Catwoman

Halle Berry as Catwoman, from the titular film.

Directed by Pitof (-yes; you read right, it’s the moniker of French film and visual effects director Jean-Christophe Comar), who managed to Pit-Off every die-hard fan-boy and comic geek who ever believed in the character with this ultra-crap film, and in the process strangled the career of then Hollywood “it” boy Benjamin Bratt. This can’t be put down to the 2-Dimensional nature of Catwoman, as she was formerly fleshed out with aplomb and camp glee in Tim Burton’s Batman Returns (1992) by the evergreen beauty Michelle Pfeiffer.

Pit-off, also a cleaning product endorsed by Jennifer Anniston, succeeded in winning the Razzie award for Worst Director of the year. Although Berry and Catwoman screenwriter John Rogers attended the ceremony in good humor to accept their respective awards for Worst Actress and Worst Screenplay, Pitof did not make an appearance.

MSN Movies ranks Catwoman as the third worst superhero movie to date, behind Batman & Robin and Daredevil.

Rotten Tomatoes give it a 9% freshness rate. It is also on the worst 100 reviews ever, ranking as #100.
