catwoman, though bad, was better than Spiderman 2

[skjpm]

for several reasons:

1. Her superpowers had something to do with being a cat as compared to the random, utterly unspiderlike powers in S2.

2. The villain was attempting something actually evil in a logical location, as compared to what might be a genuine scientific breakthrough (cold fusion) in the middle of a large metro area--any true research would have been done in the desert in the first place. What will the next S2 villain attempt? "I'm going to build a smaller microchip and rule the world!"?

3. Halle Berry, though given the worst lines since The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island, actually tried her darndest to add some emotional energy to them. She also seemed to enjoy moving like a cat.

4. I wasn't insanely bored by long, repetitive speeches. Plus, there were moments when they didn't take themselves so ponderously seriously.

That being said, yes, it was a crappy movie. But not nearly the atomic waste-hole that was Spiderman 2.

P.S. OK, I liked the suit, too. But that's really not relevant, is it?
