With such a sexy lead lady and all the usual fight gore action why did catwoman suck so bad? i think it's the worst of the lot. but what do you think?

Because it had absolutely nothing to do with Catwoman.

I think that was what bothered the fans most.

And it wasn't good in terms of acting...in terms of anything.

Because Halle Berry is overrated and the custome look like crap.

My first glimpse of that costume, I knew it would be crap, and they weren't doing it seriously. And when I found out it wasn't even Selina Kyle, that was the last straw.

It flopping is proof of justice in the world.

1. Catwoman had a different name, race, and story
2. Bad writing I assume, I never saw it
3. Bad directing too probably
4. Bad acting probably
5. Complete disregard for the true identity of the character
6. Chick superheroes aren't as popular
7. There was no demand for it.
8. Marketing even made it look bad
9. Costume was wrong

1. We see sexy ladies and movies with fights and gore on a daily basis. So the orign level was lost there.

2. Comic fans could care less because it:
A. Was not set in gotham city.
B. Acted like the Batman Universe did not exist.

3. From what I heard it was a crap movie to begin with, and all of the prerelease reviews lampooned it.

I agree about the name. I thought it was dumb making it a movie about A Catwoman and not THE Catwoman. Just using the name to try to bring in the comic book crowd I guess. Comic book nerds are bitter though so that was a big mistake.

Besides, it was directed by some odd freak.

hahaha yea seriously, they thought it was named Catwoman and comic fans would consequently go watch it?

they should know and EXPECT comic book fans to be outraged for their idiocy

I was unfortunate enough to see it on HBO a while ago. Halle is one of the sexiest, most beautiful women in the world, but she obviously doesn't know a horrible script when she sees one. This movie still could have been good if they didn't let fetuses write and direct it. Even the camera work was bad. This is as bad as that "Birds of Prey" show from a while back. I wish there'd be @ least one good female comic book flick. I haven't seen Aeon Flux yet. Maybe that's the one.

The first good female comic flick I think is gonna end up being Wonder Woman...however...I may be speaking too soon lol

If the can make a good WW flick, they deserve the Nobel prize. WW bores the Hell outta me.

Same here lol. Still, she's better than friggin Hawkgirl

I like HG on JLU

Like we said - we're still waiting for the first good female comic-book film.

Elektra...was not good.

Better the Catwoman, though.

and like I said,you dont have to wait any longer because hollywood FINALLY delivered with elektra.

Elektra was actually a good movie but I think it needed to be longer.Catwoman was okay,like a 3 1/2 out of 10.

No argument from me there that it needed to be longer,I wont deny it could have been better,but it was a 100x's better than catwoman,for some people to say it was as bad as catwoman like I have seen people say before,is just plain stupid and ignorant.

Could it be that they had a bad plot? or that the character was messed up?

I think that would be why. Let's face it just because guys want to see girls in movies, and stuff does not mean they need to destroy a character over it.

I still cant believe they actually put the DC logo on the opening credits... that movie could not have had to less with the Dc Catwoman if it was played by a guy......bad characterisation, really bad plot, make for a really, really bad movie!

Thats how i feel as well

Cause they failed to get Comic Fans to want to watch it.

And well..It probably just sucked big time...after Trailer and Posters I just hadn't the urge to watch it..in fact I told everyone not to watch it...

Good advice

Especially since Catwoman is drooliolicous anyways.

I mean there are lot of girls that are good looking i think??? that could play the part well, and look good so the guys are happy. They don't have to make the character awful.

At first I liked the movie but now that I'm getting older it starts to bore me.One time this summer me and my dad were looking at it and about 10 minutes in I just went to bed.It's not that bad,well,some scenes but it could've been better.Let's hope that the second one is better.Maybe they'll have her find out her REAL name is Selina Kyle and she decides to move to Gotham where she becomes a burglar and fights Batman and they fall and love and aww.....you know the rest.

Yeah that would be great...and not to sound racist she could do what michael jackson did too

But why? Why do they have to make another Catwoman Movie totally unneccessary. There are hundreds of DC heroes who deserve a movie much more than Catwoman does

Because it was one of the most terrible pieces of cinema in a long time...

As was Elektra... Punisher... Daredevil...

*shudders*

Why would Halle Berry want to bleach her body and make herself ugly like Michael Jackson?That's the stupidest suggestion ever.

Don't forget messed up

What?

Read the post before me

Oh i totally agree, she shouldn't...but if she doesn't she shouldn't be casted as catwoman. I mean what next we could cast an asian as Martin Luther King. Or a Lation playing Bruce Lee in his autobiography. Now I am totally fine with Ford Prefect being a black man, since it was never mentioned in the books or Radio Show, but we know what Catwoman does look like she is a white woman with black hair.

DAMN...I sound racist.

batman the thing that gets me is that why is catwoman movie versions has supernatural cat like abilities when really selina kyle has no supernatural ability whatso ever and relies on skill and the training she got when she was younger, yeah she likes cats but thats about it.

It doesn't matter what race you are.Jessica Alba is part Latin and she did a fine job as the Invisible Woman.Race doesn't matter,acting skills do.

Race does matter. Would you cast a black man as Superman? You gotta stay true to the character. If they don't look the part, what's the point? Al Pacino is one of the best actors out there, but would you cast him as Black Panther? Doubt it. And if you answer yes to that you're a total moron lol

Better yet would you cast a white man for blade? That would be kind of funny

Yeah I'd like to see Denzel Washington play Captain America
