Halle's 'Catwoman' Makes Another 'Worst' List

Halle Berry

It's the movie that has nine lives, but not in a good way. The 2004 film "Catwoman" starring Halle Berry in the title role was listed among Entertainment Weekly's new "20 Worst Comic-Book Movies Ever" list.

Also making the cut was "Tank Girl," which co-started Ice-T as a mutant kangaroo; the Tim Story-directed "Fantastic Four" and the 1997 film "Steel" starring Phoenix Suns center Shaquille O'Neal.

The films each contain commentary, listed below, from EW magazine writers.     

• CATWOMAN (2004) Halle Berry followed up her historic Oscar-winning turn in Monster's Ball with a Razzie-winning role as the agile, pleather-clad heroine in this abomination of a film. Major props to Berry, though, for actually showing up at the Razzies ceremony to accept her award and deliver a rousing speech that included the brutally honest line: 'I want to thank Warner Bros. for casting me in this piece-of-s**t, god-awful movie.' We agree.

• TANK GIRL (1995) If ever a comic-book movie should've been a cartoon, this is it. Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett's British comic — about a pint-size hellion who liked blowing stuff up, hanging out with mutant kangaroos, and blowing more stuff up — was full of mad, impossible-to-translate energy. And Lori Petty just wasn't cut out for carrying a movie all by herself. Notable only for the casting of Ice-T as one of the aforementioned mutant kangaroos and Naomi Watts as Tank Girl's gal pal, Jet Girl.

• FANTASTIC FOUR (2005) Take one beloved comic series, add four bland, overrated actors, and what do you get? A horrible, tedious movie that somehow managed to make a buck — $330 million worldwide, to be exact — and generate one unfortunate franchise. Too bad the script wasn't money — the film's character development was so diluted, it was difficult to determine which of the four was the invisible one.

• STEEL (1997) Let's pretend we were in the room for the conversation between Shaquille O'Neal's agent and the folks at Warner Bros. that led to this disaster, rivaled only by Kazaam. AGENT: 'Shaq really likes comic books...he's even got that Superman "S" tattooed, somewhere. Do you have a comic movie he could star in?' WARNER: "Well, it just so happens that DC killed Superman, and replaced him with a bunch of lame-ass poseurs. And one of them is a giant black dude who carries a big hammer and welds himself a suit of armor." AGENT: "Sounds horrible. Where do we sign?"
