just saw the catwoman movie

i didn't make it to the theater to see catwoman. not because i didn't want to, i just don't make it to the theater very often.
but i got the dvd for my birthday a couple weeks ago, and finally made the time to sit down and watch it.
i gotta say: it's not that bad. i mean, it's not that good, really, but it's nowhere near as bad as everyone made it out to be.
the story was alright. in fact the writing and acting were fine. my biggest complaint is probably with the directing. everytime something good was about to happen (like a fight scene), suddenly the cameras and the editing were moving so fast you couldn't see anything happening.
especially during the basketball scene, the dance club scene and the fight in the alley outside the club. i was like "hello, i'd like to know what's going on here!"
but otherwise, halle berry did a fine job. i liked the different levels to the character.
actually, my other complaint is the costume. it just made no sense. why? it didn't seem like there was any real reason for her to decide that particular outfit. i mean, i understand from a marketing point of view -- to appeal to the horny male masses -- but i wish there had been a story point to go with it.
all in all, i don't know if i'd sit down to watch it again more than once or twice: but i feel no urge to gouge my eyes out.
