Next on my movie hit-list is Catwoman

I went into this film determined to not like it and I wasn't dissappointed. It's impossible to watch this film without comparing Halle Berry to Michelle Pfeiffer, and her portrayal of the clawed one in Batman Returns. And Berry doesn't come off well in the comparison.

Nothing in this film fits. I can accept a non-batman related exposition for there being a line of Catwomen dating back to ancient Egyptian times, but the point was laboured overmuch. There was an air of desperate justification to it all which destroyed the plot completely, which wasn't difficult - the word plot in itself is pretty much of a misnomer. I've seen skeletons with more meat on them. And I just didn't care, either.

The idea is that a face cream is poisonous. Well, tell the drug regulator agencies then, simple. But then there'd be nothing for her to do. Shame.

I've seen reviews that call Berry's outfit "Skimpy". I've seen skimpier things on my way to the store! Sorry, but I don't call a pair of leather jeans and an uncomfortable-looking bra-top "Skimpy" or "Sexy". Pfeiffer's outfit could make a grown man weep. Her big entrance was spellbinding. Berry's big entrance was bitty, choppy, uninspired and erm...done by a man. No Comparison.

Choppy is a good word to describe this film. I don't know what the editor was on, but someone please make him stop. I was dizzy through most of the film.

Iwas about to say that it's notas bad as Van Helsing, but really it's pretty much on a par.

Don't bother. There's no way of getting those 90 minutes back, you know.

Coming soon: The Bourne Supremacy.
