 'feline superhero' (played by Halle Berry) who bears little resemblance to the Cat Woman of the original franchise and wears a lot less clothes.  Yes, they tried (feebly) to show a bit of her 'bad cat' side but on the whole, she is portrayeda do-gooding vigilante, writing wrongs and beating on the bad guys (again, a wild departure from Cat Woman's original roletraditional villain, burglar  and oftentimes adversary of Batman).  In this bland, 2004 offering, Cat Woman has basically morphed into just another superhero, much akin to Batman, Superman, Spiderman et al (but with an unavoidable cleavage issue). I'm not really sure how much of the corny, 'overdone-ness' of this movie is an attempt to pay homage to DC comics (at which it fails miserably), or more a reflection of the writer and director's lack of a creative approach, either way, it sucks.  With the advent of an array of newly conceptualized, updated, sleek, less clichéd DC characters in recent years, Cat Woman seems to have been left in a bygone era where it was acceptable to portray female superheroeserotic entertainment - presumably to 'pull' a male audience with all that  shiny black leather and unavoidable bosom flaunting.  I'm afraid to say that the obvious, (oh so obvious…) 'plot' is on a par with poor Cat Woman's one-dimensional personality . Patience Phillips/Cat Woman (Halle Berry trying her best I suppose, considering the paucity of her role), appearsa downtrodden, bullied artist working for a dodgy beauty products company whose aim is to increase and maintain their target buyers (middle aged women) with a beauty serum that will keep them young forever (just so longthey don't stop using it; then, of course, their faces will fall off, or at the very least, all the 'disgusting' flaws, wrinkles and ravaged of time will catch up with them. This aspect of the storyline makes the assumption that audiences agree that middle aged women are 'passed their prime' and have nothing to look forward to but the terrible affliction of ageing.  This film was made in 2004 for crying out loud! - have we not moved on from the conjecture that once a woman reaches her 40s and beyond, she is 'past it' and must either skulk in the shadows for the rest of her days (because she's too hideous to be seen) or 'fight ageing'if she were fighting the war on terror?!  Anyway, putting these infuriating, sexist details aside (if one can), the plot isfollows:  Patience saves a cat (of the Egyptian Temple Cat breed if you really want to know); is 'killed' by her evil boss when he discovers that she overheard his diabolical plot re: the beauty serum;  mysteriously comes back to life (with the help of another bunch of cats); is awarded 'cat superpowers' for her trouble and goes on to wreak revenge on said boss (and anyone else she deems to be a baddie).  It goes without saying that oodles of leather, perky (barely contained) breasts and long whips are involved in this sub par tale and I have to conclude that  Pitof's Cat Woman is an uninspired, banal, chauvinistic waste of time and unless you have a leather fetish and really don't care about plot lines, interesting characters and intelligent cinema, I'd suggest you give it a wide berth.<br/><br/>3.5/10
I think one of the biggest problems with "Catwoman"–and there are many–is the character of Patience, whom we never get to know. It's not enough that she's meek and mild and won't wear leather. Why does she risk her neck to save a cat? And if she really digs this handsome cop, why doesn't she make more of an effort to keep him around? (Their relationship is like a screenwriter's afterthought.) It's never explained why Patience drops off the art-designs down in the belly of the building–or why the heads of the cosmetics firm think that, by not saying anything about their toxic product, they'll be in the clear when it's discovered somethings wrong with it. But two segments really stand outidiotic: Halle Berry challenging Benjamin Bratt to a little one-on-one court action and Berry's night flight on a motorcycle (did becoming a cat-woman suddenly make her adept at sports and cycles?). There's no character here, so we really don't care about Catwoman–there's no interest in what's at stake for her. The villains (particularly Sharon Stone) are so poorly defined, we can't even accept a double-cross on face value. And the lovey-dovey stuff seems shoehorned in at the last minute, which bears the question: Why do the makers of these superhero movies always feel their films need a romantic angle? If it's here to titillate the target audience with some hot action, then that failed, too. ** from ****
A catastrophe. This motion picture is an embarrassment to all involved.
Shy and meek-mannered Patience Phillips (<a href="/name/nm0000932/">Halle Berry</a>), workinga graphic designer for Hedare Beauty Cosmetics, is killed one night when she is caught in a waste pipe and flushed out into a river. She is brought back to life, however, by an Egyptian Mau, a temple cat sacred to the goddess Bast, that bestows upon her the speed, confidence, reflexes, and senses of a feline, turning her into the fierce and stealthy Catwoman. Although Catwoman tries to do good deeds, like saving a young boy on a broken ferris wheel, she is blamed for a string of crime sprees and is being investigated by Detective Tom Lone (<a href="/name/nm0000973/">Benjamin Bratt</a>) who also happens to be falling in love with Patience. But it's when she discovers a toxic little secret about Hedcare's line of beauty cream that things really become CATastrophic. The story and screenplay were written by American screenwriters John Brancato, Michael Ferris, John Rogers, and Theresa Rebeck, although the character of Catwoman is loosely based on the Selina Kyle/Catwoman created by DC Comics' Bob Kane and Bill Finger, both of whom also created the character Batman. Catwoman's first appearance was in Batman #1 in Spring of 1940. No. Halle Berry's Catwoman is a completely different character named Patience Phillips. Selina Kyle, the Catwoman—as played by <a href="/name/nm0000201/">Michelle Pfeiffer</a>—is (very) briefly referenced via a photograph to link this movie to the Tim Burton film. JustLaurel is about to shoot Tom, Catwoman shows up. She whips the gun from Laurel's hand and helps Tom get away, taking out two of Laurel's goons along the way. When Tom is safe, she returns for a final confrontation with Laurel, revealing her identityPatience Phillips…the woman Laurel killed by flushing down the pipe. They begin to fight, but Catwoman is soon surprised to see that Laurel's skin is hardmarble and impervious to pain because of her use of Beau-Line, and Laurel eventually gets the upper hand, crashing Catwoman into a window and smashing her against the glass. Catwoman rallies and scratches Laurel's cheeks with her diamond claws, causing Laurel's skin to begin disintegrating. Laurel falls through the broken window but manages to grab on to a pole. As Catwoman reaches to pull her back up, Laurel's hand slips and she falls 20 stories to the ground, killing her. Catwoman is joined by Tom, who tells her that, if Patience was found in her jail cell in the morning, it would be awful hard to prove that she was Catwoman. Some days later, Tom receives a letter at work and, in a voiceover, Patience reads: The day I died was the day I started to live. In my old life, I longed for someone to see what was special in me. You did, and for that you will always be in my heart. But what I really needed was for me to see it. And now I do. You're a good man, Tom. You live in a world that has no place for someone like me. You see, sometimes I'm good…very good. But sometimes I'm bad, but onlybadI want to be. Freedom is power. To live a life untamed and unafraid is the gift that I've been given. And so my journey begins. In the final scene, Catwoman is shown walking along roof ledges, silhouetted in the moon and whipping around her whip. There have been no plans for a sequel to Catwoman. However, in May 2006, IGN's FilmForce quoted actress Halle Berrysaying, If they seriously said, "We want to do another one and here's how we're going to make it better because we learned from the mistakes," I would because I believe we could make it better. I think Catwoman is a great character that maybe wasn't presented in the right way. But when people see it on video they seem to like it. They're like, "It wasn'tbadthey all said!" Despite this comment, it is highly unlikely that a sequel will ever be produced considering the film flopped at the box office and was subject to numerous negative reviews, while also never generating a "cult following" like some (often rather unique) box office failures have.
