My scathing review of Catwoman

[Paul H]

My friend was talking about it tonight, he pretty much said the same thing. He said something about a part with a ferris wheel where the gear that turns the wheel fails and then randomly the cars start falling and the restraints release. He said that it was random and pretty stupid. He also said that this was pretty much the only action in the movie.

I definately won't be seeing it.

This reminds me of the movie Gigli. (sp?) Its one of those movies that you think about seeing just to see how bad it was. I wouldn't go see it in the movies (paying for it), but maybe if it is on satelite some time, maybe I'll watch some of it just to see how bad it is. lol

By the way, I never saw Gigli.

I don't see why they picked Catwoman. There are SO many better super heroes / villians to make a movie off of.

It's one of those movies that you watch just to see how bad it is. Like, those old monster movies. Where the giant bus-sized ants/spiders/tentaclemonsters/scorpions/fish invade the town and kill people. They're so pointless...but in some aspects if you try and reenact them while watching, or if you put it on mute and make your own dialogue...
Oh goodness that's entertaining.

One question

I have no intention of seeing the movie, but is there any references to Batman at all in the movie?

From the review I read, no. It's been totally separated and sanitized of all Batman references. A dumb idea, in my opinion, as Catwoman comes from the Batman stories....

Basically like Mystery Science Theater 3000! I used to watch MST3K and laugh as Crow and Tom Servo would make wise remarks and quick come backs as they watched really bad B movies. I think it's still on Comedy Central as repeats.

normally gears dont directly turn a ferris wheel and cars falling randomly is very random... normally a motor turns a tire (with some gear reduction perhaps) which is pressed against a 'ring' along the side of the wheel.. friction drive, mostly..
i dont like movies with random events. like when a random object falls from the sky and hits the bad guy.. unless its a 'random' object like in home alone. now thats a fun movie.

i saw it today .. and honestly .. as stupid as it was .. i didnt think it was that bad ... id give it two and a half stars .. but then again .. we were in that kind of a mood for something horrible .. and we did exactly what the screen asked us not to ( we added our own commentary ).. and halfway through, my friend goes "so what do you guys think ??" .. and plus .. there were some funny parts .. like sally and anything she said or did ...

but if you dont like random movies .. definitely dont see this .. me and my friends were in the mood for it .. so we saw it and had a blast ..

and to answer your question DJ, there were no references to Batman ..

Speaking of B rated movies, a horror movie based on giant killer ants was filmed where I live. I'm a fan of laughing at dumb horror movies, but this one I had to turn off.
Catwoman never looked like it had potential, and i'm a plot and story guy so it's a deff no.
