Having just seen Catwoman<\/a> I would like to say that Alien Vs. Predator<\/a> which I reviewed<\/a> yesterday was a much better movie. It should be valid to compare Spiderman 2<\/a> and Catwoman<\/a> as both were produced this year and both are part of the superhero genre. The CGI work on Catwoman was too obvious, even pieces where the actors are on the wire and blue screening it are obvious in Catwoman. I didn’t have this distraction in either of the Spiderman movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have no problem with the plot, and Halle Berry’s<\/a> portrayal. (I loved the way she played Storm in the X-Men<\/a> movies<\/a>.) If I was a straight guy I would have popped a woody with some of the scenes. There was the extremely nice butt, and I won’t go into details about the leather suit and flat stomach… simply beautiful. (Okay, okay, I have my preferences.) I heard it was a guy<\/a> for some of the the stunt scenes, but the bit I looked hard at were purely Halle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all, I’m glad I didn’t pay to see it. Why did they change her name from Selina Kyle?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
