Catwoman is the story of meek, mild-mannered artist Patience Philips, who works for Hedare Beauty, a mammoth cosmetics company on the verge of releasing a revolutionary anti-aging product.
When Patience inadvertently happens upon a dark secret her employer is hiding, she is attacked and killed. But Patience is given a second chance - a second life in which someone not quite human resides. Someone with the strength, speed, agility and ultra-keen senses of a cat.
With her newfound power, Patience becomes Catwoman, and sets out to stop Hedare's callous plan to unleash an appallingly dangerous product into the world.

Dated: 31st of January, 2005
After the B-Grade hatchet jobs done to other Comic heros in recent movies (including Hulk, Hellboy, and some of the later Batman movies) I flat-out decided to wait until it was available on hire before I would hand over a single dollar.
Kinda glad I did really... though this was a surprisingly entertaining movie, I could not help but be niggled by some of it. The CGI scenes were, from the point of view of someone who has dabbled with CGI and found it almost impossible to get any decent results, a technical masterpiece... but they just didn't flow right, and were slightly overdone in places. This took a bit of the shine off them, making them less than they should have been.Some of the corny one-liners made for groans from this side of the screen, again taking something away that didn't need to go. Good dialog is vital to a SpFX-Special, otherwise you end up with a 'ham-&-cheese-on-whitebread' like Independance Day.
Ignoring plot holes and over-acting, the technical level of this movie was stunning! Not up to full spec by any means, but hey, it would take a few extra 0's on the end of the budget limit to really do these acrobatics justice. A bit like stetching a Sedan when a Limo isn't available... a compromise, but not the worst outcome by any means.
Overall, not bad for what it was at all. A bit corny, a bit limp in places, but still a strong contender for 'a good night in with the partner'. Warning: Contains highly inflamatory Feminist commentary, thinly disguised. Guys, deal with it, it's a quick shot and all over... think of it as an immunisation of sorts I guess. :)

Roddy is a decidedly upper-crust 'society mouse' who lives the life of a beloved pet in a posh Kensington flat. When a sewer rat named Sid comes spewing out of the sink and decides he's hit the jackpot, Roddy schemes to rid himself of the pest by luring him into the 'whirlpool spa'.
Sid may be an ignorant slob, but he's no fool, so it ... more...
