Well, I liked it ! As one of many recent 'cartoon super hero' films that have emerged (most of which I liked to some degree) I enjoyed this and was glad I went to see it and didn't let all the negative comments sway me. I am very surprised how badly it seems to be doing and how much bad publicity it has received - so much so that I feel obligated to write these comments.
This film is NOT as action packed as Spiderman 2, nor is it as dark as Batman 2 but what it lacks in arty atmosphere and action I feel it makes up for in other areas.
Firstly, Halle Berry was hot and Sharon Stone sizzled ! It was great to see Sharon back in action as a foxy femme fatale (the type of part she was once typecast for) and Ms Berry was simply drool inspiring - and she gave a very strong performance throughout the film, too.
That aside, this film actually has a bit more of a story in terms of relationships between characters, which I found very engaging. I liked the Egyptian mythological elements to the film, which suggested how Catwoman came into being (but I can see how most people would think this a bit far-fetched, but then again - its a cartoon !)
I noticed early on that this film was produced by Tim Burtons buddy and usual producer, Denise Di Novi (who also produced Batman 2). And so, even if the direction was a little lacking for the fight scenes the production values were still there. Also, there were lots of similarities to the Catwoman of Batman 2 to this new version, such as the villainous employer, the memory loss, the duality and obsession with revenge, e.t.c
I think if anything this film is aimed at a more adult audience than teeny-boppers. Its slower and has a much meatier story than similar film like Daredevil, which by comparison is all action and effects.
I suppose, as with most things, its down to personal taste. This is no masterpiece, but if you tend to like films of this genre and want something that tries to be a bit more grown up than Spiderman, than this film could be for you (despite what the critics say)...
