Catwoman

I can't recommend Catwoman, which is a pity, because Halle Barry nails the character in physicality and attitude with stupendous style. However, when Halle is not Catwoman, the rest of the movie collapses under the weight of a very poor script. Everything is cardboard thin, including Halle's portrayal of Catwoman's alter-ego, Patience, the poor abused advertizing artist. It also doesn't help to have plot holes a mile wide.

Far too much time is spent establishing Patience as a "weak sister". And Sharon Stone is wasted as the cliche personification of the soulless greedy corporation. She reminds me of Faye Dunaway in Supergirl. Very bad role choice here.

Benjamin Bratt is reasonably OK as the potential boyfriend cop, but competent acting can't lift this movie out of script hell.

The opening musical score by composer Graeme Revell is very good. If only they had put some more work into the script. They DO have script doctors in Hollywood. 90% of a movie IS the script! The script!!
