It sucked way more than I expected. I honestly assumed all of the negativity came from obsessed comic fans who felt the movie wasn&#8217;t true to the original vision of Catwoman or too campy or too serious or who knows what. For the record, I actually didn&#8217;t hate <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Batman_Forever\"><i>Batman Forever<\/i><\/a> or even <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Batman_%26_Robin_%28film%29\"><i>Batman &amp; Robin<\/i><\/a> and figured that similar criticism was aimed at all three movies. That certainly wasn&#8217;t the case. <i>Catwoman<\/i> just plain sucked. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/catwoman\/\">Read any of the reviews for <i>Catwoman<\/i><\/a> for more information on that. (I guess I could be thankful that reading about the film on <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Main_Page\">Wiki<\/a> introduced me to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Films_considered_the_worst_ever\">the Films Considered the Worst Ever page<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>But <i>Catwoman<\/i> the film aside, &#8220;The Many Faces of Catwoman&#8221; was great. The documentary basically goes through every actress who played Catwoman (<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Julie_Newmar\">Julie Newmar<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lee_Meriwether\">Lee Meriwether<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eartha_Kitt\">Eartha Kitt<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Adrienne_Barbeau\">Adrienne Barbeau<\/a> [voice of Catwoman from <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Batman:_The_Animated_Series\"><i>Batman: The Animated Series<\/i><\/a>], <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Michelle_Pfeiffer\">Michelle Pfeiffer<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Halle_Berry\">Halle Berry<\/a>) and features original interviews with all but Pfeiffer. It also goes into the history of Catwoman from a comic book perspective and traces her evolution (apparently no comic book character has changed her look so many times).<\/p>\n<p>While the documentary wasn&#8217;t groundbreaking or life-changing, it did make the stupid DVD worthwhile and if you happen to accidently rent it or are forced to or who knows what, at least check it out so you get some good out of the DVD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best part of the Catwoman DVD that I rented the other day was the special feature titled &#8220;The Many Faces of Catwoman.&#8221; As for the movie itself&#8230; believe the reviews.
