Rated NFD (Not For the Discerning).

You're left with flashes of mis-spent promise: the feline mysticism; the cosmetics-industry intrigue; the idea of electrocuting Lambert Wilson's unctious corporate cad.

The main question to ask is why did we need this project?

For about 40 minutes Catwoman is campy, trashy and fun. Then it's just trash: dull and depressingly empty.
- Nev Pierce, BBC, August 17, 2004
This is only worth seeing if you can handle shallow characters and dull, plastic action scenes for the sake of unintentional laughs.
- Roberto Sadovski, Empire Magazine, August 13, 2004
A thriller you wouldn't inflict on a laboratory rat
- James Christopher, Times [UK], August 12, 2004
Obviously, no one involved in this disaster cares anything at all about Catwoman.
- Noah Berlatsky, Chicago Reader, July 30, 2004
When is a cat a dog? When it's Catwoman.
- Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine, July 29, 2004
The kind of movie that almost guarantees the loss of a few I.Q. points.
- Rex Reed, New York Observer, July 29, 2004
This is barely a film -- it's more like a music video-slash- TV-commercial- slash-computer game.
- Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper, July 26, 2004
Instead of basking in the considerable charms Berry has to offer, the director, Pitof ... treats them like accessories to the picture's flashy, senseless cutting and overused special effects.
- Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com, July 24, 2004
Catwoman is dragged down by a paper-thin story, the predictable number of fight scenes executed at equally predictable intervals and stock, unmemorable characters.
- Ann Hornaday, Washington Post, July 23, 2004
Get out the kitty litter.
- Peter Goddard, Toronto Star, July 23, 2004
Most respectable comic-book plots rely on a genius scientist gone insane, an alien invader or the like as villainous foil. In Catwoman, the bad guy is a cosmetics company.
- Ted Fry, Seattle Times, July 23, 2004
An odd, idiosyncratic movie -- dark in look and dark in spirit -- that plays as a kind of pop culture investigation into the meaning of feminism and the options open to women in the modern world.
- Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle, July 23, 2004
Here's a movie that has nothing going for it except good bone structure.
- Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee, July 23, 2004
Arguably the worst superhero film ever made.
- Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel, July 23, 2004
A clawless cross-breed of comic book movie cliches.
- Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger, July 23, 2004
Catwoman doesn't belong on the big screen. It belongs in the litter box or to be scraped off the bottom of our shoes as we head quickly for another theater.
