Editorial Review:
Catwoman is the story of meek, mild-mannered artist Patience Philips, who works 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 is attacked and killed. But Patience is given a second chance - a second life in which someone not quite human resides. Someone with the strength, speed, agility and ultra-keen senses of a cat. With her newfound power, Patience becomes Catwoman, and sets out to stop Hedare's callous plan to unleash an appallingly dangerous product into the world.
Description of Catwoman (Widescreen Edition):
For a certain segment of the population, the vision of Halle Berry in shredded skin-tight leather is reason enough to see Catwoman. As Patience Philips, Berry plays a mousy graphic designer for a cosmetics company who learns a little too much about her employer's new beauty cream and gets flushed down a waste-disposal pipe. A supernatural cat brings Patience back to life and brings up a new persona from the depths of her psyche; soon she's bounding around fire escapes, cracking a whip, and getting framed for a couple of murders by a villainous ex-supermodel (Sharon Stone, Total Recall, Basic Instinct). If you're hoping for a Catwoman with bite, this is not your movie--this Catwoman rescues children from malfunctioning ferris wheels and apologizes for stealing jewels. The movie's script and visual style are as fresh as used kitty litter. Also featuring Benjamin Bratt (Miss Congeniality), and Frances Conroy (Six Feet Under). --Bret Fetzer
Catwoman (Widescreen Edition) Reviews:
Why does Amazon sell these kinds of films and make 1 star the lowest rating you can give? 
2009-12-19 - No, ladies and gentlemen, contrary to what the title may suggest, this is not the Catwoman of the DC comics Universe, the one true love of Batman, the leather clad anti-heroine strips Gotham City of of it's riches for the sheer thrill of it but who takes the opportunity to aid Batman in his battles against the Joker, Two-Face, and The Penguin, the female feline who can take a man's shirt off his back with her bullwhip without even cutting his skin.
No.
No, friends, THIS film deals with that other Catwoman, the one with the mouse-like mask that would embarrass even Joel Schumacher, the timid, shy, socially awkward secretary who gets flushed down the toilet by some evil henchmen of a makeup mongul and emerges with feline powers and better Capoeira skills than Lateef Crowder (that'll be the day.) The one who has no connection to anyone or anything in the DC universe nor anyone or anything cool, awesome, or even adequate.
Sigh.
Where the hell do I begin?
I know I probably won't win a lot of points for saying this, but to me, this is worse than BATMAN AND ROBIN. And that's probably the single most damning comment that can possibly be made about a comic book movie, so I'll leave it at it, but I will say that CATWOMAN, like BATMAN AND ROBIN, is a highly entertaining movie, but for all the wrong reasons. So bad, it's good!!!
The greatest movie experience ever 
2009-11-28 - Halle Berry cements herself as a world class actor with this oscar winning performance as a woman transformed into a cat, or, in other words, a cat-woman.
There can be no doubt, furries will love this interspecies love story about a young girl raised on a farm and then lost in a big city.
wow, I laughed, I cried, a masterpiece of epic proportions.
Catwoman - won't give you hairballs 
2009-11-20 - Perhaps the weak plot, the hackneyed characters and the stiff dialogue were factors in the common opinion that this was one of the worst superhero movies of its time but 'Catwoman' is not without its selling points either. Here are some:
1. Halle Berry looks good in a tight cat suit.
2. Lambert Wilson gets to play a snooty and unscrupulous executive...which is a bit of a stretch for him, right? Right? ...oh.
3. The DVD makes a good drink coaster so you won't get rings on your coffee table.
4. If you ever get stranded at sea, the reflective DVD can be used to signal passing ships.
5. If you don't own a protractor, the DVD can be used to trace a perfect circle.
6. For the price of one penny, "Catwoman" is an affordable purchase in todays tough economy.
7. Too few superhero movies have any appeal to cat lovers but not THIS one.
8. Provides proof for the theory that Sharon Stone can only be killed by falling off a skyscraper.
9. Willy Wonka might have hidden a "Golden Ticket" in the Catwoman DVD you buy.
10. Halle Berry looks good in a tight cat suit.
Amazing !
2009-11-07 - Totally underrated movie. Watch it on bluray on a 90 inches screen, it's looks fantastic ! The effects are awesome, Halle Berry superb and super good looking, and the story holds all the way for that kind of movie. Furthermore pretty funny also.. I think people totally misundestand this movie and don't take it for what it is. I was sitting back with a feeling of I'd really like to see a sequel but I guess thats not gonna happen since it's gotten all this bad critics.. If you have a good large HD screen, or like Halle Berry a little bit don't hesitate to buy it on bluray, it's amazing !
Blu Ray is good
2009-11-01 - I would give the original DVD 2 stars at best, this is a pretty ordinary super hero movie, but the blu ray version looks great. Halle Berry looks great in the catsuit, the photography and some of the shots are great. All in all, a nice guilty pleasure if you like comic book superhero movies.
