Patience Philips is a woman who can't seem to stop apologizing for her own existence. She works as a 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. When her employers find out that she is on their secret they have her killed and in a mystical twist of fate, she is transformed into a woman with the strength, speed, agility and ultra-keen senses of a cat. This is because an ancient Egyptian cat is the one that brought her back to life and transformed her into something old and new at the same time. 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.

I am probably the easiest reviewer to sell a comic book adaptation too, as I love both comic books as well as my love for movies. So when you make a comic book movie so bad that even I hate and despise it, that’s quite the accomplishment. Catwoman managed to do that, the movie is a pure atrocity at times and you have to wonder what the producers were thinking. When your movie is so bad you can’t even use the real catwoman Selena Kyle and you have to make up your own character that is a horrible sign. And when you can’t place the movie in Gotham City where it belongs again you are doing yourself a terrible injustice. Halle Berry is an incredible actor but she was just downright horrible in this movie, which is a shame. I can see why they cast her, because they wanted to toss some skintight leather outfit on her and get the teenage boys to flock to the movie. Halle Berry actually did a good job until they turned her into catwoman at this point the movie turned into a downward spiral of them seeing how bad they could make the film. There were scenes that if I had bought popcorn I would have tossed it at the screen (the purrrrrrfect line for example not only made me cringe but angered me at the same time). Now while Berry could probably excuse some of her bad performance on some pretty horrible screen writing, Sharon Stone on the other hand could not. Stone managed to be so bad on her own that you could not tell if it was the screen writing or her that was utterly mauling your senses. I have seen worse movies this year, for example King Arthur, but this movie manages to be as horrible as the trailers hinted it could be. Stay away.
