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 plan to unleash an appallingly dangerous product into the world. Stars Ashley Judd, Benjamin Bratt, Frances Conroy, Halle Berry.
Patience Philips is a shy, reserved young woman who wants to be an artist but instead is a designer for an advertising company. She is mousy and lacking in self-esteem even when she gets her big break to work on the launch of a major beauty product for her mean-spirited, ruthless boss. But a series of events initiated by a mysterious cat results in her discovering a terrifying secret that leads to her murder. That same cat breathes new life into her, creating a strong, brave woman within her that wrestles with her previous self for control of her mind and body--a body that can now do amazing things.
Academy Award winner Halle Berry is captivating as Patience, a female superhero for the 21st century. She is fearless as she seeks revenge on the people who killed her, and she attempts to save the public from the release of a dangerous product. As the Catwoman side of her battles George Hedare (Lambert Wilson) and his wife, Laurel (Sharon Stone), who he has decided is now too old to be the face of his company, the Patience side of her gets involved with hot cop Tom Lone (Benjamin Bratt), who is caught in the middle of her two-sided personality. First-time director Pitof keeps things moving at a fast pace, with quick cuts, sweeping camerawork, and pounding music. Alex Borstein provides comic relief as Patience's best friend, and SIX FEET UNDER's Frances Conroy plays a cat lady who knows the secret history of felines through the ages.

Catwoman Reviews:
"CATWOMAN is as swift and light on its feet as its heroine, Halle Berry....Stylish and full of technical razzle-dazzle..."-- Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
meow Thoroughly enjoyed the film, action and cg were great and Halle Berry must have studied cat's for a while to get their mannerisms so well. A very good film and nice that there was not a lot of bad language or sex in it. Submitted by brynandleonora (united kingdom) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Enjoyable Contrary to what others think, I really enjoyed the movies. I think Halle did a good job. The movie kept my attention. Submitted by tina.dorsey (Huntingtown, MD) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Better than expected....... Better than Daredevil and alot better than the Hulk. Halle Berry is everything you'd hope for in this role. Submitted by d_wolverton (Tucson, Az, USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Fan #1 of this movie I realy don't know why this movie it's so punished, i reaaly love this movie, maybe because i have personal issues like in the movie, or because i'm a missunterdood artist/graphic desginer, or because i love cats, or because catwoman is my favorite comic character.
People must understand that this is not the historty of selina kyle, this is not hapening in gotham city, this is completely explained in the sequence in wich mrs. Ophelia Powers explains to Patience that there have been others like her, other catwomans.
the chemestry between Patience an Tom, is very good based in the atraccion to the forbidden, he a cop, she a "criminal" the love scences are beatufully done, Halle looks beautifull, the music, the city
She saves the world because where she works there's something hidden, and she find it out accidentally, then she got her powers, and she has to do it, because she knows, becouse she must do it, not because she elected been a hero, and is a good explanation that science get involved into beauty industry and it doesn't works so good and cause "mutation" the same that give to Laurel her "Power", but her really power is her power, in industry, over the woman, her beauty, her confidence.
Patience character is complicated as Selina Kyle. . .because it passes trough the same steps like when se is a shy woman, whwn she is confused about who she is, whwn she feels the power, qhen she don't know if shes a villian or a hero, and when she found her ballance. . .
I think people that critizice this movie is because never have understood the escence of the catwoman character, Selina or Patience
So. . i think this movie is great good action, good fights, good romantic story, and Sally is very funny! Submitted by ivan_02_3 (Mexico city, Mexico) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Awful, words can't even describe it So stupid it manages to get into place #2 on my top ten worst movies. I rented this because my sister wanted to see it. I hated it with a passion yet she liked it. There are major problems with this movie such as the acting which is terrible especially Halle Berry which is very surprising, the writing is at its worst, the direction is awful and it combines to give you a feast of the second worst movie ever (nothing will surpass BloodRayne). Awful movie is all i have left to say. Submitted by buzzsaw4 (Sydney, Australia) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo

1. HBO First Look Special 2. The many faces of Catwoman
Catwoman Review Sam Raimi's follow-up to SPIDER-MAN finds Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) struggling to balance his everyday life with his alter ego as the web-slinging superhero. Still carrying the burden of keeping his crime-fighting identity from those closest to him--including his longtime love Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst), his best friend Harry Osborn (James Franco), and his doting Aunt May (Rosemary Harris)--Parker must also face off against a dangerous new menace, Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina), a scientist driven mad by experiments involving powerful mechanical arms. When the deranged Octavius (AKA Doc Ock) forms an alliance with the vengeful Osborn, who blames Spider-Man for the death of his father, the wall-crawling hero is in for his biggest battle yet.
With SPIDER-MAN 2, Raimi retains--and improves on--all of the elements that made the first film so good, including an excellent story (crafted, in part, by acclaimed novelist Michael Chabon), tight pacing, and stunning special effects. Parker's internal conflicts are even greater than before, and Maguire adds emotional depth to every scene. Returning actors Dunst, Franco, Harris, and J.K. Simmons (once again portraying Parker's tough-talking boss, J. Jonah Jameson) are all pitch-perfect in their roles, and, as the once-noble Octavius, Molina is remarkable, relishing his villainous lines, while giving the character a surprisingly vulnerable side. Throughout the movie, Raimi expertly balances drama and humor with dynamic action sequences, making SPIDER-MAN 2 feel more like a continuation of the original tale rather than an obligatory sequel. For a Hollywood movie, that's a real feat.
