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 This review is for a different format.

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 This review is for a different format.
