The popcorn machine is more entertaining

In my lifetime of movie going, I have walked out of only 2 other films: a yawning undersea adventure by Jasques Cousteau, and an incomprehensible movie version of The Odyssey by James Joyce.
"Catwoman" makes it three.
I mean, this is really REALLY pathetic. I didnt expect "acting" in the usual sense, and there certainly is none. Just HB sliding around in tight leather occasionally. Even that looked ridiculous.
Certainly the "plot" was ridiculous. Woody Allen once made a parody called "What's Up Tiger Lily" in which he replaced the sound track of a D-grade Jap film to invent a new plot centered around the theft of an award-winning recipe for egg-salad. The film bombed. But "Catwoman" could sure benefit by use of his plotline.
About the best "special effect" must have been getting HB into her tights. That might at least give the film some adult appeal, but *those* scenes were played at super-speed to make them seem more exciting.
Too "adult" for any kid to enjoy, too stupid for any adult to enjoy, there is just no one left but a few mentally disadvantaged sexist cosmetics models for whom this movie might have some appeal.
Admittedly, I didnt sit through the entire film. Somewhere about halfway through, the people I was with all agreed this film would be on TV faster than we could get our car out of the parking lot, and we'd enjoy our popcorn more if we went outdoors.
I wish I had stayed at work. Even my job is more fun than this movie. Its just plain insulting. |
