    To say that this is gonna get killed at the box office is being nice...I liked her in the preview MUCH better without the stupid ears. She's at least sexy then. Add the ears, and I just see a sad imitation of the gorgeous Michelle Pfieffer from Batman Returns. And by the way, the animation of Harry in the Cuisenart is really REALLY gross...

    YOU HAVE NOT EVEN SEEN IT YET AN YOU ARE ALREADY BAGGING IT!

    by mararchi111

    You are a pathetic excuse for a movie reviewer,
    You loved van Helsing because of something to do with "9 year old boys" Harry. Dont let us get in the way of your sexual tenticies harry BUT when a movie is shit like van helsing you gotta say its shit no matter how much they are paying you (aw just pretend your a nineyear old boy......awww )

    I saw the trailer for Catwoman and it didnt look that bad. I have not seen this "clip" as i wouldnt down load Real Player because Realplayer sucks.

    I bet this movie is TEN times better than that piece of shit Van Helsing.

    "Vidocq" was an empty plotless shell of a movie, contanining only a lot of childish pseudoimagery and some pathetic attempts to show that some French studio can rival ILM (by doing pitifully fake-looking CGI on with the "quality" that would make the original SFX team in "The Giant Claw" cringe). But because it apparently made money (?!?), Pitofrog is the Warners' obvious choice for their next big project. 'Raay! Bring W. S. Anderson to do Batman 2006!

Anyway, I kinda liked VIDOCQ despite the whole style-over-substance overkill but jeez this looks so bad it already makes uber-turds of the past like STRIPTEASE, Emmerich's GODZILLA and SHOWGIRLS look like achievements of artistic brilliance. Personally I cannot wait to watch it with a REALLY HUGE joint to help me appreciate it properly. They are marketing CATWOMAN as the next big summer blockbuster in Europe, btw, which is just hilarious!

    Turns out that the whole project was simply "therapy" for the "heartbroken Halle Berry"! That explains a lot, but still leaves the question of how much therapy those unsuspecting viewers who still don't know what to expect from "Catwoman" will need.

    The Batman Returns Catwoman SUCKED

    by jmtoyzilla

    I dunno whether it's a case of something that appears to be so bad (Halle Catwoman) making something else look good by comparison, but Catwoman's character in Batman Returns was SO screwed up. A cool, classy criminal turned into a sex-crazed psycho in a stiched-up raincoat with Adam West cowl ears!!! Putting spray cans in a microwave-- yeah, THAT's my idea of a Catwoman crime spree! PFFT! Pfeiffer was sexy but could have been so much more so as a more "traditional" Catwoman. Anyway, why do you all hate Daredevil? It drew on the best era in the book's history and hit most of the right notes, although Bullseye should have gotten the costume he asked for. As for Hulk, I weep for Hulk fans everywhere, it was the biggest wasted opportunity since Tri-Star's Godz---a (I can't even type it).

    by nicemarmot

    I have to say that comment about this being the "end of the golden era of comic book movies" had me howling with laughter. A bit like how the fading of disco marked the end of the golden era of pop music. I fail to see what sets this apart from "spiderman", "van helsing", "x2", "daredevil" and all that other crap where the fx and noise are cranked up to 10 and the script and direction dialed down to -2.

    Anyway, I hope it *is* the end of this so-called 'golden era' of action movies made by Burger King lackeys & CGI shops and starring underwear models.

  • Here she blazes a trail for Charlize Theron, another strong, PROUD black actress and you white supremacist assholes attack her. FUCK YOU! Oh, sure, Halle can be part of an ensemble cast in a Marvel comics movie, but when she is the STAR of a DC movie, you bedsheet-wearing motherfuckers get out the gasoline and the wooden cross to burn on WB's lawn. I get it, she's black and isn't good enough for DC. This is why we need sensitivity training.

    I think they should make a movie based on the old TV series "MANIMAL"
    "master of the secrets that divide man from animal, animal from man, Manimal."

    Uh...Charlize Theron is WHITE, jackass

    by kingkrypton

    There ARE white folks living in Africa, you know. As for CATWOMAN...let's face it, WB's finally going to destroy the recent comic book movie boom. Just recently they announced that the much-reviled Peters/Abrams/McG "re-imagining" of Superman will begin shooting by year's end, with Stan Winston providing a sculpted latex Superman suit (source: Superhero Hype). Between that atrocity in the making and CATWOMAN (a full-blown insult to the memories of Kane and Finger), WB will single-handedly bring about another wasteland for comic book movies. Does anyone really think that this movie will better our chances of seeing our favorite comics brought to film? If this movie hits, it'll only convince people that "re-imagining" is what makes for a hit movie and will lead to every comic book we know and love getting mauled beyond recognition (and Superman will be the very first to suffer this treatment). If it flops, WB will lash out at the fans for being "close-minded" and "afraid of anything that new and different," and Hollywood might get the idea that comic book movies don't sell (which is what happened after the last Batman movie). Either way, we're going to lose. And WB is going to get off scot-free, painting US as the bad guys all the way.

    by stonemonkey

    because this is what it boils down to: Halle Berry playing the role of a scantily clad super heroine who SHOULD'VE been played by Ashley Judd and SHOULD'VE had the name Selina Kyle instead of the this would-be porn fantasy with the yummy-but-disillusioned Oscar winner for getting banged by Billy Bob onscreen playing the title character. Even the 'getting-more-untalented-in-every-subsequent-role' Sharon Stone shows up in WB abortion. Quick bit of trivia: Halle played a character in the so-so 'Flinstones' film named Sharon Stone, now she's playing opposite the real Mrs. Stone in a film WB should've avoided after Ashley Judd passed on it.

    Racism? Nigga?

    by hairy nutsack

    Nigga or Nigger that word is wrong period and should not be used by anyone black or white. There's no excuse or reason to use a word that is potentially that offensive.............PUD I hope to God you are kidding! No one cares that Halle Berry happens to be black, NO ONE! How exactly can you be proud that you're black or white or yellow or brown or whatever? Like you had something to do with your skin color and therefore should be proud of that auspicious accomplishment? The only person that should be proud of their skin color is Michael Jackson, that was some long hard work and it really is quite an accomplishment. People should be proud of who they are and what they have done not for some stupid shit like skin color or country of origin. Big fucking deal, you are (color) and came from (wherever) and none of that makes you worth anymore than anyone else. People don't dislike Halle Berry because she's half black, they dislike her because she can't act, got a sympathy Oscar and made it all about her 1/2 race, and makes BAD decisions for the roles she plays.

    PUD! She is NOT a proud black woman -- she is a total skank who

    by shalimarali

    Pud you ignorant slut! How many times do I have to email you to say that Halle Berry is an EMBARASSMENT to Black women? She is not proud -- she is SKANKY. You need to look up the word "proud" in the dictionary, because it sure does not mean to have sex in movies. You are totally confusing proud with slutty. Of course I will BOYCOTT Catwoman, as I do all of her recent movies, that do nothing but make her look like a whore. She does not represent Black women, she merely EMBARASSES the hell out of me at work whenever her name is mentioned. Like any good whore, she is getting paid for her sex on demand. She had the potential to be a good actress a long time ago, but instead sold herself out to the highest bidder. One good thing, she gives men what they want, sex and nudity. Which is a bad thing for Black women across America. Only in a racist country like America, will Black women be raped for years as slaves, and then have racist White Oscar men give a black woman a reward for having sex with a white man. They could have given an Oscar years ago to Lena Horne or Dorothy Dandridge (actresses with pride, who did not sell out for sex); but of course, chose instead to give the first Oscar to a black woman for sex and nudity. SICK!!! And the problem is that the Oscars have given white women plenty of Oscars for roles that are respectful and can be seen by the entire family. By comparison, Black children can't even watch the first Oscar winning actress because she was basically in a PORN film (Monster's Ball). But white children have plenty of white actresses that they can watch in family films that are not "R" rated. The final score, 50+ Oscars for white women, where the majority of roles are family friendly and can be seen by white children; compared to 1 leading Oscar given to a black women for sex and nudity. What a shame!!! So along with her other SKANKY films, I will BOYCOTT and just say no to HALLE "WHORE" BERRY! Peace out.
