Review of Catwoman (2004) by Alfredo S — 09 Jun 2018

It's pretty genius when you think about how ballsy it was for Warner brothers to create a whole new character in no way related to the dc comics character. Shame some people just can't accept it as as its own thing , only Catwoman in name.

There's something appealing about Halle berry in a leather dominatrix outfit jumping on rooftops in the dark urban landscape of Salt Lake City.

For me it's a action revenge thriller set in the world of beauty products and dark alleys with a hint of a good r&b score. There's a bit of social commentary in here about the way women are treated in the beauty industry at a certain age or it could be about a women accepting her flaws and becoming free with herself.

I'm not ashamed to admit I love Catwoman. For its runtime of nearly two hours I can safely argue I wanted more.

The film directed by French visual effects supervisor newcomer Pitof feels like a comic book come to live with its vivid colors and wild editing . Countless times we get insane CG crane shots of the beautiful Salt Lake City and the dark alleys Catwoman prowls . While unnecessary it makes for campy fun considering it was the early 2000s and they didn't know how it was gonna fare with audiences.
