In the highly unlikely issue that anyone was still wondering whether mononymous French director Pitof ’s 2004 Catwoman was n’t actually an absolute tragedy , one of the motion-picture show ’s author would like you to make love that he recall it was a “ motherfucker movie . ” Bold Word . bluff , honorable Word .
In answer to former First Lady Michelle Obama ’s glowing endorsement of Black Panther for its dim delegacy , Federalist polish critic D.C. McAllistertook to Twitterto interrogate why there had n’t been a similar groundswell of support around Pitof ’s Catwoman . Aside from the fact that the titulary spark advance of both films are inglorious superheroes with felid motive , there are n’t that many similarity between the two .
Black Panther ’s pitch blackness - led product team put a tremendous amount of employment into realizing a version of Wakanda that was inspired by and celebratory of many of Africa ’s cultures . Catwoman ’s production team boil out a eldritch story about ancient Egyptian kat legerdemain and scrap against an evil composition top executive . There were some feminist factor to Catwoman to be sure , but the picture show as a whole was so bad that really , it ’s hard to centre on its few positive feature .
That ’s a sympathetic view of the motion picture compared to Catwoman co - writer John Rogers ’ , who saw McAllister ’s charge and straight up called his own movie out for being hot food waste :
As one of the credited writers of CATWOMAN , I trust I have the authorization to say : because it was a darn movie dumped by the studio apartment at the end of a style cycle , and had zero cultural relevancy either in front of or behind the television camera .
This is a bad take . Feel shame.https://t.co/6sth7w38Xx

William Penn Adair Rogers ’ point about ethnical relevance is probable in reference to the fact that the Brobdingnagian absolute majority of Catwoman ’s yield team — its conductor , cinematographer , author , and producer — were mostly lily-white and male . Halle Berry ’s performance was bad , to be indisputable , but who have intercourse how much of that can be attribute to the fact that the originative minds behind the film had no idea how to build a proper story for the actor to shine in ?
In any showcase , permit it now be known that Catwoman ’s terribleness is n’t just the material of general internet wonk smugness . At least one of the folks who made the movie hates it even more than you do .
