Quotes:

[first lines]
Catwoman: [voiceover] It all started on the day that I died. If there had been an obituary, it would have described the unremarkable life of an unremarkable woman, survived by no one. But there was no obituary, because the day that I died was also the day I started to live. But that comes later. This was my life. Days blended together, consistently ordinary, thanks to a job that was the practical version of my passion. I was supposed to be an artist by now. Instead, I was designing ads for beauty cream.

Why I enjoyed Catwoman so much!

It's the Cat's Meow in other words it's 'Hot'

It's fun comic book movie. No it's not Spiderman 2, there's no deep character conflicts that wrap the viewer in the complex mind of a conflicted confused hero, that's all Marvel babe and this is DC. The comic book styles are different and so are the movies. Anyway you look at it Catwoman is an excellent origin film. That's why I can't wait of Catwoman II to see where and how the character develops.

Catwoman is fantastic. Halle worked that cat suit, she even inspired me to go to the gym. Berry became Catwoman, she embodied the feline femme fatale. The way she moved after becoming Catwoman would've have made my kittens proud, it was feline fantastic. Then there's the romance. Berry and Bratt made a sexy couple and their chemistry was magical. Sharon Stone was purrfectly b___y and I mean that as a complement some times a woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do. It's a fun film all around. Love the catfights, love the romance, love the man crazy friend, I loved this movie. If it were the 90s I'd give it two around the world snaps. It's not about feminism… it's about independence. It's not about the old Catwoman…its about the new Catwoman and she still could kick Batman's butt if she wanted or seduce him if she chose to. If you look closely Halle pays homage to the other Catwomen. To top it all off the soundtrack is grrreat.
