catwoman (2004)

19/09/2024

this was very much a comfort watch xD it definitely used to be a favourite of mine growing up (and truly, how did no one notice i had sapphic leanings when i was a kid xD) but i hadn't watched it in a number of years before yesterday.

definitely still a fun film to watch, lots of nostalgic early 2000s media tropes that give me some of the warm fuzzies i don't often feel when thinking about my childhood lmao. it's definitely got a bit more cringe than i remembered, but that can be said for pretty much any movie from that era. also a reminder that hollywood eventually did mostly get over its obsession with ancient egypt, even if it take almost a century.

also, despite my long running crush on halle berry, i can say that the catwoman transformation wasn't as hot as i remember it being... i am very glad that the hair industry learned how to tone blonde hair sometime in the last two decades.

overall 6/10 - a fun watch, but doesn't hold up nearly as much as i wish it did.
