The movie, is horrible, but I love Catwoman.  It’s not something I watch over 
and over.  I have seen long kiss goodnight, strange days, kill bill 2 and 
Batman II with Michele Pfieffer numerous times over the years.  

 

I still liked her tacky costume though

 

Regarding Berry, I liked her in those comedies she did when she was young.  I 
don’t hate her, I think she is pretty, I admire her accomplishments, but it 
does not translate to any of the films I see her in.  She was okay in swordfish 
fish, but the best part of her character did not come out until the last 10 
minutes of the movie. Gothika was okay, but I could take it or leave it.   
Catwoman was so poorly produced that I cannot blame her.  Everybody looked bad 
in that.   But to me she is almost like an affirmative action hire.  If they 
want a black woman with box office pull  (?), they go to her.  I do not think 
she is without talent, but there is a lack of charisma.  I cannot put my 
fingers on it, because I liked her back in the day

i don't think they're exceptions, at least, in terms of what your premise has 
been, especially if younger women are taken into account.
And no, my wife isn't a closet fan of "Catwoman". When i told her of this 
discussion, she laughed her head off. "That movie was horrible!" she said. like 
me, she doesn't think Berry is really that good of an actress, only seeming to 
convey any realism when she's on drugs or down-and-out. And to your point, I 
think that's the probem with her in themovie: she doesn't come close to 
conveying any of this subversive "girl power" you see in the flick.

Tracey and your wife are exceptions (that is a compliment) and not the rule at 
the box office. 

(I suspect they are closet "Catwoman" fans);>
