10 Comic Book Movies Everyone Loves To Hate
2. Catwoman
Winner of four Razzies (including Worst Picture) and one of Empire Magazine’s Fifty Worst Movies Ever, Catwoman is the superhero movie everyone loves to hate, but who doesn’t enjoy a good train wreck?
Watching newly minted Oscar winner Halle Berry being resuscitated by a hilariously unconvincing CG cat is one thing, but the movie shifts into high gear when it turns out that the animal is some kind of mystical Egyptian feline that’s imbued Halle with super strength and cat-like reflexes.
In order to save America from a deadly skin care product (long story), Halle receives a superhero mask the cat’s owner just happens to own, designs a skimpy costume that brings to mind Blade’s retort from Blade: Trinity (“Is that supposed to be tactical?”) and engages in some of the campiest shenanigans since Adam West hung up his bat cape.
It’s not every movie, for instance, where you have to show your character’s newfound feline side by hissing at dogs, consuming tuna straight from the tin or, erm, defeating the guys at basketball. Not sure why the filmmakers chose basketball to show off her powers, but apparently 8 out of 10 Catwomen prefer it.
