Catwoman and Bourne Supremacy

[Dagger75]

I just saw Bourne. It rocked. Almost as good as the first one, but this one had a better car chase scene.

... like say Angela Basset, Sigourney Weaver, or Linda Hamilton.

Mmmmmmm.......... *drool, drool*......

Basset, Weaver and Hamilton.....

I'm sorry, were you saying something?

Anyway, I have yet to be impressed by Berry, and I'm still bitter they cast her as Storm instead of the only true Storm, Angela Basset. mmmmm.... Angela Basset.... (goes back to drooling)

I agree, Berry just hasn't ever impressed me. For someone who is the goddess of storms she acted more cardboard than david duchuvany (sp) in anything having to do with red shoes.

Just saw Bourne Supremacy. Great movie. Would've been a whole lot better if I could have seen the action scenes. Stupid camera was shaking so hard it gave me a headache. I don't know who told the DP that was artistic. Maybe he was just cracked out or something...

Hallie, may be beautiful (maybe nothing, she is superfine) and maybe she can give a solid supporting role, but she is no leading actress, not by a long shot. I did not see her in Monster, but in Xmen, she does nothing special for the character and in the Bond flick, she did ok, but how hard is it to be a bond girl, after all Denise Richard's did it (another very beautiful woman). Despite her beauty, I do not think she has on screen charisma.

Monster's Ball. Monster starred Charlize Theron and Christina Ricci.

BTW, where the heck did you get your avatar? It looks so familiar it's bugging me.

I saw Bourne Supremacy and enjoyed it, definitely on par with the first movie.

John Rogers? Of jonrog1 fame? I didn't know that. Looks like he's one of three credited screenwriters, while there are three other credited with the story.

I recall him stating a while back that it was reworked so much that it no longer had anything to do with what he wrote (I believe he mentioned it in his story hour).

While I've finally gotten sick the fast cut close-up style of shooing fight scenes, I think the way they were shot in this movie fit and was appropriate.

Duh! That's why it looked so familiar! I feel much shame...

I recall him stating a while back that it was reworked so much that it no longer had anything to do with what he wrote (I believe he mentioned it in his story hour).

I remember back when Ashley Judd was attached to the project that Catwoman (I can't recall if she was still Selina Kyle at that point) was supposed to be a retired gymnast who ran an animal grooming or rescue business who runs afoul of the corrupt mayor and gangsters. She adopts the Catwoman persona to steal from the mob, like Robin Hood.

I don't know if that's the version he wrote, but, as you can see, it looks nothing like the plot of the current film.

And, as an update, I mentioned before that Catwoman was scoring a 2.5 (out of 10) on the IMDB, with 309 votes. Well, I checked again today to compare it to Batman & Robin to see if the "it's actually worse than..." comments were true. To my surprise, Catwoman now has 501 votes, but has dropped to a 2.4! 67% of voters scored it a 1.

Yes, this definitely looks like it's going to end up on the Bottom 100 of All Time on the IMDB.

Batman & Robin, btw, has a 3.6. And the two Captain America made-for-tv movies rated a 3.4 and 3.2 respectively.

On the bright side, it's still better than Gigli (2.1).

You know, as the negative reviews roll in, I'm developing a strange desire to see this movie. Can it really be this bad? Of course, I live in the middle of nowhere, so the local theatre may not even be showing it, so I may have to wait until DVD anyway.

My advice to you (and everyone who feels the same way) is to wait and rent it on DVD. If too many people go see it in the theater out of idle curiousity, the movie might make enough money so as to encourage the makers to do another one...

This may well have been as good as the first movie, I honestly couldn't tell. I don't realy know what was on 1/3 to 1/2 (mabye more) of the film simply because they were using camera people that apparently had epilepsy and were in the middle of grand mal seizures during most of the shooting. That or the camera crew realy needs to get only de-caf next time around.

I'm definately waiting before catching the third installment. If I hear that this crap is on the screen again I simply won't go. Call me old-fashioned or something, but when I pony-up money to see a movie I expect to actualy be able to see the bloody movie, not end up with eyes that hurt (no, I'm not kidding) and a mild headache from trying to watch it.

The only way I'd even think about buying this trash on DVD would be if it came with a 'as in theatres' version as well as a "Director's cut that you can actualy watch" version. But definately not holding my breath.
