BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Platypuschow Warner Brothers deliver yet another DC Showcase, this time about Catwoman who is by far the most well known of the hero choices thus far.It tells the short story of Catwoman in pursuit of Rough Cut who appears to be smuggling more than just diamonds this time.Fluid, action packed and well paced this is everything a short should be.I'm a fan of Dushku but I question how much she was paid for this 14 minute short considering she speaks about 3 lines total!Good stuff.The Good:Very well animatedEliza DushkuThe Bad:Very little dialogue yet has an expensive voice castThings I Learnt From This Movie:Kevin Michael Richardson needs to learn some new voices
DCfan I saw this the following day after Batman Year one and it is definitely better but....Warning ahead: There is a scene where Roughcut and is punks go into a dodgy club and a hooker removes her bra. In other words, this is probably one which you can't show children.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) And that is not only the case for bad guys who try to fight that very fast heroine. This also really is the case as well for filmmakers. Everybody knows about that unsuccessful Halle Berry movie and opinions differ about Anne Hathaway's turn, but here in this short film I was not really impressed either. However, that probably had more to do with the unsatisfying story than with the character itself. It's just never edge-of-seat stuff. Eliza Dushku did the voice acting here and I quite like her as an actress. She did okay all in all with her voice in here I would say. The director is Lauren Montgomery, actually a very experienced filmmaker in terms of animated superhero work, so I am even more disappointing that this one here left me hoping for more. Same can be said about the writer, which is maybe the even bigger problem that Paul Dini did not really come up with a super-engaging story or villain. Anyway, all in all I cannot recommend this 15-minute short film from almost 5 years ago. I also watched the Jonax Hex DC Showcase and I thought that one was a lot better. Another problem I had here is Catwoman randomly stealing a motorbike from some punk. I know she is not clean-cut good (or evil) like Batman or Superman and she has more shades to her character, but still I found that somewhat annoying. Yeah, not recommended.
psych58 Okay, did we all watch the same show, here? I've seen several complaints about the quality of the animation, and I keep wondering what part are they complaining about? The car chase, the multiple fight scenes, the pole dance (!), it all looked great to me, far above the usual quality of US animation. Example: check out the backgrounds and you see people actually moving, not just static figures. Granted,character development wasn't superb here, but from a pure action perspective this was a great debut for our favorite pussycat antihero. I mean, how much character development can you cram into a short? Which is my one complaint and the reason why I only gave it an 8. I wish it would have been longer.
