Much better than its reputation

I watched Catwoman for the first time today after years of hearing how awful it was. This was a lot better than people make it out to be. I found Catwoman to be fun and entertaining. Yes, it is campy and over the top at times, but that is part of its charm. It is a good cast and they do a decent job in their roles. It is obviously not Oscar material, but was never intended to be. If you don't take it too seriously, you can have a good time with Catwoman. My rating is a 7/10. Meow!

I agree it wasn't too bad.

I agree - never understood why so many folks hated it. It's enjoyable, not great but better than quite a few comic based films out there.

I've always liked it. I think the CGI is terrible and the Catwoman costume is too silly and the hip rolling walk way over the top. But it is enjoyable and Halle Berry is very beautiful. I wonder if she regrets going to the Razzies to collect her award for this film? Hard to reassess it's reputation when the lead is on record as thinking it was sh*t.

Allaby you are a bold individual who is not afraid to celebrate a poorly received film. For that you have my respect, for these virtues are absent in most peoples, whom sadly need to be told what to like.

I wasn't good, but I'll still take it over Batman & Robin any day of the week.

I agree with whoever posted this.

I liked it. It's a bad movie, but it is fun. I love the janky editing, the terrible sets. Shit, I'll probably watch this movie again. It doesn't deserve its horrible reputation.
